Lack of News On Chris Bosh’s Status Bringing Bad Flashbacks For Miami Heat

Whenever things seem to be getting better, something always comes along to make it worse. So says the Miami Heat fans who almost had a great day when the team traded to acquire point guard Goran Dragic. That is until Chris Bosh checked himself into a Miami-area hospital.
Suddenly the news went from Bosh not traveling with the team to New York because of an illness to a team spokesman confirming that he was went to undergo tests for his lungs. Then reckless, speculative reports about his health status began to flood everyone’s timeline.
I, myself, choose not to pretend that I have a social media medical degree, so I will save everyone time by not running through a list of people’s theories of “what ifs” and “what it could be.” That’s something Dwyane Wade has also decided to avoid, as he told the Miami Herald:
“I don’t know if he was sick [while they vacationed in Haiti]. I’m not a doctor. I just know he wasn’t feeling good. He wasn’t coughing or throwing up, but he just wasn’t feeling good. So I don’t know when it happened. It could have happened in New York.”
What everyone can agree on is that any random hospital visit for a player in a Miami uniform will give true Heat fans flashbacks of Alonzo Mourning’s kidney disease in the fall of 2000. That’s especially the case when the news is semi-secretive.
Smart people know that life is bigger than basketball, so ignore all of the personal attacks and foolish jokes and send a well wish for Bosh just in case it’s something more than the complications of flu-like symptoms.
