Steph Curry to Toronto fans: Don't boo Chris Bosh during All-Star Weekend
Upon leaving the Toronto Raptors to join the Miami Heat in 2010, forward Chris Bosh became a marked man in the city he once called home.
Selected fourth overall by the franchise in 2003, Bosh spent the first seven years of his career wearing Raptor red, leading the team to two postseason appearances, although they never advanced past the first round.

Since his time north of the border, Bosh has added more All-Star nods to his resume, as well as two championships in South Beach alongside Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Every time he returns to Toronto as an opposition member, boos echo throughout the Air Canada Centre as the loyal fan base voices their displeasure to the former CB4.
During Friday's All-Star Media Day, reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors implored the city to stop booing Bosh, who is a member of the Eastern Conference All-Star team and will be participating in the Three-Point Contest.

The Raptors are holding down the No. 2 seed in the East at 35-17, 6.5 games ahead of Bosh's Heat (29-24).
The 12-year vet is Toronto's all-time leader in minutes played (18,815), points (10,275), total rebounds (4,776), and blocked shots (600).
