On Friday, March 4th 2022, Henry, Nazir, and I interviewed a former NBA Hall of Famer and All-Star, Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh had 11 out of his 13 seasons as an all-star showing just how good he was. He played for the Toronto Raptors and with and the Miami Heat with well known NBA stars Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. We interviewed him due to his knowledge of what the basketball industry is like behind the scenes. Him having a big role in the NBA gave him knowledge of what its like off camera that he shared with us/

One thing we heard from Chris Bosh was how it felt to be a Hall of Famer. He stated it gave him a lot of respect and recognition. He also stated he believed people will start making big changes to sexism in sports in coming years. Lastly he thinks the wage gap will change due to our generation wanting to make a change. Overall, this was an outstanding interview and everyone that was there was so really excited to meet him. We got to say our thanks and that we enjoyed watching him play in the NBA.
