The case, according to online court records, appears to be a custody case involving the Miami Heat forward (and “Big Three” member) and his former girlfriend.
Apparently Bosh was in no mood to talk:
@Slim_MF Salim R
@ItsHamzi I WAS 3 FEET AWAY FROM @CHRISBOSH I SAID HI AND HE DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ME LOL
The juicy details of Bosh’s split with Allison Mathis, might explain why.
Rockville is not the only place the two are going one-on-one on, er, in the courts. Bosh recently sued Mathis in California over her starring role in the latest edition of the VH1 reality show “Basketball Wives.”
And it’s not the first time in recent years that legal issues have brought an NBA star to our fair city.
(Apparently, the city's new slogan—"Get Into It"—could apply to its courtrooms and halfway houses as well.)
If you can’t afford to see Bosh, LeBron and Wade at Verizon Center, keep an eye on the court docket. Who knows? You might just catch a glimpse of one-third of the Big Three in Rockville Town Center.
Just don’t expect an autograph.
