View the entire interview after the jump.
Above: Video of the '2012 Go Topless Day Rally' In New York City. Started in 2007, the celebration and protest actually pushes an agenda of equal rights for the sexes in another way. Simply put, a breast is a breast - be it male or female. In fact, for the NYPD, 'breast exposure is not considered public lewdness, indecent exposure, or disorderly conduct.' In fact, the New York cops have been instructed to protect topless protesters like others marching for rights.
Take a nap... Then champagne and campaign! Now, that's hilarious (and true). Amen, Mr. Rose. Pay attention as Jalen Rose breaks down the 'after-work' life of those in NBA circles - like J. R. Smith (and himself) - in a way regular working folk can understand.
'Jalen Rose explains to David Jacoby that in an NBA player's lifestyle going to the nightclub late at night is no different than a 9 to 5 worker going to happy hour.'
You say what you want about Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh but this dude is hilarious with all the situations that seem to happen with him. Self-inflicted suspect photobombs or not one thing for sure is you can't deny the guy can play basketball. This ESPNmini-documentary with Lisa Salters exposes Chris Bosh for who he really is.....just a geeky, nerdy, yet highly intelligent former Georgia Tech student who had an interest in engineering & computer programming. To Chris Bosh's wife he's just a "goofball" who in more ways than one is just an entertainer at heart. Despite some of the negativity he's received it's kinda cool to see Chris Bosh won't allow anything to affect his sense of humor.
