Tom Haberstroh's superb profile of injured Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh has a lot of insight on what it is like to be Chris Bosh and injured in the playoffs, but the best quote has more to do with Bosh's reaction to Miami's loss in the 2011 NBA Finals.
"What are your dreams?" Bosh asks. "What do you want the most out of anything in this world? Dangle it in front of you, work hard as hell to get it, and then take it away. Gone."
Call Chris Bosh soft if you want. But don't say he doesn't get it.
Happy labor day....Enjoy it

The San Antonio Spurs were lauded as being a rather boring team for the majority of their dynasty seasons, but that isn't the case anymore. The team is aging, certainly, but they're also getting more exciting.
The "no longer boring" label doesn't only apply to the innovative offense and on-court product, however -- even the team's off-court incidents have become more entertaining. The latest example came Sunday night, via Stephen Jackson, following the now-famous "nasty" speech from head coach Gregg Popovich.
Kevin Seraphin's successful trip to Six Flags concluded with a trunk full of stuffed animals, including a red pirate dog with a cigar in its mouth. The offseason is the best, you guys.

Sporting Kansas City beat the San Jose Earthquakes at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Sunday 2-1 to snap a four match winless streak for KC.
While the facts of the match have received all of the headlines so far, we likely will be hearing a lot more about an incident late in the match very soon.
The Andretti family may be racing royalty, but the Indianapolis 500 doesn't care. Not since 1969 when Mario Andretti won has the family tasted victory at the Brickyard, with the family going 0-for-66 in combined attempts from Mario's sons Michael and Jeff, nephew John and grandson Marco Andretti.
In fact, Marco, in his seventh Indy 500 start, couldn't even finish this year's race, wrecking with just 12 laps to go when he was eighth place. Marco led early in the race and was among the leaders all day before his frustrating crash, which you can see below the jump.
It's never a good idea to burn bridges -- unless, I suppose, you're a four-star offensive lineman with offers from almost every major football program in the nation.
The Miami Heat will be heavy favorites heading into the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, even without Chris Bosh. But they do not have what Boston has: Kevin Garnett, master of staring into your soul.
The National Anthem for Saturday night's friendly between the USA and Scotland was memorable for all the wrong reasons. It was, simply, horrible. Maybe it was the acoustics. Maybe the singer, Victoria Zarlenga, was unable to hear herself and adjust the pitch accordingly. Whatever the case, it was ... well, it was an adventure.
It wasn't quite as bad as Carl Lewis, whose National Anthem will live forever on YouTube. But it was rough, to say the least.
