While nearly all of the focus on this year’s NBA free agency period has been on LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, no one has forgotten about All Star big man Chris Bosh and where he will ultimately land.

More from LeBron James

Bosh has made it clear that he wants to play with LeBron James, and he is willing to take a major pay cut in order to return to Miami with “The King.” With James’ decision seemingly right around the corner, Bosh is waiting in the wings to see what his former Heat teammate will do.

With a four-year, $88 million dollar contract offer from the Houston Rockets waiting on the table for Bosh, LeBron’s decision can not come fast enough. 

Amidst the free agency frenzy, Bosh has decided to get away from it all and take a trip to Ghana with his family.

Bosh will be participating in the Basketball Without Borders program, and he spoke to the media upon his arrival:

"Of course it’s a great feeling to be here in Ghana. I’ve heard a much about the country and how nice its people are. So it’s a place I very much was interested in coming and I’m already enjoying my time here with this wonderful reception."

Bosh will be working with kids during his time in Ghana, and he is excited about the opportunity to help them grow:

"I love to work with kids so I definitely will have a good time teaching and playing basketball with them. I know Africans are very talented and it will be a privilege to help nurture and inspire them to develop their game and get opportunity to play in the NBA."

Even while in Ghana, we can be sure Bosh will anxiously be awaiting LeBron’s decision just like every other basketball player and fan on this planet.
