On and off the court, Bosh is every bit the thinker we all imagine. He is a Georgia Tech product who codes HTML to relax and once attended an after school program called, “Whiz Kids,” as he revealed to ESPN’s Tom Hasherstroh back in June. So it figures that Bosh has put serious thought into his new role as Miami’s No. 1 option. With LeBron James no longer in town, Bosh is now charged with serving as the focal point of the Heat offense, which means finding balance between scoring punch and facilitating....
