JULY 16
Click Here for the Day 1 Photo GalleryThree weeks ago, India watched as Chris Bosh -- along with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat -- lifted the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the second straight year. The journey had taken them 105 games and 363 days to complete. And on Tuesday, July 16, Bosh added nearly 9,000 miles to the total.
Making an historic trip to India's largest city, Bosh spent his first day touring Mumbai's greatest attractions -- from the Gateway of India to a famed bazaar to, of course, a traditional Mumbai meal -- with the trophy in-hand. He shopped. He ate. He posed for pictures. He signed autographs. He served as a guest editor at the Times of India. He provided the first post for the brand-new NBA India Instagram page. And he made the world look a whole lot smaller.
To close Day 1, Bosh and his wife, Adrienne, had outfits specially created for them by ace designer Varun Behl for a party with Bollywood stars on Wednesday night. Stay tuned for more!
