Two years ago, Chris Bosh came to Miami in the offseason and played a little pickup with the Hurricanes.
Afterward Larranaga asked the Miami Heat player what he thought about his team. After asking he could be frank, Bosh told Larranaga a hard truth -- that his team was soft physically, that they didn't work hard enough and that they simply weren't very good.
A few weeks later, Larranaga had Bosh tell that to the Hurricanes. The coach had been preaching that for weeks, but he knew it would resonate slightly better coming from Bosh than himself.
Bosh came back to work with the Hurricanes this past summer.
"It wasn't the same,'' Larranaga said. "And we knew that.''
Now slowly everyone else is coming around to see what Bosh learned.
