Fast Facts
- Fun Facts: You may know Allison Mathis for two reasons. Let's start with the first and more fun reason:
In a game in early January, 2008, Bosh's Raptors hosted LeBron James and the Cavs. The Raptors were up rather comfortably in the third quarter when LeBron stole the ball and took off for a breakaway dunk, only to miss. After the failed dunk a couple of courtside fans, including Allison Mathis began getting on LeBron's case. After initially laughing it off, LeBron exploded for 24 points in the 4th quarter helping the Cavs to a big comeback win. Late in the 4th, LeBron was seen pointing at Mathis and friends saying, "It's your fault." After the game, LeBron confirmed that he was directing his comments to them stating, "They're the reason the Raptors lost tonight,... ticked me off a little bit."
Hell, just go watch the SportsCenter highlight of it here. - Quote: OK, so now for the less fun reason you may have heard of Allison Mathis.
Mathis and Bosh were together for a while, and ultimately decided to have a child together. After coming home from the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Bosh made it clear to the 7-month-pregnant Mathis that he was ready to end the relationship, and then attempted to remove her from their jointly owned home. In May of 2009, Mathis brought a suit against Bosh, and according to the court documents filed by Mathis, "With Mathis seven months pregnant it is alleged Bosh stopped supporting her financially and attempted to have her removed from their home. Without money to pay for her obstetrician appointments, let alone a means of transportation to attend them, Mathis, according to the documents, suffered “breakthrough bleeding and a constantly upset stomach” while utility companies threatened to disconnect her electricity, gas and water." - Fast Facts: Look, we're not going to cast judgement on anyone here. However, if this controversey makes you think less of Bosh, then maybe watching this video will make you feel better. PlayerWives all time favorite player Paul Pierce and his left knee may have just guaranteed that Chris Bosh will never face another paternity suit.
