“It’s a dream for me to be able to work with these guys. The way I look at it, competing at a high level, whether that’s business, art or film, athletics, anything you do, there’s a certain way to go about it. Being in the NBA, being successful, being able to win championships at the highest level in the world, there’s certain core values that you have, certain things you have to follow."

Zillgitt noted Bosh has plenty of gaming experience, particularly with the Halo and Call of Duty series.

Bosh's partnership with Gen.G Esports will likely occupy his time as he continues to pursue an NBA comeback after being sidelined since February 2016 due to ongoing issues with blood clots.
