Raptors fans may take the following comment the wrong way, but I swear that I’m not coming from a position of enmity when I make it. Positive and negative feelings both are being set aside when I make this completely neutral observation:
Does or does not Chris Boucher kind of look like a dinosaur? I think it has to do with the braided hairstyle, the angular yet soft face, and the uncommon lankiness. Coincidentally enough, these are all traits that Boucher shares with all-time-great Raptor Chris Bosh, who was also noted for his resemblance to the great race of giant lizards that terrorized the earth well before homo sapiens emerged from the evolutionary process.
In fact, Chris Boucher and Chris Bosh even have similar names. If their playstyles were more similar, Boucher would have already earned the nickname “Chris Bouch”. Sadly, Boucher has not shown himself to be the caliber of scorer that Bosh was, and he’s unlikely to ever develop to that point, so the “Chris Bouch” nickname will only ever be used ironically, diminishingly, or sneeringly.
I’m not trying to be a hater by noting Boucher’s dinosaurian appearance. I’m hyped by what Boucher does on the court and am excited to keep making videos for him (at least for the time being). It’s just that he kinda looks like a dinosaur and it wouldn’t entirely surprise me if his “birth” in “Saint Lucia” was actually “hatching out of an egg” in “a Jurassic-Park-esque science lab”.
