A basic Google image search of the Miami Heat's Chris Bosh will return more than a few pictures which show him with some strange expressions on his face.

As it turns out, some of the more silly ones are completely intentional, thanks to an interaction with family members who happen to be sitting in courtside seats.

“My kids started it,” Bosh said, via the Palm Beach Post. “My oldest (Trinity), she started it. She loved coming to the games and they like interacting with me. When my son (Jackson) got old enough he started coming to the games and doing it, too. They’re right there and the whole time they yell, ‘Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.’

“Actually, I can’t remember if I started making faces at them or they started it. I don’t know. I’ve been doing that with my daughter for four years at least. Every time they sit there I do it. They love it.”

Bosh said the exchange with his children -- which happens only in the first half, since halftime is bedtime -- helps keep him relaxed. So, let's maybe not be so hard on him the next time a photo pops up which shows him doing something like this.
