"I don't really care about criticism," Bosh said. "If it doesn't help me, then I don't listen to it. Throughout my career, it's changed, ever since I've gotten here, but you just have to put that behind you. Everybody gets criticized, and I understand that. I'm not immune to it. But I think it makes you stronger as a person, and I believe in my craft. I work hard at my game and that's all that matters."
