What do you buy a man who can afford almost anything? If you're scholarly Shane Battier, brainstorming ideas for the Miami Heat's Secret Santa exchange, the answer is obvious: a telescope*. That's the present Battier gave Chris Bosh. Other items received by players included wine, a painting and designer luggage, so Bosh might not be over the moon about his haul. We're sure Bosh will find space for it in the back of a closet (or, if he likes it, his observatory^).
Of course, if Bosh wants to see stars, he should look on the court, not up at the cosmos. When we think about it, a telescope is probably a better bounty for LeBron; he can use the device to stare at Saturn, looking longingly at all its rings.
*because a rock tumbler would be tacky.
^ perhaps his new hobby will lead to a friendship with fellow hoopster and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson Chandler.
