VIDEO: Chris Bosh blocks shots from 30 staff members of The Late Late Show

In his first televised game action since being shut down with blood clots on his lung in February, Chris Bosh took on The Late Late Show staff on Wednesday.

The Miami Heat superstar held little back against James Corden's crew, with Bosh stopping an attempt from all 30 staff members who took a shot. That includes former Saturday Night Live standout Jason Sudeikis, who ate one of the nastier rejections in the set - even if Sudeikis may have a goaltending gripe.

The affable Bosh resumed on-court activity in early June following the terrifying event that made him feel "lucky to be alive" and gave him "a new outlook on life." He has vowed to be ready for opening night, though it's not entirely clear if he'll be at 100 percent when Heat training camp opens on Sept. 28.

A healthy Bosh will be paramount to a talented but thin Heat team reaching its potential - potential that president Pat Riley believes extends to title contention. In 44 games last season, Bosh earned his 10th All-Star appearance, averaging 21.1 points, seven rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 46 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from long range.

Despite the video evidence from The Late Late Show, Bosh's shot-blocking declined precipitously as he shifted more of his minutes back to power forward than he had the last two seasons.
