When Miami Heat star Chris Bosh isn't running pick and rolls with Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers, apparently he's now back patrolling Miami's streets, tracking down those responsible for the criminal rash of... parking signs? That's the motif behind Tall Justice 2, the hilarious brand new Funny Or Die sequel to his original Tall Justice from 2010, with Bosh returning as the titular 'Tall Justice', a vertically gifted mild-mannered meter maid-turned-street cop searching for answers, "Undercover and under covers." But who is his mysterious former partner who's been transferred? And does Bosh really believe that you might be better off dead than living in Cleveland?

Written and directed by Alex Richanbach, in the clip Bosh — who has averaged 21.9 points and 7.9 rebounds this year, but is struggling back from a calf injury as the Miami Heat have struggled to a 15-20 record without his 6' 10" defensive presence — is coerced back into meter-maiding by his new partner, Spud, who tells him "You may be done with the game Justice, but the game's not done with you."
'Spud' (played by Joe Hartzler), also needles him, seemingly about LeBron James, "We ned you back," he says.
"After everything that happened?" growls Bosh.
"Is this still about your partner?" asks Spud. "You talk about him like he's dead. he just got transferred to Cleveland."
"Is that any better?" spits Bosh.
James famously left the Miami Heat in July 2014 to return to his hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers after two NBA championships and four straight trips to the NBA finals with Bosh, Wade and the Heat.
In the rest of the clip, Bosh confronts his chief, then discovers evidence ("It's not here." "... No. It's way up here, where they thought no one would find it.") that frames him so he's forced to hide undercover... most hilariously as a small white dude hiding from a police patrolman (played in a cameo by Steve Little, Eastbound & Down's Stevie Janowski). He also hooks with a 'fine' lady, played by Corbin Reid.
Check out the clip for Tall Justice 2 below and let us know what you think. Could Chris Bosh take up acting once he's done with the NBA? Is it just us, or he actually not that bad?
