NEW YORK -

Heat star Chris Bosh made an appearance on 'Live! with Kelly" on Tuesday morning.
The star discussed a wide variety of topics with Kelly Ripa and guest host Tyler Perry.

Bosh said the 2011 season was tough for the Heat.

Bosh said, "A lot of people see it as just playing basketball, but we put everything into it."

Bosh said of winning the title this year, "It's just such a great feeling, it's the greatest feeling ever."

Bosh said having his family behind him the whole playoff run was the best part.

Bosh said Game 5, the clinching game, was his son's first game and "I knew I had to do something special because he was in the building and my daughter got to be in the parade yesterday."

Bosh laughed when talking about the thrill of meeting Oprah to do an interview.

Bosh said he did reading for inspiration including Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" about "thinking without thinking."

Bosh also discussed his abdominal strain.

He said, "It means you'd be surprised how much you use your abdominal muscles."
