That?s cold, Bo. Difference in Bo and Charles is that Charles would?ve taken a selfie with every student if they wanted.

He actually took selfies with students continuously during the first half. It was a constant stream. pic.twitter.com/GzzG0MHNKM

If he said ?yes?, all of a sudden nobody would be watching the game. Hes respecting the players on the floor and the other fans trying to watch.

nah, it?s extremely rude to bother someone during a game like this. He?s a grown ass man, he can choose a better time to ask for a selfie.

Bo knows there's a game going on, and the second he told someone "yes," a line would form and be a huge distraction, block other people from seeing the game, and take him away from what he came there to do...watch the game.
