Who's Better? Chris Bosh or David West?? 

Post#1 » by Raps1423 » Thu Jul 10, 2008 7:19 pm

My friend and I are debating on who we think is a better player. I think its very close because of their abilities to shoot the ball from the mid-range, but I think Bosh has the slighter edge because of his leadership. What do you guys think?

I think this thread is a blatant attempt to hype Bosh over a player he's clearly better than.

This comparison has already been discussed. It's clearly Bosh.

Could be that, or it could be someone over-hyping David West.

It's Bosh, by a fair margin, mostly due to his ability to get to the foul line to me, David probably has the slight edge as a rebounder, and defender, though it's tough to tell with Bosh playing out of position so much, and David having a perfect complimentary player.

And good lord, I wish people would stop pretending they can quantify leadership.
