Bosh could EASILY get a max contract and become a number 1 option on a small market team and become a top power forward statistically if he wanted to. But he doesn't. People look at the way he runs and moves/ dresses etc and judge him rather then the great basketball player he is which is a shame.


This. Bosh has grown so much on me as a player and a person. He sacrifices so much for this team just so we can win.

As of right now most definetely. I mean out of players playing over 30 minutes a game and that have played the majority of their teams games he has the third highest PER in the league next to Lebron and Duncan. He is also second in the league next to Lebron in Estimated wins added.

You guys are very lucky to have Bosh. He will be very useful as he ages because of his jump shot.

I really dont think there is a Power Forward in the East that is doing better either (Carmelo is a SF reguardless of where they put him in the lineup!
Kevin Durrant is the best WNBA player in the NBA!

I'm not even talking about just this year, I'm talking about in general how he's always played good enough to start but never got to start. This is more about how the general "nba fan" disrespects him year after year.


Very true.

Even Toronto Fans who should know better downplay his hard work and skills now that he is gone.

First of all : I hate Miami, but Bosh is right now the second best "Center" in the league and the best PF
( I think Bynum is better as Center)

:roll: at beginning a statement with 'I hate Miami', as if that would add extra merit.

Bosh has been exceptional so far this season. He's playing more comfortable with his increased role.

While Bynum has further damaged his knee injury while bowling, that 76ers pick we got keeps on looking better and better.

For Chris Bosh, it's all a mind game

MIAMI -- Most NBA players want to achieve the "always the last guy to leave the gym" status, but there can only be one. For the Heat, it's a revolving door. After most Miami practices, you can find Shane Battier putting in extra time to work on his 3-point shot or Ray Allen at the free throw line or LeBron James and Dwyane Wade working on post-moves.

But typically the last-one-standing honor belongs to Chris Bosh. After the rest of his teammates leave for the showers, you can usually spot Bosh splashing 20-footers from the top of the key. There's a rhythmic feel to his routine. You can hear the flick of the wrist as he releases the shot, then the splat of his shoes hitting the hardwood and then the classic swish of the net. Flick, splat, swish. Over and over again.

Those are the syncopated sounds that probably keep opposing centers up at night. Bosh has been virtually automatic with his jumper this season. Currently he's shooting a league-leading 67 percent from 16 to 23 feet, which is almost twice as efficient as the league average from there (38 percent) according to Hoopdata.com. If Bosh nestles inside the three-point line by the right elbow for a shot, better start running the other way...
