Cant wait to see Chris Bosh inducted to the HOF next year

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Top 10 PF of alltime

23/10/3 on 50% from 06-10. Was 20/9/2 for 11 years, 11 straight all star selections. Peaked as 24/11 on 52%. Unfortunately played in the most stacked PF era ever with the 3 GOATs (KG, Duncan, Dirk) still in their primes for alot, and that was relegated to spotup duties in his later prime

amazing offensive weapon that led multiple top 10 offenses in Toronto including 2 top 5. Could face up, shoot the midrange J, developed a 3 later on. Could pass, handle, finish.

And under Spo he developed into one of the best, most versatile defensive bigs in the league. His defense was crucial in their blitzing, trapping schemes on pick and roll. Numerous clutch plays on both ends in key playoff moments too

Much respect:applause::applause:

Solid spot up shooter:applause:

then ya got Rod, Bobby, CWebb, Sheed, Kemp, Amare

I dont rank players who was in their prime in the 50s like Dolph

Jerry Lucas:lol

Rodman - was too limited offensively to be higher than Bosh. He was almost always the 4th or 5th option on his teams

CWebb - its been over a decade since he been retired and still no HOF yet. Flashy player but he didnt have the substance of Bosh and the intangibles/winning. Bad defender too

Amare - alltime bad defender one of the WOATs. He got injured in 06 and the Suns barely dropped off with Diaw replacing him and were still 2 games from the finals. Great offensive player but he gives up almost everything on the other end. Low impact, turnover factory as well

Pau - :roll: Bosh was clearly better. Pau is 0-16 in the playoffs as the 1st option. Give me the dude who can win playoff games as his team's best player. Pau aint win a playoff game without Kobe until be he became Jimmys robin in Chicago and then he was an inconsequential role player in San Antone when he was winning playoff games again

[ArbitraryWater]

Weak East but you pride yourself on Bosh's all star selections?

Man would have had 1-2 at most in the West

Dude became nothing but a worse shooting Kyle Korver

Got outrebounded by midgets

Admitted playoffs was too big for him in 2007

Admitted he shied away from the post to become a shooter

Bad post defender

The amount of black players in the league were still low with all the racism for most of the 50s. It wasnt until the late 50s where it started getting more talent overall and by the 60s there was a good amount

Dolph averaged peak Bosh numbers in the early 60's, until injuries and age ruined his production

Stop it man!

No he didnt. You know you have to adjust the numbers then for pace and possessions right? U think Wilt averaging 50/26 in the 00s? :oldlol: His numbers werent on Boshs level at all

[Kblaze8855]

When we are laughing off the mention of guys in the top 50 list over a guy who before joining the heat had peak years where he was 8th among forwards alone in all nba voting I need to just exit and not let it get disrespectful.

He was literally 12th, 9th, and 8th in voting among just forwards in 2008-10. See how many people had Bosh as a top player summer 09....

Bosh got a lot better in retrospect to plenty of people for some reason.

You ask Bosh or Brandon Roy back then....lot of people take Brandon Roy. Or Amare. Or A lot of guys. Those old topics exist. Bosh or Zach Randolph wasn’t like....considered a dumb question at times. Anyway....let me go make dinner.

You are right on the nail. Bosh was good, not great. Not a soul to America praised Bosh as a Hall of Famer before 2011. The point focus stands straight.

The only way Bosh should be in the Hall of Fame is as a paying customer.

[Whoah10115]

All-Star selections and the Heat run...not a Hall-of-Famer tho.

Not as good as Webber.

[jstern]

After joining Miami he became one of the most talented spot up shooters of his era. This went a long way in the times where his team needed a little more from him and he was allowed to break through.

[Smoke117]

Bosh has zero chance of being a first ballot hofer. If he ever gets in it will be one of those years down the line situations.

[Monta Ellis MVP]

He made 11 all star games in a row before being sick and having to retire. Hall of Famer.

[Reggie43]

Arguably the softest power forward in nba history deserves to be in the hall? Same dude that made Hibbert look like Jabbar in the playoffs?:facepalm

I'm not impressed by either, but Webber clearly has a bigger case for HOF, so if he hasn't gotten in how could anyone think Bosh would first ballot? That's the point, though. OP clearly knows he won't get in he's just a ****ing weak troll who likes to say stupid shit to amuse his small capacity for intelligence. A pathetic mongrel if there ever was.

[aj1987]

Pettits best years were in the early 60s

nice reading babyboi

Pettit won 2 MVP's and 3 ASG MVP's. Made the All-Star team 5 times and All-NBA 6 times. Was a 2x scoring champ and a rebounding champ. All of those were in the '50's. How are you always wrong and dumb as shit?

[Kblaze8855]

It’s too late for him to be first ballot. He was on the ballot this season and didn’t make the list of 8 finalists. He’s a lock to make it though. Basketball HOF includes just about everyone even borderline. You aren’t gonna make 10 all star games and not go to the basketball hall.

It really is crazy when you look at the list of players with 10+ all-star selections and you see Bosh listed there, literally one appearance below Bird/Magic/Russell/Hakeem :lol If not for his health issues for all we know he could've legitimately ended up being a 15x all-star

Goes to show how worthless being an all star is. What matters is being all nba.

Only HoF to have a 0 point game in a Game 7 of the NBA Finals?

[red1]

Ive seen his entire career he was good top 10 pf all-time is a huge stretch

[LostCause]

I don't understand how people are actually surprised he's a hall of famer

I get the Bron stans getting in their feelings and trying to undervalue him (also hilarious they're now calling the East weak since he made 11 AS teams) but reasonably speaking he was a lock. 11 All-Star selections, 2x Champion, Olympic gold medalist.

There are certainly more deserving players but this isn't surprising at all

Definitely not "Top 10" all-time though lol

His only all nba nod is 2nd team in 2007 and all nba holds more weight for me than all star games. I’d also be curious if he was voted in by the fans or if the coaches put him in...I’d respect it more if it’s the coaches but I bet he was being voted in during the Heatle days because of popularity. I’m sure he was voted in by Canadians during his Toronto days. The NBA needs to stop just letting pretty good players in...it degrades the honor.

[Kblaze8855]

I’m sure coaches put him in plenty but who was the other option? Millsap, Deng, and Horford are the other backup forwards a lot of those years and he started some with injury replacements. He got a starter spot when Rondo was hurt one year and it was him or Brook Lopez for the extra spot. Year before he was a backup with David Lee and Gerald Wallace. Previous year it was 15 guys and they reached all the way down to past his prime Orlando Rashard Lewis. So yea it wasn’t the best competition to get in especially with injury spots. If 14 guys make the team between real picks and injury guys....it’s not really the highest honor. But it is what it is. He pretty much always deserved it. They weren’t leaving any heavyweights out for him. Some of the guys he beat out might make the hall too. Joe Johnson might creep in though he wouldn’t get my vote.

This is a good point. The Eastern Conference didn’t have a lot of talent in those years.

I have a hard time imagining Joe Johnson getting in. He got made fun of for getting that crazy contract before Atlanta doubled down.

I see that sticking in minds. Plus, I don't think people think of Joe Johnson. Iso Joe for 21PPG seems seems off. They haven't even put in. Webber and he's in the media and seemingly popular.

Dropped 40+ on prime Dwight multiple times with Toronto. 11x All-Star, 5x with Toronto......2x champion, why not?

Averaged 20.2 and 9.4 boards with Toronto. Don't see why not. LeBron and Wade thought highly enough about him to play together in Miami.

Agreed. Bosh is a surefire HOF player but he made only one all-NBA team and never was a MVP candidate. He was a consistent all-star for a long time and a key player on 2 championship teams but he did not have the peaks all those guys you mentioned had. He is a top 15 PF but top 10 is a stretch, unless, as often happens people are just going to ignore players who played before the 90s.
