Say Chris Bosh never joined the Heat...

[Real14]

...how many rings (even tho he have only asterisks) would bronnatella have? 0? 1?? 2???

[G0ATbe]

No Bosh, no rebound for Ray Allen bailout 3.

so 0.5* from the lockout year.

[SouBeachTalents]

With no replacement? 0

If they replace him with a similar caliber player, most likely 2

I agree on the first part but the thunder still might beat them in 2012.

[Papaya Petee]

Still more rings than Knicks since late 70s

[bigkingsfan]

Five, he would have joined the Spurs instead.

[JT123]

Probably 3, and I'm being dead serious. If Bosh hadn't joined that's 100 million dollars that the Heat can use to sign great role players and rebounders. The Heat won in 2013 with Bosh averaging a pathetic stat line of 12/6
I'm pretty sure 2 decent role players would have contributed more than than 12 points and 6 boards, which means the Heat have a very good chance of winning in 2011. People forget just how inefficient Bosh was against the Mavs that year.

[Kobe_6/8]

At least 1, probably more. Bosh was the least important member of the Heatles.

Lebron stays living rent free in this dude's head. I don't blame him either, if I had to watch Lebron wipe his ass on the Spurs the same way he does to the Knicks every year, I might be as mentally shook as this guy enough to post Lebran about him than my own damn team.

Thankfully, I'm not a Knicks fan.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Lebron would have done what he always does..

recruit another all star..

Or if this didn't happen

Bosh averaged more ppg in the finals than bran..

[Legends66NBA7]

Replace him with a player of that level or gather better role players. They still win about the same.

[JohnMax]

They struggled without Bosh in 2012 playoffs

Bosh has been a top 24 player (all-star) ten times in his career.

I don't think the OP's intent was to replace Bosh with ANOTHER top 24 player.. That defeats the whole purpose.
