Has any "superstar" ever had a worse resume than Chris Bosh?

[Rameek]

Bosh played on some pretty terrible teams in Southern Alaska....

The guy is legit just played for a horrendous organization. With literally some of the worst cast of teammates.

I wouldve added KG.. was tryna do a top five tho.

also kg fell off quicker than all those guys. Overall bosh is a 3rd or 2nd option type.. no superstar shit. but still.. if you got wade(legit superstar) + a 20/10 'allstar level guy' not superstar level:rolleyes: ... you still take it. Bosh couldve won chips as the second best guy. You dont even need a 'superstar' teammate for compliment to win.

McHale wasnt top 5.. pau gasol wasnt top 5.. arguablly pippen wasnt top 5 while he won with MJ

If Wade and Bosh are so good surely the Heat will contend next year?

Bosh - $23.6 million/year - more than 3 times
Diaw - $7.5 million/year

What a joke on Miami. So much for him saying he's willing to take less - he took them to the cleaners. It's disgusting that a player like Bosh can make that amount of money just because Miami is desperate.

Lebron must be Bosh's new best friend and Wade's new worst enemy.

Bosh is a star, but he is not a superstar. hell hes not even a superstar when compared to just PFs

Depends 100% on Wade's knees and pretty much nothing else.

im def. not a fan of bosh, but he will have a couple nice years in the EC. he is still in his prime and now he can show his real value.

It's funny cuz he actually has a good resume. I'd say his resume > his ability. He's not a superstar, but he's a legit star. Or was. We'll see.

Edit: Hmm... he's better compared to PF. Especially as a player who can do something almost no one else can.

Bosh may be wetter than K Love. Let's make a thread!

Surprised to see no one has defended Bosh's "superstar" status, I guess it's just been trolls on here and misinformed people in the media

[bizil]

Bosh actually has a pretty nice resume...

10 prime seasons 20-9-2 with two titles and four finals trips
A five year individual peak of 23-10-2 with an average of 40 wins without another top 60 teammate.
9 all-star games in 11 seasons
an all-nba second team and two top-12 MVP showings.

Already a top 150 player all-time.

Much better resume than Horace Grant, Robert Horry,



I am sort of in agreement with this. Other than the very good rebounder part. I'd say, fine rebounder and above average defender.

His time in Toronto showed he was a star, but not a superstar. Even when the big three first joined up in 2010, he was the clear number three.

Judging him by his all-NBA selections or lack there of is obviously flawed. Consider #3 turned #2 options James Worthy and Kevin McHale, greater than Bosh for sure, and many others with better all-NBA merits.

His career has been just as it should be somewhere between Robert Parish and Larry Nance. Guys who were #1 type players on lesser teams and joined winning teams as #3 options. (a bit of a stretch but it works) His resume puts him above Nance and below Parish (so far). Seems about right to me.

Good post! In terms of rebounding, his Toronto years say he was a fine rebounder for sure. I think what's ironic is that when he signed with the heat, he wasn't in that 28-32 years of age for peak. He was still growing as a player. He went to Miami to be a great third option and the play worked. But now we will see what Bosh can do as number one or two (depending on Wade's health) in Miami. We will see if he game has grown since his Toronto days.
