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

[outbreak]

Don't forget MJ stans too!

I don't think MJ stans have to actually defend anything though...

So if he's not a superstar and is some borderline scrub to good role player as you seem to insist on then..

Bran in the 2011 finals during his prime not only got outscored by a role player on the other team but a role player on his team as well...

Damn..

Wow, way to put words in my mouth. Bosh is a good player, but he hasn't done ANYTHING in his career to be considered a superstar, especially on the level of LeBron & prime Wade

Bosh isn't a superstar type of player. He's the next level under that though in my opinion. He's a very good scorer with a great scoring skillset. He's also a very good rebounder too. But the true superstar type players are at least dominant scorers usually. Or they are dominant all around players who stuff a stat sheet. Or they are so dominant in intangibles like Stockton or Rodman. But with that said, Bosh has a very good chance to make the HOF. The only players with a better resume than him in his era are guys who are likely top 10 GOAT players at their respective positions. Bosh has had an outstanding career in my book so far. It's just not EPIC like his guys Bron and Wade!

All the proof you need that All Star selections don't mean jack!
If Bosh was in the West he might not have any All Star selections.

So are you admitting that compared to the West, the Eastern conference is a pile of shit? Which goes against everything you've said about the East in the past

[G-train]

Bosh was a 22/10 player for 5 years at the Raptors, he was a star in the NBA and got numerous max offers.

I don't know where you have been for 4 years, but he has playing third wheel behind 2 dominant ball handling guards getting 25% less shots.
In doing that, he went to the finals 4 times and won twice.
This season he will average over 20 points a game, on great %'s and with his now high level defence.

I would go as far to say that EVERY team in the NBA would want Chris Bosh.
An elite high post and turn and face low post player with legit 3 point range, with good D, on top of being a great team mate and leader.
The selflessness he displayed in Miami is extremely rare in the NBA.

Melo

Only on ISH is a player considered a superstar that won only 3 playoff games total in 7 years, and as the main dude on a team in the East.

The problem is that the term superstar has a different meaning depending on who you ask.

No, the West is still overrated as shit. However, it happens to be very strong at the PF position, which is why Bosh wouldn't have many selections in that Conference.

[Collie]

This is what Kevin Love will become when he joins the Cavs. Plus more rebounding.

[G.O.A.T]

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.

[Roundball_Rock]

He was never considered a "superstar" until 2010 when the media wanted to promote the "Big 3" narrative. Today does anyone consider him a superstar? Even LeBron haters, now that LeBron has left, are no longer calling him a superstar. There is a thread on top 20 players and no one said Bosh was snubbed from that list. Yet the media, LeBron detractors were referring to him as a superstar just last month.

[Derka]

Melo and Chris Paul?

[LBJFTW]

Horace Grant?

This guy thinks that anyone ever considered Grant a superstar.

Dude was a role player.
