This is a pretty stupid time to start a knock Bosh thread. OP obviously doesn't follow the NBA. I guess he totally missed Bosh trouncing the OKC frontcourt on the road, and totally outlaying Aldridge this week. Here's a glimpse (since you don't follow the sport):
Bosh against Aldridge and the Blazers, going 32 pts 11 rebounds, multiple blocks, on 13/16 shooting:

Bosh against Aldridge and the Blazers, going 32 pts 11 rebounds, multiple blocks, on 13/16 shooting:
1. He's been healthy
2. He's been consistent
3. He came in the league and was able to be successful at a young age (he was a legitimate first option by age 21 in Toronto)
I see no problem with him having 8 all-star appearances.
Something wrong with that picture. That's as many as Kidd, more than Nash, webber. He's gonna have like 13 all stars in his career. He's good but not that good.
If he had played in the West he would have 3 or 4 at this point IMO... Either way the all star game does not measure the quality of a player. Pippen only made the all star game 7 times..
Bosh is great. What the fvck are you talking about?
8 in 10 years is a lot for him. He's not elite. People try to hold the lack of all-star games against Kevin Johnson and Bosh has 5 more selections...Bosh is not as good as KJ. He only has 1 All-NBA selection, but still...Deron Williams got a BS selection last year and only has 3.
It's a combination of playing in the Leastern Conference and statpadding on a bad team for most of of his career. He really doesn't deserve anywhere near 8 all-star selections but Toronto has a rabid fanbase that likes to elevate decent players into all-stars by overrating them to high hell.

Chris Bosh and Vince Carter represent 90%+ of the Raptors all star history.
Did people forget how bosh used to play in Toronto? Dude was a beast.
Chris Bosh and "beast" don't belong in the same sentence. I remember Shaq routinely clowning him in his Toronto days. Shaq described Bosh perfectly here:
“Some guys come into the league without a ton of props, so there’s not a whole lot of pressure on them. Then they sign a big deal and all of a sudden they’re thrown into the spotlight. Chris Bosh is like that. He’s getting all this attention, so he starts believing he’s really good. C’mon now. We know better. He’s a player who can put up some numbers, but he’s not an elite player. He was in Toronto eight years and they were never a factor, never a playoff team. Don’t get with those other two guys and start pounding your chest. I ain’t buying it, and I’m not the only one.”
