18/8 maximum for the rest of his career as a poor man's Rodman = better chance than 24/11 for maybe 7 prime years?
Definitely a HOFer. He's the only living Velociraptor to date. National treasure tbh.

PFs in recent years who are borderline HoF guys, but will get in before Bosh:
Chris Webber
Shawn Kemp
Pau Gasol
PFs who are similar to Bosh's chances of making HoF (these may be players who were rated lower because they didn't get to ring-chase with Lebron James, but they were, at least at some points in their career, better than or equal to Bosh at his best, and I doubt any of them can make the HoF):
Larry Johnson
Antonio McDyess
Jermaine O'Neal
Elton Brand
Carlos Boozer
Zach Randolph
PFs who will likely have a better chance to get in HoF than Bosh:
Blake Griffin
LaMarcus Aldridge
Kevin Love
Yes, especially since he would've never won a playoff series while in Toronto.
He averaged 24 PPG once on Toronto and never averaged 11 boards, so idk where the scenario that he'd average 24/11 for 7 years came from. His averages were closer to 22/10.
And yeah, putting up 18/8 on a team that wins multiple championships is a more impressive HOF resume than 22/10 (0r 24/11) on a team that barely makes/misses the playoffs every year.
Are you sure? This is the Eastern Conf. we're talking about.
Going to Miami was better for his chances ...
But come on, if he is a HOF AT THIS STAGE much less 4 years ago then CWebb and Kemp (like amb said earlier ...gosh he and I are agreeing again ...wtf?!) should be shoo-ins ...
Player (per 36min - Career) PPG RPG BPG APG Duncan 20.6 11.5 2.3 3.1 Garnett 19 10.4 1.5 3.9 Amare 22.5 9.1 1.5 1.5 Bosh 19.4 8.9 1.1 2.1
I dont know if this guy is or isnt a HOF, but the fact that he says he is, is disturbing...
HOF is so easy to get into. bosh will probably make it in.
I agree with Bosh...He's Hall of Fame Material and he has a ring....Bosh > Pau all day long....Lebron needs these kind of players to take him to that next level....Kobe won back to back without HOF players...Bynum had knees and we all know Pau won't get in...
the only HOF player that Kobe rang with is Shaq...Lebron needed 2 - Wade and Bosh..what a sucker manwhat a sucker
HOFer to me must at least have 4 in this list.
MVP of some sort (All Star doesn't count)

Outstanding rebounding numbers (career totals)

Wrong... he took some absolute scrubs to the Finals and numerous 60-win seasons in Cleveland....
Pau has a very good chance at getting in once you factor in his international career, as well as his performance in carrying Kirby on his back to two rings and getting none of the credit, tbh...Kobe won back to back without HOF players... Bynum had knees and we all know Pau won't get in...
There's something wrong with you man. You need to see a psychiatrist of some sort. Gasol is a HOF'er.
HOF'er criteria by fans has changed dramatically throughout the years. I remember then players that totally shaped the game were the only candidates. Kareem, Jordan, Pippen, Olajuwon, Rodman, Bird, Magic, Dr. J for examples are the golden standard of what a HOF should be made of.
Now we have people saying Vince Carter, Bosh, Webber, Kemp, Ray Allen as HOF worthy? What the is this?
In this generation, you can only name a few HOF'er that really belongs in this list.
1.Duncan
2.Kobe
3.Garnett
4.Shaq
5.Yao
6.Manu
7.P. Gasol
8. Lebron
9. Pierce
10. Dirk
11. Wade
The rest are pretenders.
Kind of like Tony Parker likely now making the hall of fame being the third best player on a team that won multiple championships, behind Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Very good player, but probably not hall of fame on his own.
YAO?
Not sure if srs.
Yao is a Hof like it or not. He was Jeremy Lin x 10 in both impact and performance. No one in China even knew what a basketball is. He simply helped the league gain worldwide exposure that hasnt been done since Jordan played for the Bulls.
Jumped the Shark Two Years Ago_Man; Lebron takes others to the next level with him, unlike Kobe who's team cannot win unless he stops shooting.
^only in the minds of those who aspire to compete in the special Olympics....
listen son you need to recognize....round here they call me Koolchango...
CP3 may be in the HOF but he doesn't have the credentials yet.
People have selective memories or are simply too young to comprehend. Understandably, he had a short lived career but Yao was bigger than anybody else both in stature and cultural brand.
After Yao became the Rockets center, companies competed with each other to build a partnership with NBA. In the history of Chinese sports, there had never been a person as successful as Yao Ming. Because of Yao Ming, NBA has built a strongest cultural bond with China that has never been seen in other markets, and China has become the largest foreign market for the NBA.
Forbes came out with an estimate amount of money Yao has helped brought to the league. It was easily around the $650 million mark.

^ puh-lease go sell that snake oil to someone else..that (as the best baller alive and the man who owns the NBA) couldn't even take Lauren Perdue to the cafeteria for a ing hamburger, fries, and a shake...![]()

getting to the finals in the east doesn't really count.....he never had to get past the Stacked Suns, Mavs, or Spurs Dynasty
He's played only 4 season of which he played 60 or more games. Being a great ambassador for the game doesn't give you a free pass to the hall. If you're going to allow players like Yao in, then your going to have to build a bigger hall to let in all those players with comparable numbers. He played a total of 486 games in eight seasons.
Btw, Ray Allen definitely makes the hall, not too sure about Manu and Gasol.
It's not really his fault Colangelo surrounded him with bozos like Bustnani and Cal'eron, tbh.
