Heat: Bosh: I've been a Hall of Famer like four years ago

[ambchang]

Surprised if Bosh ever makes it. he made the all-nba 2nd team once when he was still with the Raptors, and that is a pretty thin resume.

Other 3rd wheel on modern era championship teams (don't count those Celtics teams where you can get to the 8th wheel) to get in the HoF, off the top of my head are:

James Worthy (All NBA 3rd team twice, Finals MVP, 3 championships)
Robert Parish (2nd team once, 3rd team once, 3 championships, well four if you count the Bulls one)
Dennis Johnson (all d team 9 times, all nba 1st team once, 2nd team once, 3 championships, once as a top dog)
Rodman (All D team 8 times, all nba 3rd team twice, insane rebounding numbers, led the league 7 years in a row, DPoY, 5 championships)

There are probably more, but all these guys resume trump Bosh's by quite a bit.

If Bosh makes it why not Zach R and Rasheed

LOL @ Sheed and Zach Randolph. Both have the physical/skill talent, but lack the credentials and on the mental side.

What people are REALLY missing at Bosh is that he is very efficient as a 3rd option while playing out of position.
In the system played by Miami it's no wonder he gets no boards because
- on the offensive side he pops alot to make room for lecrab and dfraud to drive.
- on the defensive side he is the single one with length and he needs to be a rim defender, combined with the fact that he is one of the best PNR defenders in this league at the 4. Add to that the fact that joel stone hands anthony and dexter hungry man don't know what boxing out means and it's very clear.
Super versatile offensively, system independent player, excellent footwork/mobility for a big, can play high/low, pnr, iso, even 3ball.

Other things people miss at Bosh.
- Bosh is also very clutch especially when needed... check h2h vs dwight, playoffs, 2011, olympics, etc. Quiet dude gets the job done on both sides of the floor not like Bible kemp. Sure when playing mainly as a shooter he is prone to bad shooting nights but it comes with the MIA system.
- Bosh is very very versatile, on a single posession he can check alot of people very decently, especially when committed.
- good mental aspect of the game .. even if the stats are not on the sheet sometimes never seen him check out like Randolph , griffin , love, sheed or alot of others. This guy didn't get frustrated by yao at the olympics when bible was racking fouls like illegitimate children. Didn't get frustrated by bible's elbows in h2h. Didn't give a about the rupaul story.

Bosh is a winner sons, make no mistake about it. He also got ... unique swag
Sure he's no jim duncan but he's been consistantly a top 5 big in the league and he's got the type of game that will let him easily play into his 30s.

btw LOL @ people saying he wasn't better than Amare in 2010

as far as I'm concerned Bosh is a 1st ballot HOF'er....

[Koolaid_Man]

when Miami divided up the money they signed all 3 of them s to about 15 mil each...that means they're all franchise players with each bringing something different to the table.

[Koolaid_Man]

Lebron needed 2 HOF'ers at the same time to ring in his prime..that's it and that's all

[Grit and Grind]

Bosh isn't even close to 2010 Amare GET REAL !!

[ambchang]

Derrick mckey and detlef schremph were versatile 3rd options as well. So?

[FYM]

4 years ago bosh was nowhere close to be a hof he was a big stat padding on a ty team

[Ice009]

Bosh can definitely get there in time, but there is still no guarantee that he will. He isn't a HOFer right now, and he sure as wasn't one 4 years ago.
