Chris Bosh - Unbelievably Underrated Scorer

- Chris Bosh. 2x NBA Champion. 11x NBA All-Star. All-NBA Second Team in 2007. Olympic Gold Medalist with Team USA in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The 5th player to have their number retired by the Miami Heat (joining greats like Alonzo Mourning, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Hardaway, and Michael Jordan (yes, that’s correct, and yes, that IS very weird). People never seemed to appreciate Bosh when they were in the Finals each of his first 4 years in Miami. It was only after LeBron had moved on and his third star (Kevin Love) struggled defensively that people started to really respect exactly what Bosh did. He was the punchline of many a joke, but he sort of made his defenders look like a joke every time he threw up a pump fake. No post game anymore they said? Ask Kevin Garnett the year after he played Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom for the second Finals in 3 years how little of a post game CB had. Ask Blake Griffin. Paul Millsap. DeAndre Jordan. Joakim Noah. Carlos Boozer. Kobe Bryant called Kendrick Perkins the best post defender in the game once upon a time, but he gave him fits too.
He was murder on the pick and roll. He could set a solid screen, then roll hard, or short roll to make a play, or pop out to that in between, or even extend out to shoot 3’s (something that wasn’t all THAT common back then). If either LeBron or Wade struggled, he stepped up. There was never a moment Chris wasn’t ready for.
Phenomenal footwork. Ambidextrous finisher. Sweet shooting. Unselfish with the rock. Willing defender. Chris is unbelievably underrated. He was a CAREER 19.2 points per game on 49.4% from the field and 79.9% from the line. To say nothing of his 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game, according to Basketball Reference, players with careers similar to quality and shape of were Otis Thorpe, Alex English, Elvin Hayes, LaMarcus Aldridge, Rasheed Wallace, Larry Nance, Dominique Wilkins, Buck Williams, Bobby Jones, and Horace Grant.
Of that group, only three players outscored Chris for their careers. Dominique at 24.8 points per game, Alex English at 21.5 ppg, and Elvin Hayes at 21.0. Of those three, only Elvin has won a championship (singular). Again, of that group, only Horace Grant has more rings (4), but he was a career 11.2 points per game. Another reasonable comp is a contemporary of Chris’: Pau Gasol. 2 NBA championships. Three straight finals in three seasons. A career 17.0 points per game.
Credit to Chris for not calling it quits because of a potentially career ending injury. He played his last game in 2016, but didn’t stop fighting for his dream to return to the court until 3 years after that.

People forget chris bosh and kevin love were franchise stars before taking a backseat
or maybe we just didn't care lol
Both
With Bosh yes, but with k-love he just lost too much weight to be good in the post like he was in Minnesota.
AnonYmouSchris19 no be lost that weight because lebron wanted him to change his play style and he was always a defensive liability he has never had good lateral quickness
@@RBOpoohworsttrue
Chris bosh was the prototype. A PF that could be agile like a shooting guard and play great defense. I wished he could’ve finished his career but he won two chips off of his talent. He matters so much to todays game. Giannis should work with him
Chris Bosh is my all time favorite Power Forward, followed by Anthony Davis.
Very underrated.
unguardable when healthy
I loved watch Bosh when bron & wade sat out . He would torch teams by himself 🔥
The type of player that you can’t even complain about their size
He cooked KG so many times
hes the perfect player to make kg come out the paint..bosh was afraid to go inside much vs him or play in the post/back to basket but he brought kg outside to mid range and three point line...
Evan mobley
One of the best bigs of the modern era. Inside, outside, defence, he could do it all
in his last few games you could see he couldnt hustle on defense anymore but around this moment in his career, when he was healthy - he moved his feet well and played alot of his games. the man was reliable. imagine comparing AD to Bosh? who would dare to say such a thing!
The x factor for those heat runs
i mean they had halsem bosh for 2 years and no other bigs that could score with joel anthony playing huge minutes..turiaf played a small bit in 2012...bosh was the only player on the roster over 6'9 that played in playoff minutes for 2 years on the roster...and hes not even a full 6'10 without shoes so...thats why he wore down...
sucks that nobody really plays like this anymore
Beacsue of these fucking nerds ruining the game with their "advanced stats" have made taking mid range jumpers a sin.
so tru
Yung Beezy What are you talking about? Ever heard of Al Horford?
Bishop Wilson 🙄🙄 You're an idiot dude
Max Durk mans on his last contract I’m sure he’s talking about new players in the league no need to call names tough guy
Wade and LeBron got all the love Bosh was left out of the convo alot he's very underrated was a franchise player for the raptors
He stepped up big time in 2014 when wade was dealing with injuries and was a non factor but the heat had no true big men so he had to play center he’s one of the most skilled powe forwards ever
Definitely paying the price for the “Lebron affect” everyone severely underrates ppl who played with Lebron. Unstoppable on the block and way better defender than given credit for
the thing with bsoh is everyone knows hes talented af...for sure a hall of famer
Miss the Miami Heatles even though I hated them and wanted them to lose
6:55 this dude's iQ is insane.
Only underrated to Bronsexuals, because its all about LeHelp’s stats.
lebron will forever get the hate stain for costing the heat a three peat...they were the best team until june 2014 in the nba for 4 years....trust me...they were built to win..lebron being uncoachable is why they were beatable..he played iso ball which hurts the flow and he stat padded bosh was still a top 12 player in 2011 top 15 in 2012 and top 17 in 2013...he looked so bad cause of bron flat out making him a shooter for driving lanes..bosh in the post is deadly...hes kd size ...why have him shoot threes?....
dude was a hooper, we really had an era of goated big men matching up every playoff series, bosh would line up against KG, Dirk and Duncan like its no biggie
yes, in todays era, bosh would be 1 or 2 power forward every year
Too bad the nba is looking to get rid of post play... i miss this
He is a legit power forward with one of the best post games I have seen. Miami had an option to go small ball with him as an excellent stretch five that is good with 3s. Such a dynamic player and a good defender to boot.
I’m taking Bosh over ad any day we took this guy for granted
Underrated defender too💯
Chris Bosh definitely doesn’t get enough recognition, he was a bucket when he was on Toronto and the heat.
i feel that the heat should've beaten the spurs in end of Lebron run. Only if they kept playing small but coaching staff wanted to run traditional lines and got smoked. like no one could guard both chris or lebron those two demanded a double team at all times.
He was always outmatched by Duncan in the playoffs tho
Glad to see clips of a great modern big being recognized. Bosh was a problem and Wade and James knew it.
Chris Bosh was a certified bucket. His game was guard like in a big mans body. If he didn't have to retire so soon he'd dominate this era dont at me
Bosh > A.D
Facts
love the content man, it would be sweet to see a dejounte murray vid from you
If it's possible, can you do one on Kevin Garnett too? Thanks!
Who's here from Bloshmid?
Thank BSPN
bosh>melo
im not mad at it
Can u do Andrea Bargniani :) I saw him in the video defending Bosh.
Can you please make a mix for Dennis Rodman
Poor mans AD
Except bosh can really carry a team in his raptor days
-Bazz -Drumz- I think AD could have done that and more.
No disrespect to bosh. I will say at least he can make it through a season, unlike AD
Dude.. The only thing that separates them is dribble.. I think youve only seen bosh in heat jerswy
-Bazz -Drumz- nah I loved him in Toronto, I just think AD could do more and get his points easier.
bosh's moves is a lot easier and uses less stamina dude.. changing of pace which is ADs specialty is far more straining than a postup
