Chris Bosh is the Big in the ‘Big 3′
Chris Bosh deserves more respect.
Disrespect started when the Miami Heat loss the first game of the 2010-2011 NBA season. From that moment Bosh was an open target for inappropriate nicknames. Skip Bayless called him ‘Bosh-Spice.’ Kevin Durant called him soft and twitter became a 21st century version of hate mail in regard to Bosh.
Rarely mentioned was that he was the number one option for the Toronto Raptors averaging 24 points per game, and 10.8 rebounds per game his last year with the team. Not to mention his lowest scoring average after his first two seasons was 22.3 points per game, and his lowest rebounding average after his first two seasons was 8.7 rebounds per game. He was also a five time All-star and Gold medal winner before moving to South Beach.
He decided to chase championships with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade which means he would see the ball less and become the third wheel. In no way is that soft. It shows his mental toughness to sacrifice his own name in order to gain the ultimate prize.
He played well during the 2011 Eastern conference Finals and made the game-winning shot in game 3 of the 2011 NBA Finals.
Then after an injury that sidelined him for most of the postseason, came back in the2012 Eastern Conference Finals and made big three pointers and played center for Miami helping them reach the NBA Finals. He averaged 14.6 points per game, 9.4 rebounds per game, and 1.2 blocks per game during the 2012 NBA Finals.
He is the big in the ‘Big 3.’
