Miami Heat: Top 5 Chris Bosh moments as Heat retire his jersey
1. Bang!
It was the infamous rebound and assist in this Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. You really thought it was going to be something else?
Every Heat fan remembers this moment: The yellow rope was already on the court, which means a celebration is coming. The game wasn’t over, yet some Heat fans already headed to the exits.
For the second time in three years, the opposing team was about the win the NBA Championship on the Heat’s home floor, but not so fast, after LeBron hit a 3-pointer with 20 seconds left in the fourth, it was 94-92 San Antonio. Kawhi Leonard was fouled and split both free throws. Then the ensuing possession happened: LeBron misses the three, Bosh fights and get the rebound and finds Ray Allen backpedaling and puts up a three.
BANG! Tied game! The rebound and three will forever live in Heat history and is the main reason why Bosh’s jersey will be in the rafters. He sacrificed the most out of the big three and is a Heat legend forever. And while Ray Allen gets a lot of love for this shot, it couldn’t have been possible without the efforts from Bosh on this play, which pretty much mirrors the type of effort he gave as the third star in a Miami Heat jersey.
Long live Bosh!
