Former Miami Heat star, Chris Bosh will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on September 11, 2021. Bosh played six unforgettable seasons with the Heat.

During those years, he had some iconic moments, both on and off the court. Before his induction, let’s take a moment to remember some of the greatest moments Chris Bosh brought us during his career with the Heat.

Accolades

Bosh quickly made an impact on the Heat after his acquisition in 2010. United with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Bosh helped form the Big 3. For the next four years, the Miami Heat would be one of the most dominant teams of all time.

Bosh helped lead the franchise to four consecutive NBA Finals appearances and two NBA titles. He was selected as an All-Star for all six seasons with the Miami Heat.

He averaged 18 points and 7.3 rebounds per game as a member of the Miami Heat. His numbers don’t lie.

Miami Heat champion and legend, Chris Bosh will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame soon. Let’s remember some of his best moments.

He has a Hall Of Fame Resume.

Entertainment

Let’s face it, the NBA would be nothing without its fans. The players provide the entertainment and in return, the fans provide their views and crowd energy.

Chris Bosh certainly gave fans a lot to cheer about during his time with Miami. On top of that, he was also one of the funniest and most entertaining players in the league.

Chris was famous for his interview “photobombs”. His ability to put a smile on everyone’s face made him fun to watch on and off the floor, probably also helping to boost team morale.

Of course, it’s fun to joke around when you are winning as many games as Bosh and the Heat were!

Big Moments

Chris Bosh was a star in his role. This means that he understood his role and perfected it.

When his number was called, he nearly always showed up, especially in the clutch. In Game Four against the Celtics in 2011, Bosh scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and had the tip-in that sealed the deal against the mighty Celtics.

The Heat would go on to win the series 4-1. Bosh’s most iconic moment would have to be his 2013 NBA Finals performance in Game 6.

Late in the game, Bosh gave Heat fans some unforgettable moments. Snagging the offensive rebound over the San Antonio Spurs defense, he then kicked the ball out to Ray Allen, who drilled the three pointer that tied the game and sent it into overtime.

In overtime, Bosh delivered on the defensive end, blocking both Tony Parker and Danny Green to seal the victory and force a Game Seven. Without Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat would have, at least, one less NBA title.

Legacy

Chris Bosh was one of the greatest players to ever wear a Miami Heat jersey. The fans of Miami should feel very grateful for his contributions to the franchise.

His induction into the Basketball Hall Of Fame was well deserved. Congratulations, CB!
