Miami Heat: Chris Bosh Is A Hall Of Famer, Partly, Because He Had A Ton Of Game

Here is a taste of what Bosh offered during his Heat tenure. Surely, it was the peak of his powers as a pro.

He had the coordination to hit you with a move from the three-point line, the “pump and go” for example and then also had enough giddy up to throw it down, being a near seven-footer. He had an open floor explosion that he wasn’t supposed to have for a guy that size either.

He could, obviously, knock down the three-ball and in huge moments if need be. He also still did all the things that you needed your big to do, playing tough defense, setting the tone at the rim on both sides, and hitting the boards like a giant.

This phrase tells that story. “Rebound Bosh… back out to Allen… his three-pointer… Bang!”, as the now-famous and epic Mike Breen call goes.

His defensive prowess even extended to the perimeter as well, making key plays out there when they were needed, such as a key block or so during a Finals run. The man was just good.
