Before joining the ranks of basketball legends in Springfield, Chris Bosh reflected on his stellar career with the Miami Heat in an emotional tweet.
Big shots. Big blocks. Big wins. We hung banners and took home titles for the city of Miami. In the process, I made brothers for life.
While Bosh had his best individual seasons as the leader of the Toronto Raptors, the success he enjoyed in Miami should easily top his stint in the north.
In six seasons for the South Beach squad, the 11-time All-Star averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. He was one of the main cogs of the franchise's four-straight NBA Finals run that resulted in back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013.
Chris Bosh joined the Heat in 2011. And despite being in his prime, the fourth overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft accepted a lesser role behind LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
There would be no championships during their Big 3's time had Bosh not made the sacrifice. Without a doubt, he is a true winner and a great teammate. Bosh was supposed to take on a larger role after the departure of James. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with an illness that cut short his career.
He will be joining Paul Pierce, Chris Webber, Toni Kukoc, Ben Wallace, Rick Adelman, Bill Russell (as coach), and nine others to comprise the Hall of Fame class of 2021.
Bosh will be presented by former teammate Ray Allen and Heat executive Pat Riley.
