Former Miami Heat star Chris Bosh says he's “proud” of what he was able to accomplish in his NBA career.
Bosh, who had to end his playing career prematurely due to blood clots, says his contributions with the Toronto Raptors and Heat will “live on forever.”
“The story’s there. I was able to have big moments,” Bosh told David Ramil of Forbes. “The proof is in the work, even if it takes time for people to understand. … If people wanna dive into it, they can. They can dissect it. I’m proud of it. It’ll live on forever.”
The fourth overall pick in the legendary 2003 draft, Chris Bosh averaged 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in his career with the Raptors and Heat while shooting 49.4 percent from the field, 33.5 percent from beyond the arc and 79.9 percent from the free-throw line.
Bosh won two championships with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the Heat. Along with being an 11-time All-Star, Bosh made the All-NBA team in 2007 and was on the All-Rookie team in 2004.
It’s say to safe Bosh will be a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer one day. This is a guy who was a walking double-double in his days with the Raptors, then morphed into a prototype modern-day big man with Miami. Though the lefty had to sacrifice his game with the Heat because of LeBron and Wade, he was still an elite performer in South Beach.
The Heat retired Bosh's No. 1 jersey this past season.
