Despite not seeing action in the NBA for two seasons, Chris Bosh made it known that he is still not giving up on returning to playing basketball at the highest level. The former 11-time All-Star said recently said that he believes that remains a possibility for him, and is asking the basketball world not to write him off just yet.

Bosh’s statement was made during an interview on The Full 48 podcast hosted by Bleacher Report’s Howard Beck, where he clarified that he is not officially done, and that he is unsure when that day will come. He then added that he continues to work out to stay in shape, including some drills on the basketball court.

“That’s still there in front of me,” Bosh said. “The window is still open. Once I close the doors, it’s closed. I don’t open it back up. That’s kind of me as a human being. That’s just one of the things about me. … But yeah, for me, I don’t close anything until I’m officially done. So until that day, I will definitely let everybody know when that day comes, if it comes soon.”

“I still, of course, work out and everything. I’m still doing work on the court. That’s very important to me. I’m still keeping my options open for the future. I know a lot of people don’t know that, but don’t write me off just yet.”

The 33-year-old Georgia tech product last played in the NBA in the 2015-16 season for the Miami Heat, where he has spent the last six years of his career. He won two titles with them in 2012 and 2013, being part of South Beach’s “Big 3” era with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. However, he was forced to be sidelined as blood clots were once again found in his body, and he had to receive treatment.

Bosh has said multiple times in the past that he still wants to play in the NBA, but it remains to be seen how his body will respond, as the league will not allow him to play on blood thinners. It is very understandable that they are thinking of his well-being first, but with the belief he has in himself, anything is still possible, and Bosh can beat the odds if he’ll ever suit up for an NBA team again.
