Retired NBA star Chris Bosh has had the pleasure of winning two titles alongside LeBron James during their days together with the Miami Heat.

Seeing his former teammate now one win away from getting another championship at the expense of their old franchise, Bosh lamented on what really makes LeBron James a one-of-a-kind player and person.

“One of the best teammates I've ever had. Not even hard to answer, hands down,” Bosh described James in an interview with NBA TV prior to tip-off of Game 5 between the Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

“It's the little things that he really understands. Everyone always sees the extraordinary things he can do on the floor. When you strip it all away and look at the intangibles he brings to the game.”

The 11-time NBA All-Star claimed that despite James' larger-than-life status, he really makes an effort to just be “one of the guys.” The King reportedly does so much off the court away from the public eye.

“I hope that people really see in his greatness is that he's great at bringing people together,” Bosh added.

Here's the full interview.

LeBron James' physical gifts, of course, have been apparent since he first came into the NBA as a high school phenom in 2003. It's his incredible basketball IQ and the cerebral way he approaches each game that has made him one of the best players of all-time.

Chris Bosh can certainly attest to this when he and James agreed to take their talents to South Beach in 2010 to form that deadly “Heatles” trio with Dwyane Wade.
