Chris Bosh is one of the eligible candidates for the Hall of Fame Class of 2020 and Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra couldn't be any happier.

Bosh, who had to end his playing career prematurely due to blood clots, will easily be a first-ballot Hall of Famer:

Bosh made the All-Star team for 11 straight years. He was the fourth overall pick in the legendary 2003 draft.

In 893 games with the Toronto Raptors and Heat, Bosh averaged 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks 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.

Bosh was a walking double-double in his days with the Raptors. The lefty had to sacrifice his game with the Heat because of LeBron and Wade, but he was still an elite performer in South Beach.

The Heat retired Bosh's No. 1 jersey last season. Bosh made a joke during his speech about beating Wade to the punch. Wade, of course, will get his No. 3 jersey retired by the Heat.

It's sad Bosh had to end his career early, but the most important thing is that he's healthy and living a great life with his family.
