Chris Bosh says it would be “pretty cool” if the Toronto Raptors retired his No. 4 jersey one day.
Bosh played the first seven years of his NBA career with the Raptors. He left Toronto in the summer of 2010 to sign with the Miami Heat.
Bosh averaged 20.2 points and 9.4 rebounds in 893 games with the Raptors and was a five-time All-Star.
“You know, it’s a thought,” Bosh told Michael Lee of The Athletic. “They’re the ones that make those decisions and everything. But that’d be pretty cool.
“I think I’ve got a couple of franchise records that might not be broken. DeMar (DeRozan) came in and, boy, oh, boy, I said, ‘Yeah, I don’t stand a chance.’ He came in averaging 26 points a game, I said, yeah, I don’t stand a chance. I never got that high.”
Bosh is the Raptors franchise leader in rebounds, blocks and rebounds per game. He's second in total points with 10,275. DeRozan is first, as the small forward scored 13,296.
Bosh won two championships with the Heat. His career ended in 2016 after his blood clots came back. The Heat retired Bosh's No. 1 jersey earlier this season. The 11-time All-Star will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer one day.
When Bosh was drafted fourth overall by the Raptors in the 2004 Draft, no one really cared about the team.
Bosh made Raptors basketball fun with his stellar play.
