Chris Bosh: ‘I Want to Be the Best Player in the NBA’


Chris Bosh is this month’s subject in the always-amusing “What I’ve Learned” feature in Esquire, and the Miami Heat forward drops some pretty fantastic (mostly hilarous) quotes: “Spending is the easiest thing in life. You give me $100 million and I can spend it in twenty-four hours. You think I’m playing? I’m not playing. People can’t fathom it. But going broke is the easiest thing ever. Money requires a lot of attention … You might want to cut off some shorts and wear them with some boots and a cool shirt. That’s fashion, because it’s what you want to do. People can laugh at it, but you have to be like, ‘This is cool. I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ Next thing you know, people will be saying, That is kind of cool, man … It’s not hard to imitate a used-car salesman if you grow up watching television in Dallas … I still have the element of surprise. They don’t expect me to do what I’m going to do next year … I want to be the best player in the NBA. Maybe not this year or the year after next, but one day…’”

    I’ll concede on LA but amare two years ago his numbers are similiar maybe a rebound less. I just feel I want a pf who is going to the rim hard instead of shutting majority of jumpshots, it still puts him at 5 or 6 if you take him over amare. As for KG he gives the team something the other superstars dont, a backbone he solidifies them on defense, makes them believe they can get those crucial stops, i just try to take in to account what he does as a player beyond the numbers, I think they both have good numbers but KG gives his team more, like getting Powe to over perform making Perkins give 110% stuff like that. good players will get theirs great players make players around them better.

    NBK i did read your statement i read everybodies statements, you have no response to the fact that Amare has averaged more blocks per game than Bosh for his career so it’s impossible to say Bosh is better. Yes I’m being totally biased as well lol

    Justin G. i know but he was souping him up like he’s a shot blocker when he’s really not.

    If you read my statement You wouldn’t need me to respond to your ignorant statement. “Bosh also protects the rim better than Amar’e, he doesn’t do it by blocking as many shots, but he rotates WAY more efficiently, he is willing to take charges more than once a month or seven.” – now back to claiming to know and do things you don’t do.
