Chris Bosh is Certain He’s a Hall of Famer

never quite understood why people in their minds lowered Bosh to Desagana Diop’s status when he signed with Miami.. guess its the Raptors fans who hates on him mostly tho

In other news, Barry Bonds was seen stalking Cooperstown.

This is what we will say every time someone says something about being in the hall lol.

Reggie’s entrance CLEARLY lowers the bar for what qualifies as a Hall of Fame resume.

Exactly. An unfounded reputation and word of mouth. Know who else had some awesome moments? Mike Bibby. Robert Horry. Rashard Lewis. However, these guys aren’t going to sniff the Hall because the media doesn’t love them the way they loved Reggie. Why? I don’t know, cause it sure as hell wasn’t his stats, accolades, or talent.

Or accomplishments.

Good player, but I can’t see him a hall-of-famer. He was the man on a team that had no other option but him, but now he’s a first tier role player at most. He deserves to have his jersey retired by the Raps since he leads the team in almost every all time statistical category, but that’s it.

1. No rings. Never made the Finals.
2. Never made All-NBA First Team. Never made All-NBA Second Team. Only 3 All-NBA Third Team selections in 18 seasons. That means he was the third best at his position for less than 17% of his career.
3. Career averages of 18-3-3. That’s comparable to Jamal Crawford or Jason Terry.
4. Under 40% career 3PT shooter. For a guy who’s famous for ONE thing, he’s not great at it.
5. He was NOT clutch. This is the biggest lie ever pitched to the NBA watching public. http://www.behindthebasket.com/btb/2011/3/29/reggie-miller-is-not-a-hofer-part-2-the-clutch-myth.html

Enjoy.

Improve your reading comprehension. I said all 3 of those guys had awesome moments. They do. Please, show me where I said Reggie’s career is equivalent to any of them. I’d be FASCINATED to know.

Oh man, do you see the irony of your comment?

I stopped reading after this fool said Reggie Miller never made it to the finals LMFAO! This fool doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’m done.

Well,,,,,if Chris Mullin made it, I don’t see why not.

How about you make a compelling argument then? If it’s so easy, I’d LOVE to hear it.

So in your mind, a star is a star and everyone else is a role player or below? Just because a player has a role doesn’t mean he’s a ROLE player. Bosh is a star for the Heat. He impacts the game a LOT and he’s become precisely the floor-stretching star bigman that the Heat expected at its onset. From ’05-’09, Bosh had definite HOF numbers. Combine that with the fact that Bosh WILL be remembered in history by current basketball fans and he’s going into the Hall. He may not be a first-ballot pick, but he’s definitely going to get in, esp. w/ that 8th All-Star selection.

As said before, that was my mistake. I forgot the 2000 Finals where they lost 4-2. And as noted, that is straw man fallacy. The odds of you knowing what that means is probably lower than Reggie’s shooting percentages.

or perhaps lower than your knowledge of basketball history? shooting 39.5 percent from three during a career that was based on shooting a lot of 3′s is not bad at all. he is 2nd all time now in 3′s made and to do it at that clip is impressive. unless you don’t know basketball.

all that is fine and dandy. But u forget my point that he did it in the toughest Era to play in. Do you know who his competition was at the Sg spot? There were lots of real good Sg’s in the 90′s. Its not liek today where its a pretty watered down position. His career stats arent MIND boggling, but he deserves his spot. And to say Reggie wasnt a great shooter is ridiculous imo. But i guess this whole point is objective

his last season in Toronto he averaged 24-11 shooting 52% in case anyone was wondering

Caboose you’re awesome..but you forget Miller is a legendary 3 point shooter. HoF is for Legends, which he clearly is. He dominated his position with regards to his 3 point shooting. He’s a shooting guard..so yes he deserved HoF.

Bosh in no way has dominated his position, 1 that is very competitive & hard to dominate. Is Bosh’s career better? In terms of winning a ring & carrying a team yes. In terms of success at a position to the degree of top tier? You can argue for it but definitely not 1 of the greatest.

List them. So far you’re arguing pure opinion with nothing concrete to support it.

Dominated his position when? Jordan dominated Reggie’s position. Kobe tookover after Jordan. Not to mention AI, who was playing Sg for the end of Reggie’s career. Vince at the time was heating up as well.

At 3 pt. shooting, learn to read please.

2nd best 3 point shooter.

So again, learn to read & then learn to shut up.

Ah, I didn’t realize entertainment value was so important. Let’s get Robert Sacre and Brian Scalabrine in, posthaste!

Well see dominating his position would indicate getting a couple All NBA team nods. Granted, 1st is likely out cause of Jordan, but he only got 3 All NBA Team selections, and they were all 3rd team. Not to mention 5 All Star appearances out of 18 seasons. Is that dominating his position? No. What is “dominating” is getting selected to the All Star Team for 80% of your career. That implies that you outshine 95% of all other players at your position for the vast majority of your career. Granted, All Star isn’t everything. But look at Bosh’s stats. His best year was 24-11-2 on 52% FG and 36% 3PT. Compared to Reggie’s best year of 25-4-3 on 51% FG and 41% 3PT. Granted, yes they are close. But I haven’t even started on defense.
