Has Chris Bosh ever been a top 10 player in the league?

[SouBeachTalents]

If so, which seasons specifically?

[9erempiree]

Yes, his last two seasons with Toronto.

He was obviously held back with Miami. Bosh needs to be the man for him to succeed. Put him with other stars and he won't be effective.

He wasn't held back, he had plenty of opportunities to face up and take people much slower than him off the dribble, but he refused to in favor of shooting jumpers over people.

According to ISH he's a 25/13 beast waiting to be unleashed

So I'd say top 3

[dubeta]

But seriously he was probably top 15 in Toronto


Then his ranking dropped once he started being allergic to going in the paint

[AnaheimLakers24]

yes. he got bumped out cause of bran

[GrapeApe]

I'd say fringe top ten in 2009 and definitely top ten in 2010. 2011 would have probably been his peak statistical season had he remained in Toronto.

[IncarceratedBob]

Lmao no way. Dude barely been top 20

[Cold soul]

Bosh was probably top 15 in Toronto for few seasons.

[Kblaze8855]

In 10 of his 11 seasons he wasnt even all nba third team. He has one all nba season(second team) and that was 8 years ago.

Even in his much praised 2010 he had the 7th most votes among forwards. Lebron, Durant, Dirk, Melo, Duncan, and Pau all ahead of him. Which still leaves Kobe, Wade, Nash, Deron, Amare, Dwight, Rondo and so on for you to argue who was in the top 10.

In 2008 he was behind 11 forwards alone. In 2009 he was 8th among forwards.


If they stretched the voting that much...last year he would have been on an all NBA 8th team of

Drummond
Bosh
Leonard
Monta ellis
Ty Lawson

Just saying is all.........

We're going to learn a lot about him this year either way.

[Mr. Jabbar]

yes, and lebron f'ed up with him and wade

[IncarceratedBob]

lebron fans: no he wasn't. lebron won rings w/o any other top 10 player

kobe fans: yes he was. lebron had a stacked team and he turned bosh into a spot up shooter.

I dont know what else he has to show.

Anyone thinking hes gonna be some 16/7 guy is greatly underrating what hes capable of. But even if hes a 22/9 guy...im not sure its showing anything we have not seen before.

I predict he has a month or two in the 24-25 range...but Wade kinda takes over the team. 48-54 wins. First or second round loss.

Good season...but nothing to silence anyone or really give ammo to haters either. Just a pretty standard...good bigman year.

Al Jefferson level with a better team.

[bdreason]

The year before joining the Heat, as a #1 option, Bosh was 24/11 on 52% and top 5 in PER.

I agree for the most part, but if he puts up 22/9 on a 50 win team the LeBron haters will be salivating.

[G0ATbe]

He has been for years. He barely ever got a chance to show it in Miami because of LeBald ball, but when he was playing without him he'd usually become a beast again.

Probably. But he put up about that on a 47-49 or so win team with less talent than the current Heat years ago. So tis not like hed be proving something new.

[Legends66NBA7]

Bosh has never been top 10.

Vince Carter is the only Raptor to ever be ranked in the top 10.

[Shep]

no, closest he came was 19th in 2011
