Chris Bosh vs Pau Gasol - who's the better player?

[RRR3]

RRR3 quickly becoming the most sane, non delusional LeBron fan. Congrats, bro.

SouBeachTalents and AJ1987 are Heat fans who still like LeBron as well. They're also pretty realistic about him.

Honestly, I feel it's hard to actually watch enough NBA (all teams and players) to be able to truly compare players optimally. Stats can go a long way, obviously, but stats don't tell you that Richard Jefferson had a massive impact in the 2016 finals, when if you watched, you know that he did.

It's closer than people think

Gasol before Kobe - 1x all-star 0 - 12 in 3 Playoff appearances
Bosh before Lebron - 5x all-star 3 - 8 in 2 Playoff appearances

Bosh in 2010 was averaging 24/11 52%FG, had a 5-year run of averaging 22+ ppg on around 50% shooting

Pau averaged 20 or more ppg twice on same efficiency

Bosh would have been a 20+ ppg scorer until 2015 had he never joined Lebron, who turned him into a spot-up shooter while Pau's ppg stayed the same but his FG% went through the roof thanks to playing on the same team with Kobe.

Pau is more skilled but Bosh is so underrated.. his defense in the 2013 Finals alone puts him in the same tier and his individual production on the Raptors was better than Pau's in Memphis
