No, I'm f-ing joking. Can't you see my sarcasm. Its been established that Bosh is an accomplished outside shooter. He'd proven so many times over and over again that it'd be perposterous for anyone to even think that he doens't have a consistent outside jumper.
He practically invesnted the jumper - or at least perfected it.
He will dominate international competition with his abiity to step out to 15 feet and knock it down with not only consistency, but authority.
Good article. In case it needed saying he did not say these players are equal to each other. He simply is trying to find who the players could best be compared to.

I'm not sure what to think here. Bosh can hit 18-20 footers very consistently and I'm pretty sure that's what the Euro Basketball 3 pt range is.
Now - I'm not an idiot and I don't pretend that is representative of Bosh's whole season, I'm sure he had some games hwere he knocked down every 15 footer and some games where he missed them.
I'm just saying, his ability to knowck down a perimeter jumper is questionable, but Ewing and D.Rob absolutely could.
Zaza it's definitely not questionable. Just because he doesn't shoot 80% every single game doesn't mean it's not a definite strength of his game. The difference between Bosh being Jared Jeffries and who he is now, is that automatic midrange shot, and a healthy dose of confidence.
Based on the fact that he was automatic in every game I've watched from him this year, and Raptor fans all say the same thing, and how else do you think he scores? He can't post up. He's too skinny.
Here's one where Bosh had a massive game - 27points, 11 for 20 shooting. He hit under 50% from outside. And you see all those little nibblers, just a step outside the paint, the ones he hit - those are inside the pain in int'l and the 3 sec. violation will get to him.
...but hey if Raptor fans say he is a great outside shooter, then he must be.

Every player hits less than 50% of their jumpshots.
I didn't know that.
I have read that Bosh is a GREAT outside shooter, and I'm being a dumbass to even question his ability to shoot from the outside. I figure a great outside shooter, that is beyond reproach,except by dumbasses, would be "automatic" as some have said - and wouldn't have games where he just plain misses alot of his outside shots.
The Laker game cited by the supporter above has him missing 5 of 11 from the outside. Wow - cracked that 50% marker. That's some GREAT outside shooting. Only a dumbass would poke holes in that.
From that website, 62% of Bosh's shots were jumpshots and he shot 50.5% over the course of the season taking that many jumpshots. How is that not a good shooter?...Anybody that has watched Bosh play knows that he's a good shooter. You just confirmed that you don't watch any games.
