“Chicago lost in the first round again, but hoarded cap space for two max-level superstars,” wrote Zach Lowe of ESPN. “LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Wade were free agents. All three met with the Bulls. Noah lobbied Bosh. ‘When Chris came on his visit, I thought it was a done deal,’ Noah says. ‘I thought he’d take Dwyane, and if those two come, we’ll get LeBron.'”

>Pat Riley, ahead of Chris Bosh's Hall of Fame induction, "I do not ever want to run into Shaquille or run into Dwyane or into Magic or Chris somewhere and not be able to go up and give ‘em a hug. That’s not how I’m going to end my career, my life.”
>At 76, Riley said this week that making things right is acutely significant after years of a competitive edge sometimes creating edgy moments.
>With Bosh, it was holding steadfast about not allowing a return by the All-Star forward after a life-threatening second bout with blood clots in the middle of the 2015-16 season. While Bosh’s health was the overriding concern, it also was a time when the Heat were seeking salary-cap relief.
>And, now, Saturday night’s embrace at the game’s shrine in Springfield, Mass.
>“That’s why the fact that he picked me to sort of lead him up that aisle, I’m proud,” Riley said. “I’m so proud that I’m part of the Hall of Fame and that Chris asked me to present him.”
>For Riley, it has been this way for years, making amends on a higher ground. There were the differences with Magic Johnson that led to Riley’s departure as Los Angeles Lakers coach back in 1990, nearly coming to blows with Shaquille O’Neal toward the end of the center’s Heat career, an ugly contract impasse with Dwyane Wade during the 2016 offseason, and just before that, the chill with Bosh.
>“I think all of us, when we get to a certain point in our lives, we want to make things right,” Riley said to the Sun Sentinel. “Chris’ was an entirely different situation because I admired and respected him so much as a player and as a person, and it was such an incredible point in time for me, about Chris’ condition, not about whether he could play or not play for us.
>“Even the thought it might end his career, I took it very seriously during that time and listened to the doctors, talked to all the doctors, and I felt that what we were doing and what I was doing was in the best interest of Chris’ health and his life.
>“And, at the same time, there’s always that caveat that he was going to get paid. Even though that didn’t help him because of the ultra-competitor he was. He wanted to finish his career. He wanted to go out on top, and you don’t get that chance because of illness, it probably leaves a lot of emptiness.”

... keep reading on reddit ➡>Q: What’s the next step for Bam Adebayo?
>Chris: “Shoot it. That’s it. Shoot it. Shoot it. That’s all he needs to do is shoot it, I’m telling you. I did it for 13 years in the league, man, and it didn’t steer me wrong. Shoot it. He has the playmaking ability, he is unselfish. It’s wonderful that he’s a team player. But for him to get to where he wants to go, he’s going to have to shoot the ball. I think he’s more than capable. Once he proves that he’s a threat out there, Brook Lopez and DeAndre Jordan and all those bigs, they can’t just be in the middle of the paint playing traffic cop. He needs to come back and he needs to shoot it until they guard him. That would be my recommendation.”
>Q: You went from a midrange to a three-point shooter during your time with the Heat. What’s that potential transition like for a player like Bam?
>Chris: “It’s just a few steps back. That’s what a coach told me, ‘Yo, don’t let the line get in your head. It’s a couple feet.’ And I think it did take me a couple years to get used to the rhythm of the game shooting it. I would practice it, and then you have to get used to it. Once you develop that habit in practice, then you have to get used to the rhythm in the game. But once you get it, you continue to put the work in and it won’t matter. You’ll continue to be successful. But he needs to shoot it.”
Chris Webber had probably the best peak but lacking accolades Draymond has some of the best accolades and is like a mini rodmanPau and Bosh are incredibly close I could nearly go either way Amar'e and LaMarcus are imo the weakest candidates but still in consideration
For reference in my top 12 pf's I have (not in order) TD, KG, Dirk, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Kevin McHale, Rodman, Elvin Hayes, Bob Pettit, Giannis, Dolph Schayes and Anthony Davis
Edit:
I think I ordered these guys finally (all-time at least)
1.Pau Gasol
2. Chris Webber
3. Draymond Green
4. LaMarcus Aldridge
5. Chris Bosh
6. Amar'e Stoudemire
If I had to do it by skill at their peak
- Chris Webber
- Pau Gasol
- Amar'e Stoudemire
- Draymond Green
- LaMarcus Aldridge
- Chris Bosh (yeah I'm pretty low on Bosh)
Hi everybody! It’s Chris Bosh. The past month has been very exciting: Not only was I honored to be announced as a 2021 inductee to the NBA Hall Of Fame, but earlier this week I released my first book Letters To A Young Athlete. Ask Me Anything!

What Scottie said >@stephenasmith @KingJames won a championship without any help
>With all due respect my brother, that is ridiculous. D-Wade and Chris Bosh (Miami), Kyrie and Kevin Love (Cleveland) and Anthony Davis (Lakers). WTH is the matter with you? You know basketball. You’re a 6-time champion. How can you utter such Blasphemy?
>2016 Finals my man… which other star was out there with LeBron? @stephenasmith
>I already told you, Man! Who the hell is Kyrie Irving to you? Slava Medvedenko?
>I’m too focused on the Digits launch, I got the wrong year I was thinking of 2015, you good. You’re welcome for the content 😂
Title says it all. Was excited to invest into my first Chris Bosh moment... turns out the Fred VanVleet moment is worth more than it... IDK feels bad man
Chris Bosh on James Wiseman: “I truly believe in Wiseman. All he has to do is set screens for Steph and Klay (Thompson), and roll, and he’ll be open all next season ... they just have to really enjoy the situation that they’re in right now.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/jenkins/article/Why-Steph-Curry-and-Kevin-Durant-are-both-right-16337494.php
Does he?
I wasn't following the NBA when these players were active. Any good videos to show why Evan Mobley is being compared to these players? I want to see if the comparisons to these players are legit. Thanks in advance.
>Ray Allen and Pat Riley will be Chris Bosh’s Hall of Fame presenters next month.
>2021 Basketball Hall of Fame Class announced:
>- Players: Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, Chris Webber, Ben Wallace
>- Coaches: Rick Adelman, Jay Wright, Bill Russell
>- WNBA: Yolanda Griffith, Lauren Jackson
>- International Committee: Toni Kukoc
Both Chris Bosh and Kevin Love were putting up great numbers on their teams, but their personal stats suffered quite a bit when they joined a LeBron super team. If they hadn’t joined LeBron, they presumably would’ve maintained their elite stats for several more seasons, and maybe would’ve been remembered as better overall players as a result. Did sacrificing for the good of their super teams help or hurt their legacy?
And what does this say about players who could’ve been superstars if they’d been the 1st option on a team instead of backing up a bigger star? How great would Scottie Pippin have been had he not been in Michael Jordan’s shadow? What if James Harden had stayed as the sixth man on a successful OKC team with Durant and Russell?
Will this be the first time since their playing careers that they will all be in the same building? Also, could this be a way of rekindling the friendship after Allen left?
If we get a big three photo at the Hall of Fame ceremony, I may need a doctor, I doubt it with some of the animosity between KG and Allen but one can hope!
Hi everyone!

A new thread will be created at some point tomorrow for your questions. Please do not post any question within this thread.
