Sorry if Germans, did a search and didn't find anything.

quote:

"Hell, yeah, of course. I've been a Hall of Famer like four years ago," the Miami Heat center told FOX Sports Florida after Friday's 110-88 win over Detroit. "And I say that very serious, though. I've talked about it before with my friends."

Full story.

Bosh's career numbers:
PPG: 19.7
RPG: 9.0
APG: 2.1
SPG: 0.8
BPG: 1.1
FG%: .494
3P%: .287
FT%: .800
All-Star Appearances: 8
NBA Titles: 1

Hall of Famer? Eventually? What say you?

Well his friends told him yes, so obviously.

Seriously though, is Horace Grant in the Hall of Fame?

I think ESPN said that only one player with at least 8 All-Star appearances has not made the HOF. Based on that, I would say that he is a lock.

Larry Johnson aka "Grandmama" isn't in the Hall of fame so I say no...

Basketball-reference.com has his HOF probability right now listed at over 89%, which is 11th among active players.

He is a lock. The people in this thread are just being reactionary. Basketball references hall of fame predictor has him with the 61st best resume, and 11th best Active resume. He'll make it.

He may not have been a lock for 4 years, but by the time he retires he'll easily get into the HOF.

When the Heat win 6 more titles, he'll be on the bubble.

Going to Miami will hinder his stats since he isn't the main option.


Someone should average his numbers with Toronto. He would be a HOF if he stayed on a team where he was the best player. He was a beast and did it efficiently.

And we should give a frick because why?

All-Star is worthless. Fans vote based on popularity. Should have no factor into the HoF.

Bosh was Toronto's best player, so got votes, then has piggybacked off LeBron and Wade in Miami

Yes he's going to make it. But he's a little delusional if he thinks he made it based solely off his Toronto years.

And he shouldn't be. He got injured early in his career and was never the same. You're comparing a 2 time all-star with an 8-time all-star with 5-6+ years left to play.

What about the years the coaches voted him in?
