There's not much difference in their offensive games, but Bosh is easily better defensively.

There isn't much difference now in their offensive games maybe, but Bosh wasn't as "refined" offensively 4 years ago when he joined the heat. He is much better 3 point shooter now, although Love is still better from outside by 5%.

I will absolutely give you defense to Bosh, although he isn't a big body so he gets pushed around by guys a bit too often for being 6'11''.

But Love averages 4 more rebounds per game, which is a huge difference as well. Even in Bosh's best season he never averaged 11 boards a game. Love has averaged that every year except his rookie year, where he only averaged 9.

In fairness to Bosh, when he was the MAN in Toronto, he was putting up very good numbers. But Love's are better across the board. Bosh's best year is 24/11, Love already has 2 (or 3) seasons better than that.

Love's PER in Minny at his peak is also higher than Bosh's PER ever was in Toronto.

I dunno I'm closer than I was honestly, because D is absolutely in favor of Bosh.

I still give Love the advantage, but after writing this it is closer than I realized honestly
