Nitro Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Bosh will never be able to be the centerpiece of a championship team...the last 20 years have been dominated basically by 5 players- Jordan (6 rings), Kobe (5), Shaq (4), Duncan (4), Hakeem (2). Only 2 seasons since '91 has the championship trophy not been raised by 1 of those 4. One was a perfect-storm type team in the '04 Pistons, and the other was a Celtics team with arguably 3 HoF players all in their prime. Shaq wasn't the best player of that '06 Heat team, but Wade played like an all-timer that Finals, and regardless you get my point. Knowing the history of the NBA's last 20 years (and we could go back even further, same pattern), is it realistic to believe that anyone BUT the top 3-4 players in the league have ANY shot of being the centerpiece of a championship team? No. Could Bosh be the centerpiece of a fringe contender over the next few seasons? Sure, and that is really the ceiling of 98% of NBA players. To him, that'd probably be an accomplishment, and when he enters his 30's then he can worry about winning a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Because if he wants to be a centerpiece, he'd resign in Toronto where he'd be the centerpiece forever. Of course he loves the free agent attention surrounding him but what leverage does he have for his cockiness? If he wants to win a ring, he'd say, I'm going wherever LeBron or Wade are going.
