    I agree with ZBo. Did you see his key block at the end of the Knicks/Clips game? He also hit the FTs to send it to OT. Go ZBo!!

    Statistically they're pretty even actually, but we know better. Zach is a fill the sheet guy, not a build your team around him guy.

    Is Z-Bo talking about basketball or an eating contest?

    Is Chris Bosh a "build your team around him guy"? His team is.. what? 25-45?

    Zach's a funny guy. Must be the smog in LA.

    I was gonna post something similar, man.

    I think if one considers potential and contract status, Bosh is a better/more valuable player.

    On the floor, though? Zach is at least his equal.

    zach randolph is not even close to chris bosh's equal on a basketball court.

    yes, he can put up similar(though lesser) stats on the offensive side of the floor. zach also has a small advantage rebounding the basketball. bosh of course is much more efficient offensively, much better at playing in a team concept(he's not a black hole), and he holds a large advantage on the defensive side of the floor.

    if you're playing fantasy basketball, they are approximately equals. if you are playing actually basketball, bosh is a top 15 player. zach randolph isn't top 50.

    He's a better option than Zach, and it's not debatable.

    15 players better than Bosh: Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Paul, Wade, Brandon Roy, Howard, Duncan, Dirk, KG, Pierce, Yao, Parker, DWill, and Billups, to name a few.

    i agree with you other than parker and billups. guys like joe johnson and kevin durant deserve to be in the picture as well. but i'd still have bosh at probably 14 on the list behind just those 13 you listed that i agree with.

    of course, zach randolph is nowhere even close to the picture.

    Zach Randolph to Chris Bosh? I expect everyone who said Randolph to be of equal or better talent than Bosh to be bleeding out the nose from cocaine abuse. This comparison is pretty fucking absurd. Chris Bosh has taken his team farther than Zach ever has.
