    I can't remember a player as good as Chris Bosh being the third best player on his team ever!

    He's a great third option, but I still believe in my heart of hearts that he's one of the most overrated players in the NBA. And I really just don't like the lapdog (thanks SVG)

    This game is easy.

    The Lakers had four All-Stars one year with Eddie Jones, Kobe, Shaq, and Nick Van Exel.

    The Mavs had Nash, Finley, Dirk, and Jamison one year.

    Hell, just look at Worthy as the third best on the Lakers with Kareem and Magic. I don't think it's really that uncommon, and Bosh isn't THAT good.

    Bosh is extremely overrated.

    Give me Gasol's ability to create his own shot, mid range, rebounding, ability to play C, ability to use the left hand, quickness, etc... over Bosh's game any day.

    I'm salivating for our chance to meet in the Finals. I hope everyone on both teams stays healthy because if Big Drew is healthy, I'm loving our chances.

    I agree, but Gasol is LA's best player. ;) Bosh is only Miami's third-best player.

    LOL... Miami won't be in the Finals next season. Not unless they have eight players on the court every night (counting the refs).

    who is going to stop them in the east? unless they pick up absolutely no one to play inside and have to start pittman there, the only team i could see knocking them off before the finals is the magic.

    I guess we'll have to wait and see who they fill out the roster with I guess.

    I just got here. Is this thread about James Worthy? Who is Bosh? Has he won a playoff series before? Was he even in the playoffs last year?

    Elgin Baylor (L*kers). Moses Malone (Sixers). You do have to go back a ways.

    The Western Conference Finals are the best you can hope for.

    Bosh is going to have to make the transition from star to role player - they require different types of skills. It's a very difficult transition to make, many small school college stars have the same trouble. He also won't like being the third wheel, because he wants respect rather than to just play the game (unlike Worthy, for example).

    A previous poster gave you James Worthy, who was better than Bosh. Hell, if Andrew Bynum stayed healthy, HE might be better than Bosh. Dennis Rodman was better than Bosh (I'm not joking - in terms of what he brought to the team, and because he was perhaps the best ever rebounder (pound for pound) and an amazing defender, he was). Hell, Bosh is a shorter, more versatile Horace Grant.

    Go back and watch some of the recent USA performances. Bosh is pretty much invisible.

    The Celtics of 2008 could have handled them. They might just be past their sell-by date now though.
