    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TORONTO (CP) - Talent will carry Chris Bosh only so far. It's his character, says Raptors GM Rob Babcock, that will make him a superstar.

    Despite the fact he's only 20, Bosh is emerging as the leader of the Toronto Raptors in the absence of former franchise player Vince Carter . He's been the team's key player in its past two victories while playing with a veteran's poise.</div>

    hmm...although i do agree that bosh will emerge as the teams leader...its still too early for that imo. its only 2 games in a row.

    lets see what he does tonight against milwaukee. it will be interesting to see if he has another big night

    That's why Babcock, Mitchell and Bosh all said he is still a work in progress. Bosh himself admitted that he's not ready to be the go-to guy just yet and he's still a student of the game. One thing for sure though, Bosh does have every ingredient to be a superstar in the NBA if he keeps his effort and work ethic up. I'm going to go out of my limb and predict that Bosh will beat his career high of 25 points tonight.

    is it just me or does he come out to play against people who he has idolized? or is a good player? but if bosh learns how to play against everyone then he will b the next garnett, or even better

    i think the best players in the league are horrible people off the court. i like kevin o'neil's analogy of players willing to literally kill someone to win, cause honestly i think kobe and kg would do that.

    meh? a double double, (3rd in a row) and meeting his season average in points is "meh"? he also had 2 blocks as well...not to mention the fact that he was doubled all night long...sometimes triple teamed

    not sure in what world that equals "meh". its nothing overly special...but its a decent game for sure.

    i think the most glaring improvment from bosh lately has been his rebounding...he's really going to work on the glass, and fighting for the boards...pulling down big boards in traffic...its really been impressive

    What was it today 17 boards? Bosh is going to be a beast. CB4 will be an all-star reserve next year, book it. [​IMG]

    Hoffa and MoPete played good as well. And Bosh was ridiculous.
