Bosh is a good player, but he's no superstar. That title is reserved for players like Lebron, Durant, Kobe, Dirk, Rose, etc. Bosh isn't on that level.

This. Especially that last point. I think its really hypocritical of ppl who wanted him on their team to be mad at "the decision." In fact, I think if he comes to New York instead of Miami ppl look at the spectacle of the decision in a completely different way. Why? Because the New York media would've protected him and painted a much more palatable picture than the bad guy image we were left with. Same if he would've went to Chicago. Miami is not a media center and their press did very little to protect him. Hell they made it worse by adding to the show.Originally Posted by Big J 33
I never bought the narrative that Lebron was doing things the easy way by going to Miami. You can only ask a superstar to do it on their own for so long, if the FO wasn't getting it done, do it yourself.
I would have been fine with it if he went to NY, so I'm cool with it (despite not liking the Heat).
Bruh none of that show isht would've mattered. Knicks as an instant contender would've been the only headline. Post would've had Gilbert on the backpage with a bib and pacifier lol.Originally Posted by DubA169
lols at the new York media protecting ANYBODY let alone protecting lebrons decisions show if he chose new York. Come on now. Miami media is peaches and cream.

He and the Heat got their chip. He didn't want to be "The man". Takes a different kind of guy to do that. He's not "that" guy.
Me personally, I would of loved to see him stay and get a chip in Cleveland. Would of been much more rewarding.

Yeah but it would be about his performance, not the decision. That's my point. People still whining about the decision are grasping at straws that would've long been plucked had he gone to NY or Chicago.Originally Posted by DubA169
Reporters literally camped outside of Gloria's house. They weren't doing that to spread good news. The media woukd build him up, knock him down, build him up, knock him down
If he imploded like he did in the finals against the mavs the papers would have raped him. Tore him a new one.fans and media have different interests. You don't sell newspapers with positive stories. Riley can't control the ny media like he can Miami.

I'm saying.

It's a power duo... and Chris Bosh. Dude is nice, but wasn't a superstar before MIA.
Big 3? Meh, I can buy it. Kind of just gets tossed around because of Ray/Kevin/Paul and Kobe/Bynum/Pau, so whatever.
But Chris Bosh the superstar? Yeahno. Bron had another superstar (singular, not plural), just like all the rest of our beloved phenoms.
