The Heat Are Thankful For: Chris Bosh Stepping Up

I was really close to choosing white clothing for the Heat, I mean, have you seen the “white hot” crowd? Wow! When it’s all said and done though, the Heat have to be thankful for Chris Bosh.

Since coming over from Toronto in the summer of 2010, Bosh has been an unselfish contributor for the team, providing them scoring, rebounding, perimeter defense, interior defense and anything else that his body could do.

Now, with LeBron gone and Dwyane Wade injured again, Bosh has stepped up and posted his best numbers since his days as a Raptor, while also being a consummate leader for a Heat team looking for its identity.

Bosh could’ve easily bolted for Houston this offseason and arguably have a better chance to contend for a title, but he decided to stay loyal (and get money) and ride it out with the Heat.
