Power forward: Chris Bosh
Originally known as CB4 when he played for the Toronto Raptors, Chris Bosh was a perennial all-star and fellow 2003 draft classmate of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Let it be known that no matter how good Dwyane Wade and LeBron James were, the Heat doesn’t win those two championships and make four straight NBA Finals without the contributions on and off the court of Chris Bosh.
Bosh was the original stretch-four when most still referred to the position as a power forward with Bosh’s ability to shoot the 3 and make plays inside as a big man on both ends of the floor forever revolutionizing the game.
Bosh accepted his role as the third man on the team even though he would end his career as an 11-time all-star making the ultimate sacrifice. He proved his worth and that he could turn up the heat whenever he wanted as proven by hitting multiple game-winning 3’s and even going off for 13 points by himself in just a few minutes with three 3-pointers in a row to cap off his epic individual run.
Bosh was essential to maintaining momentum when Wade and LeBron were off the floor with his spin moves, footwork, flashy passes and most importantly, his energy.
