There are many paths to getting into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Win a lot of championships. Make a lot of All-Star teams. Score a lot of points. No two cases are exactly the same. None of them are about empty statistics.
The most important thing a Hall of Famer has to do is mean something, and Chris Bosh meant something to everyone who cared to take a look and a listen.
It’s fitting that perhaps the two most important moments in Chris Bosh’s career had nothing to do with any of his 17,189 career points. It’s also fitting that his rebound and pass to Ray Allen for the game-tying three in the final seconds of Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs, and then his block on Danny Green in overtime, effectively decided whether the HEAT were going to win back-to-back titles or go home empty handed for the second time in three years.
