For the fourth time in as many seasons with the Miami Heat, the waiting game paid All-Star Game dividends for center Chris Bosh.
As had been the case the previous three seasons, Bosh had to wait a week after teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were voted in as All-Star starters in fan polling. He earned his All-Star reserve nod Thursday when voting by Eastern Conference coaches was released.

there are players with better stats that have not made the HOF-
maybe his rings will help him, but as of now--I don't think he would make it.
This model has an impeccable track record and according to it he's a lead pipe cinch
still don't think he qualifies at this point and, as noted, players with better numbers and careers have not made it
The model is impeccable, as noted... It looks at the objective and subjective measurements and accomplishments of players who have already been inducted into the Hall and uses them as a benchmark. And accordingly it gives Chris Bosh a .09421 chance of making the Hall....
Excuse me if I rely on a peer reviewed model and not the word of some random internet poster.
not sure if my reply got posted
answer: Haywood had better numbers than Bosh and there are many in the HOF who never won a ring
plus-there are others -not just centers, who had better careers
Bosh's comical inability to rebound should nullify his ability to make it
But, in retrospect, Bosh might get in after several ballots --just as some others did long after their careers ended

lol it's funny to think that Joe Johnson is a 7 time all-star.
"The East reserves are highlighted by Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, who has made nine consecutive All-Star teams.
Joe Johnson was named to his seventh All-Star team, his first with the Brooklyn Nets."
These ratings are subjective. I definitely think Chris is a HOFER . Is there such a thing as a near great? I think he's a near great. kind of like a Prime Pau.

Yep. I definitely don't get the Joe Johnson thing.
He's flashy and fans like that.
I just think of "clank, clank, clank" when I see JJ. Seems so inconsistent to me. Maybe he just sucked consistently against the Heat, but I've never been a fan of his game.
