Chris Bosh says he’s a lock to make the Hall of Fame | ProBasketballTalk
Miami Heat center Chris Bosh was selected to the All-Star team as a reserve by the coaches, marking the eighth time hes received the honor in his 10 NBA seasons.
That, along with the championship ring he earned a season ago might mean hes already assured himself a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Bosh believes so, anyway. And actually, the numbers are on his side.
Hell, yeah, of course. Ive been a Hall of Famer like four years ago, the Miami Heat center told FOX Sports Florida after Fridays 110-88 win over Detroit. And I say that very serious, though. Ive talked about it before with my friends.
The only eligible player in history with eight or more NBA All-Star selections who is not in the Hall is eight-time pick Larry Foust, a center who averaged 13.7 points and 9.8 rebounds from 1950-62.
Hes on the right path, said Heat guard Dwyane Wade. To be in a position where he has a lot of years left, he has a championship under his belt. If we can continue to get more and he can continue to be productive, no question about it.
Its rare to hear players still in their prime be so brash about their legacy like this, but Bosh is an intelligent guy who likely knows his place in the game.
Its also worth noting that most players arent asked about their Hall of Fame chances this way, and with good reason. Checking in with the obvious choices i.e., every active player with more than eight career All-Star appearances wouldnt make sense, as all of the names on that list are no-brainer selections.
Where it starts to get interesting is when you take a look at the only other active player with eight All-Star appearances, and thats Vince Carter. Should he be feeling as confident as Bosh is about his own Hall of Fame chances?
He'll eventually get in. Bosh will be a 10 plus time all star and probably a multiple time NBA champion

But, since the standards have been lowered, I guess he will be a HOF. 
But, really though, all he has is the 2nd Team All NBA once, what has he done that's really significant that would make him an HOF'r?
He said this shyt with confidence and he was serious about it
