Bosh is what they call an NBA unicorn. a stretch big who plays defense... scouts literally say that is hands down the hardest thing to find - and Bosh is the supreme example of that.

Bosh was the ultimate swiss army knife for the Miami runs. He did everything for them. Theres a reason why the coaches were fond of saying that Bosh was the most important player on the floor for Miami. Because of all the ways he helped them win that didn't manifest themselves on a stat sheet. Everything they asked him to do he did. Hell they told him they needed more 3 point range so he went and developed a decent 3 point shot in one off season. In many ways he's the opposite of Melo. He's not really an amazing first option - but he's a winner, he's selfless, he works incredibly hard, he has a tremendous BBall IQ, and he represents the hardest thing to find in a player in the NBA size, defense, and scoring versatility all in one player. Bosh instantly makes every team you put him on better.

Melo fills up the stat sheet and loses the game. He's a true first option that needs the ball in his hand to be effective, but takes off plays on defense, doesn't know how to lead, makes stupid low bball IQ mistakes, and has never proven he can be a winner in the playoffs.

You take Melo, and enjoy your highlight vids... I'll draft Bosh and enjoy my playoff wins.

This dude stay making shytty threads

Chris Bosh has made the playoffs twice in 7 years when he was the best player on the team, and won a grand total of three games in the postseason. Without Lebron & Wade, he's just as big of a "loser" as Melo , arguably even more so because he spent his whole career in the JV conference. Miss me with the "winner" talk

Melo's more talented and a better first option but I don't think he's a good enough first option to be ever be a legitimate championship contender but he's also much worst as a 2nd option because he requires the ball to be at his best.

Bosh is better in every situation except being a 1st option because he's a versatile and mobile 4 who can switch into pretty much any position and be ok, he pulls opposing bigs out with his spacing, he's easily a 1st option offensive talent in the right lineup, etc.

I'm grabbing Bosh. I value his overall versatility even though I think Melo is more talented
