Chris Bosh was a famous Toronto Raptor before he joined Lebron James and Dwayne Wade on the Miami Heat to form a Big Three. The Big Three era in Miami didn’t last very long, but Bosh was the one to stay the longest. Bosh’s career in Miami was eventually cut short due to a blood clot issue that caused an early retirement. Big men are more prone to blood clotting because of all the flying they do during the regular season. Bosh was an undervalued player during his NBA career and in Miami because of his ability to play the four and the five. Rarely do analysts give adequate value to players who regularly play multiple positions on the court, especially when a salary cap is involved. 2/21/2025
