Throughout his tenure with the Big Three, Chris Bosh was criminally underrated as the supposed weak link in the two-time NBA champions’ chain. Two years removed from that glorious era, Bosh is in the process of cementing his Hall of Fame legacy.

Over the past week, Bosh solidified something else: his place in the Top 20.

Bosh opened the week with a pedestrian 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists in a 106-82 blowout of the Dallas Mavericks. He followed that performance by tallying 23 points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes during a 97-75 road domination of the Washington Wizards, and posted 28 points against the New York Knicks.

In one of his best performances of the season, Bosh had 31 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Heat past the Indiana Pacers 103-100.

Bosh’s ability to step up against contemporary stars is one of the most appealing aspects of his game. He plays up to the level of his competition, and selflessly contributes to his team on both ends of the floor.

Bosh is on pace for an 11th career All-Star Game appearance.
