Miami Heat: 10 best moments of Chris Bosh’s Heat career

1. One of the biggest rebounds in league history

If we didn’t have the Rebound, we would have never gotten the Block or the Shot.

I don’t think I really have to set the stage for this one, either.

Miami was down by three. LeBron had just clanked a shot from deep off the rim. Duncan was inexplicably on the bench. Bosh rose, snatched the rebound out of Manu Ginobili‘s hands and laid off a beautifully delicate pass into Allen’s retreating frame.

Allen caught it, got behind the three-point line and, well, the rest was history.

It was one of the most brilliant plays ever, and one that defined Bosh’s career. The wherewithal to locate the ball, the tenacity to snatch it away from Manu Ginobili (a persistent player in his own right) and the skill to place it right in Allen’s chest. He’s one of the few big men ever who could have pulled off the entire sequence.

But Bosh will be remembered as more than just a basketball player.

Though it hurts to know he’s struggling to figure out what his next path in life is going to be, you can be sure of one thing: Whatever passion he does decide to purse — whether that’s becoming a computer programmer, playing guitar in a blues band, coaching an NBA team (or who knows, playing on one?) — he’s going to excel. That’s just how freakishly talented he is as a person.
