Bosh calls looming jersey retirement 'awesome'. MORE:
MIAMI — Chris Bosh is making a lot of music these days. He drinks beer and thinks about making more beer. He sketches. He paints. He plays with his kids. He has even learned how to use a wrench.And finally, he's made peace with the devastating way that blood clots ended his NBA career without warning and when he was still in his prime. The Miami Heat will retire his No.
Bosh played 13 seasons, the first seven in Toronto and the last six in Miami. He averaged 19.2 points and 8.5 rebounds, was an All-Star 11 times and won two championships. There have been 30 players in NBA history with 11 All-Star nods — 23 of them are in the Basketball Hall of Fame, and the other seven aren't yet eligible.
It's fitting that Bosh gets a banner all his own, since there's no fewer than six others in the arena — four Eastern Conference ones, two NBA championship ones — that might not be there without him. When the Heat formed the"Big 3" that also had LeBron James and Dwyane Wade back in 2010, Bosh was the first to commit to being part of that trio."All we've wanted now for CB is for him to have his health and happiness," James said earlier this season.
