While I would agree that Bosh hasn't earned a max contract yet, he is still very young, and I think he'll probably get there. However, even if he levels off at where he is now, we likely has no choice but to give him a max, or near-max, contract, or it faces losing what little credibility we have left. Sad but true.
i completely agree with you, i think a lot of raps fan are overhyping chris bosh, don't get me wrong he's good, but i haven't seen a game where he dominated the paint ( i watch all the raptors games). He shows some potential, he is just not increasing at a rate that the fans want . I don't think he wull become a JO, Kg, Duncan type of player. I think Dwight howard is a lot better than him and more powerfull down the paint. The only reason dwight howard is not scoring a lot of points, is because they're not giving him touches, but bosh touches the ball almost everytime down the court. The point is , so far, bosh is not a max player.
Whereas I don't think Bosh is far from becoming JO's equivalent at all, let alone not reach that level ever. Duncan is on a different level but Bosh recieved high praise from this man for a reason.
We'll just have to see how this plays out. If Joe Johnson is a max player, then Bosh certainly will be.
