Chris Bosh: 7 seasons, 1 2nd-team All-NBA, 0 All-D's, 5 lotteries. Career: 211-320. Playoffs: 3-8. No more calling him a "superstar" please.

I knew there was a reason I followed Bill Simmons.

"Before anything else"

After that scum bag tweets "MIAMI HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[heinz57]

what bill simmons missed is "getting blown out of the first round of the playoffs the year you won a division title by a team in your own friggin division and VINCE CARTER"

He was Tweeting. You only have 140 characters.

still waiting for simmons to run down the list of players he's had beside him. oh wait, that might explain the above.

when VC went to orlando, simmons let it be heard far & wide that he thought it was a great move because vince had NEVER played with anyone 'decent.' i guess he forgot about kidd & jefferson, two guys with infinitely more skill (at the time they were vince's teammates) than bosh has ever had.

whatever.

I can't imagine they're very pleasant.

[Dr. James Naismith]

I know tons of Raptors fans will "unfollow" him now via Twitter. This fall out won't be pretty.

Maybe... but there's plenty of Miami Heat fans out there just lining up to listen to his b.s.

There cannot be much love waiting for him in his twitter account.

[Hotshot]

First he breaks up with us on television (all while flaunting his new squeeze) and now he wants to be friends via twitter?! why do you keep hurting us Bosh like that!!?? screw you Bosh!!! goodbye!!

Here's what else Simmons's tweeted.

First

Superstars guarantee you 45+ wins regardless of their supporting cast. Only 5 superstars right now: LBJ, Kobe, Wade, Durant, Howard.

then

PS: I agree Bosh could thrive on a good team (like Gasol did in LA). But we throw "superstar" around too liberally. LBJ/Wade = superstars.

He has a good point.

[Dr. James Naismith]

On a positive flipside, no more Hadi to deal with.

Have fun in Miami

I'm a HUGE Bill Simmons fan... great writer... great podcast... but his statement about: "Superstars guarantee you 45+ wins regardless of their supporting cast. Only 5 superstars right now: LBJ, Kobe, Wade, Durant, Howard." is simply not true.

Quick check of D-Wade's time in Miami after the Championship with Shaq:

2006-2007 - 44 wins
2007-2008 - 15 wins
2008-2009 - 43 wins
2009-2010 - 47 wins

Just sayin'....

Your support and love kept me going until the all star break when I checked out mentally and until the last few games of the season in the midst of a heated playoff race when I checked out physically.

Imagine if we hadn't loved and supported him, would he have made it through Christmas?

Thank you Chris Bosh, your 140 character loving embrace perfectly sums up the inadequacy and disappointment of the last 7 years.

You are Toronto's second least favorite franchise player in our 15 year history, maybe someday they will put it on a trophy and it can be the lone bright spot in what will be an otherwise empty trophy room.
