Chris Bosh<\/a> recently went viral on social media for his honest response. During the NBA Cup, a reporter ran into the Raptors<\/a> legend and asked him what his average stat line would be if he earned a 10-day contract in the NBA today, getting to play 25 minutes per game.<\/p>\n

\u201c25 minutes of action? In practice? In a game right now? Ooouu\u2013\u201c said Bosh before going into deep thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cZero [points], Zero [rebounds], and 25 minutes played,\u201d Bosh hilariously added before claiming he would also have five fouls in that duration.<\/p>\n

NBA fans saw this on social media and expressed their views on the Heat<\/a> legend\u2019s hilarious honesty. Some of them also felt he was being humble and could actually drop many more points and have more rebounds in the game today.<\/p>\n

\u201cNah, I doubt it, given his ability to play the midrange game and at his size, I\u2019m sure he could get 8-10 points, 4-5 rebounds, and a couple of assists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said you can get straight cardio out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s way too modest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, a retired legend who is honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWish we woulda got to see him play out his career in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI still hate the way his career ended. Super under-appreciated for the guy who started the \u2018Stretch 5\u2019 wave in this era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Bosh averaged 20.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across the 509 games he played for the Raptors in the first seven years of his career.<\/p>\n

Despite having a Hall of Fame career in his stint with the Raptors, Bosh won both his championships when he joined LeBron James<\/a> and Dwyane Wade<\/a> on the Heat.<\/p>\n

He then averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 34.4% from the three-point line over the next seven seasons.<\/p>\n

Wade hilariously had a similar response when asked the same question during the Olympics last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be on the bench. I\u2019d be scoring points by giving out water and towels, and how many claps I give,\u201d said<\/a> Wade, hilariously.<\/p>\n

The NBA legend Bosh will be 42 years old in three months. Meanwhile, LeBron James turns 41 years old in less than a week.<\/p>\n

Therefore, for a brief duration, James and Bosh would be the same age. I am not saying James and Bosh played at the same level, but James\u2019 longevity unlocks the standards of comparison of how an elite 41-year-old would perform in the league today.<\/p>\n

On one hand, James is currently averaging 20.4 points, 7.0 assists, and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 48.1% from the field. On the other hand, Bosh hilariously implies that he would barely be capable of deserving a 10-day contract in the league today.<\/p>\n

However, the circumstances under which Bosh was forced to end his career are truly a heartbreaking story for any basketball fan today. Multiple blood clots cut short his NBA career at the end of the 2016-17 season after 14 years in the league.<\/p>\n

Bosh reportedly wanted to continue playing, but the league\u2019s rules forced the Heat to waive him as his condition was categorized as life-threatening. Therefore, even the Heat\u2019s hands were tied.<\/p>\n

However, if he were healthy today, he would definitely average a better stat line than what his modest self suggested. Do you think Bosh could have any impact in today\u2019s NBA? Let us know in the comments section.<\/p>\n
