NBA Superstar Credits Miami Heat Big Man For Revolutionizing The League
Chris Bosh was ahead of his time with the Miami Heat.
He was one of the first power forwards to act as a true threat from the outside, especially when Heat coach Erik Spoelstra moved him to center. His opponents took notice, including superstar forward Paul George. The former Indiana Pacer and the Heat had numerous battles deep in the playoffs, where Bosh thrived against their true frontcourt.
George took notice of this, crediting Bosh for revolutionizing the league on a recent episode of his podcast.
“When we played Miami and they put Chris Bosh at the five, I think that’s when the league literally changed,” George said. “Cause we were one of the last teams to be two bigs, real bigs. David West and Roy Hibbert [were] not three-point shooters, mid-range shooters. Defensively, Miami struggled against that until they moved Chris Bosh to the five and played four wings, and then that was how you beat the Pacers. That was the blueprint to beat the Pacers at that time.”
While Bosh never knocked down a high percentage from three-point range, the shots fell when it mattered most. Now, teams without an outside threat big man stand little chance of winning a championship.

“And then now that’s what you look for, you want a shooting big,” George shared. “There is no four man, no more, like the four man is a guard, a wing now, like we take a lot of credit, that Indiana Pacers team, takes a lot of credit for how the game is.”
Spoelstra is also deserving of credit for this change in the NBA, taking notice of Bosh’s ability to outshine the Pacers’ big men from the arc.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
