Dwyane Wade defends Chris Bosh amid criticism
It is just not right to put Randle ahead of Chris Bosh, especially when the latter has two championships to his name and the former has none. Even when one is judging based on pure talent, Bosh was a superior force on the court.
Dwyane Wade asserted the same and defended his former teammate during a recent appearance on NBA on TNT. The former Miami Heat star brought up Bosh’s excellent career in Toronto and mentioned how he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds in multiple seasons.

“In the next act of his career, he had six All-Star appearances in Miami, playing with the likes of LeBron James and also Dwyane Wade, and was able to win two championships doing that,” Wade mentioned.
“Just because he wasn’t loud, just because he wasn’t fancy, doesn’t mean he’s not a great player,” the four-time NBA champion added.

Randle is currently averaging 23/10, but it feels like a sin to judge him to be better than a “peak” Chris Bosh. It is just one season where we’ve seen him put up these numbers, and consistency is the biggest factor in determining a player’s greatness.
