NBA: Should Miami Heat's Chris Bosh retire?
Miami Heat's Chris Bosh received some sad news lately as the doctors for the Heat did not clear him to participate in their training camp. With this news, Chris Bosh's future in the NBA is more uncertain now than ever. The blood clotting issues that he's been going through over the past two years have not let up. Now Chris Bosh is still optimistic about an NBA return, but should he retire? Here's a few reasons why Chris Bosh should leave the Miami Heat and finally hang it up.
Chris Bosh Career:
Chris Bosh has had a respectable career in the NBA. He's had about three seasons where he averaged at least 21 points and 10 rebounds per game. Bosh was an eleven time All Star and was a pivotal player in the Miami Heat's last two championship seasons. He's the Toronto Raptors all time leading scorer and has had a great career there as well. On top of all that, Bosh has an Olympic gold medal for which he won back in 2008. If Bosh were to retire, his NBA career would have been a successful one. There's nothing left for him in the NBA to accomplish.
Family:
Now I am a big family guy and Chris Bosh has a big family. He's married and have six children. SIX! Yeah it's time to hang it up and call it a career. With six children it's just not worth it. Chris Bosh loves basketball, but he loves his family more and he should definitely just retire. He's already 32 years old and has played longer than most have in the NBA. It's time to focus on that next chapter of his life.
Miami Heat:
The Miami Heat got a great future, but it's present is questionable. With the departure of Dwyane Wade, the Heat are going to be struggling to make the playoffs and are essentially a rebuilding team. Bosh doesn't have to risk his health playing for a team that really isn't going to make much noise in the playoffs. The Heat aren't going to be contenders anytime soon, so Bosh shouldn't rush back.
Health is the most important thing and with athletes who have been playing for many years, it is nothing to mess with. Chris Bosh's health is questionable and he should just retire and enjoy the rest of his life.
