Chris Bosh, the other guy in the original Big Three of the Miami Heat back in 2010 is expected to be back for the 2015–16 NBA season and the center/forward is raring to go as he tries to help his ballclub get back on the right track.
Bosh saw his 2014–15 NBA season end prematurely when he was found to have a blood clot in one of his lungs. The discovery was a bit alarming considering this is a condition that took the life of a former NBA great, Jerome Kersey.
It seems that Bosh has been medically cleared from that setback; now, he is gearing up to help his team who will certainly get a big boost from his return.
Bosh knows that without Lebrone James, he will have to step up. The fate of the team rests on his shoulders together with buddy Dwyane Wade, although the team did add some key additions and keep familiar names as well.
Returning are Goran Dragić, Luol Deng, Hassan Whiteside and Udonis Haslem, while the new faces include rookie Justise Winslow and veterans Amar'e Stoudemire and Gerald Green.
Could these guys be enough to catapult the Heat back into contention once more? As far as Bosh is concerned, it is all about sticking together and the rest will come.
"We have the experience, we have the talent, we have the leadership, we just all have to bring those things together. (If we) bring the chemistry on the court, believe in ourselves, and just go out there and let it hang loose and compete, then I think we'll be alright," says the 10-time NBA All-Star.
The Heat seem to be one of the teams to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a run for their money, although it may be too early to tell.
After missing the NBA playoffs last season due to lack of manpower, one thing that Bosh and the Heat may have to do is make sure that everyone is fit and healthy. And apparently that starts with him.
