Chris Bosh played 13 years in the NBA. The first seven seasons were in Toronto. From 2005-2010, Chris Bosh’s scoring average was well over 20 points per game and he averaged a double-double in points and rebounds three of those five years. Bosh was also an NBA All-Star from 2006-2016 and five times in a Toronto Raptors jersey.

The statistics Chris Bosh amassed as a Raptors’ star are nearly nine years old and yet he is still the team’s all-time leader in rebounds at 4,476.

He is second in scoring to DeMar DeRozan with 10,275 points. Chris Bosh is still the team’s leader in blocked shots having recorded 600 during his time in Toronto.

Bosh is fourth in games played in a Raptors uniform at 509. He is second in minutes played during his Raptors’ tenure averaging 37 minutes a game or 18,815. Bosh also made 2,997 free-throws which is second in Raptors history.

While his playoff totals in a Raptors’ uniform do not rank him among the top all-time Raptors, the team only made the playoffs twice during Bosh’s seven seasons and both times the Raptors were knocked out in the first round.

However, he averaged 17.5ppg in 6 playoff matches in 2007 and 24ppg in 5 playoff games in 2008. Until his departure in 2010, the Raptors only true star players were Vince Carter and Chris Bosh.
