Toronto Raptors All-Time All-Star Starting Five
By Ryan Greco
Power Forward – Chris Bosh

Best All-Star Performance: 2010 – 23 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist in 29 minutes
Forget how he left for a moment and remember that Chris Bosh literally did everything he could to try and bring one home for the Toronto Raptors.
The franchise leader in points and rebounds is a nine-time All-Star, five of which he enjoyed with the Raptors, and will most likely end up in the Hall of Fame when all is said and done.
Bosh also has the distinct honour of being the only player in franchise history to record a double-double during an All-Star game, which he did back in 2010 in front of over 108,000 people at Cowboys Stadium, in his home state of Texas.
During his time in Toronto, he also led the team to their first ever division title in 2007, before being bounced in the first round by then public enemy number one, Vince Carter, and the New Jersey Nets.
Bosh would hang on for three more seasons, but an inability to get past the first round, and eventually missing the playoffs altogether in 2010, led Bosh to sign with the Miami Heat and contribute to a title contender while he still could.
Bosh now has his rings, and plays on a good Miami team that might meet up with the Raptors in the postseason. He may get booed a ton when he returns (an unfortunate tradition here in Toronto), but he nonetheless is the undisputed All-Star in the Raptors power forward spot.
He may even be the best player this team has had yet.
