They have Bosh at #18 and KG at #21
KG may be older, but hes so much better than Bosh it's not even funny...
Yeah but the last impression of these guys playing against each other that most people have is the game 6 and 7 performances of both men in the ECFs last year.
Bosh definitely got the better of KG in those games and was instrumental in Miami winning that series. That doesn't mean Bosh is better than KG, I don't believe for a second that he is, but last impressions sometimes are the things people remember most.
Bosh had a fancy box score in game 7 with 19 points and 8 rebounds in 31 minues. 9 of those 19 points came from the three point line where he shot 3-4...a feat that he has probably never acheived in his entire career, and probably never will again.
KG's game 7 performance (14 points, 7 rebounds) was one of of his worst performances of the playoffs, yet still wasn't far of Bosh's output that game despite the three point fluke show.
In game 6 Bosh had 7 points, 6 rebounds in 28 minutes (3-8 shooting) while KG had 12 points, 5 rebounds in 31 minutes (6-14 shooting). There's really no way you can argue that Bosh had a better game there.
Throughout the playoffs KG averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and shot 50% from the floor and 87% from the line.
Bosh averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 1 block and shot 45% from the field and 83% from the line.
KG clearly had a VASTLY suprior postseason if you look at the numbers, and that's even
before you look at defense...an area where KG is worlds above Bosh.
The only advantages Bosh has over KG are youth and the ability to hit fluke threes at convenient times.
