Can't help but wonder if so many here hate Bosh just because he's on Miami.

Because I think he's a great player. He can rebound and shoot. Not quite sure I am seeing the gripe with Bosh, unless of course, it's cause he's wearing a Heat uniform.

He's a good player but I think he's overrated.  It has nothing to do with the uniform...I thought he was overrated before he became a part of the Miami "Big 3".  He may be a top 3 player on the Heat, but there are A LOT of better F/Cs.

The guy averaged 24 and 11 the year before he joined the Heat and had been averaging over 22/gm since 05-06. I get that his Toronto teams weren't amazing, but he had a run of five fantastic years (his first two year were no slouch, either) before becoming third fiddle.

I am not a huge Bosh fan and that probably had to do with him being on the Heat, but he was hardly overrated. I think people just forgot how good he actually was.

I hate Wade. I wouldn't want him for free.

We agree to disagree.  I dont think hes a max contract player.  Great players don't become a third fiddle when they change teams.  He put up big stats in toronto because he was the only good player they had.  There was a time when Gerald Wallace put up great stats too.   
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

You become third fiddle when you've got Wade and LeBron on your team. 99% of max contract players in the NBA would.

To clarify...I dont blame Bosh for going to Miami on a max contract...I am saying that he's not worth it.  If I was going to create a "Big 3" for the next X amount of years, Bosh wouldn't be one of them.  Hes just not a dominating player.  Hes good, maybe better than good at times, but hes not a franchise player.  Regarding the third fiddle, he is the Fredo of the Big 3.
