Chris Bosh Rookie Year

Chris Bosh was forced to play out of position in his rookie season after Antonio Davis was traded to the Chicago Bulls. Night after night, Chris Bosh battled against opponents who were much stronger then he was, but he never backed down from any challenge.

Chris Bosh quickly worked his way into the hearts of the Toronto fans, but most importantly, was heralded by his teammates and coaches.

The coaching staff appreciated Chris Bosh´s perseverance, dedication, heart and willingness to play through pain and injury.

In his rookie season, Chris Bosh averaged 11.5 points per game, 7.4 rebounds, 1.41 blocks, and 33.5 minutes in 75 games played. He led all rookies in rebounding and blocked shots and set a franchise record for most rebounds in a rookie season with 557. As a result of his tenacity and eagerness to work hard and produce, Chris Bosh was selected to the All Rookie First Team for the 2003/2004 NBA Season.
