This was a pretty interesting pickup that I thought was worth grabbing and sharing on the blog. Featured today is a home Toronto Raptors Chris Bosh jersey in the classic colours. Purchased from a classified ads, I was stoked to get this at a very good price. This post will only focus on CB4's tenure with the Toronto Raptors.
The material is made of a shiny polyester/nylon with embroidered double layered tackle twill numbers and letters. This was the style worn from 1999 to 2006 until purple was eliminated going into the 2007 season. This jersey will be stripped and turned into another player in the near future.
Chris Bosh was selected 4th overall in the 2003 NBA Draft. He was later named to the All-Rookie First Team in 2004 and played a significant role at the C/PF position. In his third year as a professional, he made his first of four straight NBA All-Star Game appearances. In 2007, he helped lead Canada's NBA team to their first Atlantic Division Championship. In 2010, he was dealt away to the Miami Heat.
