Bosh or Stoudemire???

Both are phenomenal players and the top scorers on their teams but who would be best suited for the Chicago Bulls? Well looking at there statistics they seem like almost the same player but they actually can be very different. For one Chris Bosh is the leader and only all-star on his team making him the number one option every game. On the other hand Stoudemire has Steve Nash who was a 2 time MVP and an excellent passer. Injuries are also a huge concern of mine. Bosh has never been fully healthy enough to play all 82 games because he always would end up getting dinged up at some point in the season. Stoudemire is a completely different story, about half the years he has spent in the NBA he has been healthy and the other half he has had major problems including knee and eye surgeries. Both guys have almost identical physical attributes being 6-10 and weighing about 240 lbs. There is a key difference to this match up though and that is DEFENSE. Amare Stoudemire has never had to play defense while being in the Suns organization because they have a run and gun style of play. Bosh has been an excellent post defender throughout his young career and i think that is the main and most import difference. Having a great offense will win you a lot of games but having a great defense will win playoff games and even championships. Both will be free agents as of July 1st and if the Bulls have the chance I hope they jump on Bosh just because of his defensive abilities.
