Raptors forward Chris Bosh doesn't understand why he doesn't get as much attention as some of the NBA's other stars.

"Every day I turn on the TV and they're talking about guys, especially my draft class, '03 draft class, and this and that," he said. "They keep bringing up all these and I never hear my name, unless I'm like second honorable mention or something like that. I got tired of that.

"I don't even think people know I've made all-star teams or know what I've done in this league."

Bosh is averaging 26.8 points and 12.3 rebounds this season.

He ranks seventh in scoring and second in rebounding.

"I always thought of myself as a good basketball player, but after a while I really wanted to turn the corner. I looked at all the other guys who are considered top guys and I was tired of not having my name mentioned," he added.

"I wanted to do the necessary work to make sure I put myself in a situation to be successful."
