Bruce Bowen? Dirty. No way.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jAakQjpFibg

Wow, that's unbelievable. I didn't realize that kickboxing had merged with basketball.

There are a bunch of videos showing dirty plays by Bowen, but that one stands WAY out above the others. Anybody know how long ago this one occurred? I wonder what punishment was doled out on that. Some of the other videos show an aftermath (scuffles, refs conferring, etc), but I'm surprised this one didn't.

I had heard about Bowen's reputation for stepping in beneath people to cause ankle injuries, but I didn't realize how many times he's done shit like this. :tdown:tdown:tdown

I think the Bowen think is like the Imus thing. Maybe not the worst thing ever, but thanks to a LOOOOOOOONG and brutal track record, it is inexcusable. Bruce Bowen should be out of the league.

Has he ever been suspended? I'd say he deserves that at the very least. Looking collectively at the multiple examples of his bullshit at YouTube is a definite eye-opener.

I was telling noj and SS1 yesterday -- one of my buddies (a big Pistons fan) HATES the Spurs, but says the only player that he likes on that team is Bowen precisely because he is a dirty player. I spoke to him today and he said that if Bowen keeps this up he might have to start rooting for the Spurs.

I hate seeing any player get hurt. I hate it even worse if I accidentally hurt someone else when I'm playing, and would never do it intentionally. So, purposely stepping under someone's foot to make them roll an ankle is about as chump as it gets, in my book.

The #8 seed schmoes did their thing tonight. Feels good, but it's still just one win. If they blow them out again in game 4, then maybe I'll give them a chance of taking 2 of the last 3... but it will probably be less than a 50% chance. ^_^ Damn, we should be up 2-1 and in the driver's seat.

I heard during tonight's telecast that the league has dismissed any idea of punishing Bowen. If true, I'd say they're either blind or gutless. Anyway, I haven't found any official news story quoting the league office on the matter. I did find this, which is such bullshit. What a boneheaded spin they put on the whole thing... Bowen's just "playing hard", and he's not going to "back down"... as if consistently kicking people in a cheapshot manner has anything to do with "playing hard". How often do you see guys getting kicked in the achilles by a player who is totally beaten for a dunk? One look at that kung fu move on Wally Szczerbiak says it all. Any 12 year-old who goes to YouTube can see that Bowen is a dirty player.

nice knee by bowen to nash's nads

^_^

Yeah. If that was intentional, that's pretty crappy. On the other hand, if he was only trying to clear space (a move everyone in the NBA does when the defender is belly-to-belly with ya), and it was inadvertent, then it's just physical playing on both sides.
