New gig for Bowen

If you're up fairly early reading this Wednesday morning, get thee to the radio: Bruce Bowen is doing his first gig as a morning co-host and could use your help.

The amiable Spur has agreed to be a guest host from 8 to 9 a.m. on "The Morning Drive with Andy Everett and Peter Burns" at Ticket 760.

According to Burns, Bowen views it as practice for a possible career in broadcasting (after leaving basketball, natch). "I'm going in so raw," Bowen told me in a call Monday night. "I know it's not as easy as people think."

Sure, he'll talk about the obvious: the NBA Finals — Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Lakers. Who's he rooting for? He'd like to see the Magic's Hedo Turkoglu — a former S.A. player whom he knows and respects immensely — get a ring, "and that L.A. didn't," he said.

Bowen also hopes to weigh in on other subjects. For instance: "Grey's Anatomy." Bowen said he doesn't get to watch much TV, but he does appreciate the twists and turns of that particular ABC drama. Moreover, he thought the finale was "incredible."

"We'll be taking a lot of calls," promised Burns, "and want to give Bruce the spotlight, let his great personality really come out." So don't hesitate to call the station this morning at (210) 736-9760.

Im in California 2 hours behind SA time.

Due to the time changes I was up at 6:15 and only heard from that on.

Other than that, nothing really, it mostly fun stuff and getting to know Bruce and his business and people calling in to share their great Bruce stories.

Bruce was really cool this morning. Super laid back guy, totally family and foundation person. He told us a story about how he went up to see the new Jerry World facility, and that people were asking if he was headed up to Dallas to talk to Cuban about joining the Mavs....He said..."NO WAY" Evidently, Cuban had some choice words after Spurs beat Mavs in 2006 in game 6, and said them right to Bruce.

So Bruce as a Mav....never.

Overall, he thought guys should go to college and not straight to pro's in BB, just for the life experience, said he's hooked on Grey's Anatomy, and how nervous he was before Game 7 of the 2005 Finals.

Good Man, Bruce! :)

Hopefully the podcast will be posted on the Ticket 760 website. I'd love to go back and listen to it.

Bruce is getting his name out there to be in media when he retires...he should definitely be offered a play by play or color job somewhere.

There's no doubt in my mind that he'll successfully put that Communications degree to good use. He'll do very well. Looking forward to hearing him somewhere when that day comes.

First, I wanna see him pass along some of his defensive tactics to Gist, Hairston and whatever new SF the Spurs bring in here.

Eh, I don't think that will happen.


way too early to get worked up about things, hundreds of hours to go in the offseason.
