[florige]

No Problem guys... I bumped it when I noticed it had drifted off to page 2. I forgot myself until I heard about it this morning. I'll bump it again later if it happens to drift off again for the evening folk. :smokin

Tony Parker on letterman on the 25th or 28th of june

[LoVeNSpuRs]

Awesome! I knew about Bruce but not Tony.

Guarantee Jay is gonna bring up the "dirty talk" to Bowen for sure. San Antonio should probably get some nice props from Bruce tonight.

[Avitus1]

This needs a bump!

[Summers]

Tony Parker on letterman on the 25th or 28th of june

Cool--didn't know about that. Thanks for the reminder about Bruce tonight. :)

[The Red Hood]

BUMP it is getting closer

[dbreiden83080]

Thanks for the reminder i just set my TIVO. Since Kobe is acting like such a bitch right now and the Tonight Show is filmed out in LA i bet they waste some of Bruce's limited time talking about that fucking idiot and his whining.

[Trainwreck2100]

I'm going to laugh my ass off, if he tells the audience to "put your hands together for Bruce Bowen"

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccce!

[SpursFanFirst]

[kingsfan]

Cute baby

[RashoFan]

Bruce's son is a cutie!

[AnkleBreaker21]

what special about bruce is he talking about

[RashoFan]

Bruce was straight up CLASS on the Jay Leno show....:smokin

[lurker]

I like Bruce off the court. He's funny.

[spursaretheone]

Bruce did a great job!

[SpursFanFirst]

...and not one mention of Kobe! :clap

[Darkwaters]

Everytime I watch Bruce (or any Spur for that matter, but especially Bruce) I realize just how humble is really is. There is no sense of ego or entitlement. He simply is what he is and doesn't make a big deal out of it. I love that about him.

[Shelly]

Bruce did a great job!

I agree...It's weird because I don't remember him before the Spurs, so I have a hard time believing he was ever an egotistical jerk...It was recently stated here several times in another thread.

[The Red Hood]

big applause for the humble spurs

[AnkleBreaker21]

has tim ever been on the tonight show, that would be great, or gino

[Darkwaters]

Wow. A HUGE storm just swept by my house and they cut into the Leno show with weather updates right after Bruce finished. I'm glad I got to see it all!

[The Red Hood]

Stylin Bruce :hat

[The Red Hood]

Is it for sure that Tony will be on Letterman and if so what date

[Kobulingam]

Wow. Bruce is so well spoken. He never makes glaring grammatical errors, or pauses a lot with "umms" .. "likkeeee." He's an amazing speaker.

EDIT:

Bruce is the total opposite of Shawn Marion when it comes to speaking English.

[Darkwaters]

I remember watching Letterman when the Dallas Cowboys were winning all those superbowls. Everytime they won a super bowl he would have the MVP on the show and I would make sure to watch. He caught passes from Troy Aikman or gave handoffs to Emmitt Smith. He even ran routes against Larry Brown and then tried to cover Larry Brown later on. I thought those were always kinda stupid, but really fun at the same time. Why no love for Bruce? They could have set up a mini-basketball hoop and had Jay try and score on Bruce. It would have been really funny. Oh well...

[Clutch20]

Bruce did fine the first minute, then next he was open and candid, after that you could see in his eyes that playfulness start to show and Jay would have had to play a tight game of tag with Bruce if his segment had gone on any longer!

[Marcus Bryant]

....and then Bruce thanked the assistant to the traveling equipment manager.

[Kori Ellis]

I thought Bruce was awesome. He gave initial thanks to the blessings of his wife and children, mentioning that those kind of things are more important than basketball. Explained about Ozmel being born during the Finals. Talk a little bit of basketball, the humble Spurs and how NBA players are blessed that get a lot of money to play a game. Mentioned very briefly about his bad childhood without getting too into the details, thanked the all the appropriate people.

Very nice interview.

[mrsmaalox]

Yea Bruce was great! Personable and VERY well-spoken; impressive :toast . But damn, that woman who sang after him had the most ANNOYING voice I've ever heard!! Like nails on a chalkboard :lol

[dbreiden83080]

I was laughing my ass off when Jay said that Lebron is probably the best player in the game today. After watching the finals i am not even sure he is in the top ten anymore. I know Kori loves him i hope now she sees how limited he really is as a franchise player, he has a lot of work ahead of him.

[dav4463]

Leno is repeated at 2am for those that didn't get a chance to watch.

[dg7md]

Can someone put it up on Youtube?

[greens]

Yeah, I missed it too...Can someone please put it on youtube?

he actually replays at 3:05 a.m. he will replay tonight's Bruce show next Tuesday June 26 at 3:05 a.m.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Good job, Bruce.

Way to represent the team, classy interview all the way. And he was very sociable, no awkwardness. I was actually glad how honest he was about how he has a grounded view about his job, the rings, etc. He can see it through a larger perspective.

[dav4463]

Thanks. It's 2:05 am central time though I think. It's on right now, but not the one with Bruce.

[The Red Hood]

Yeah Jay just started right now

[The Red Hood]

Do you live here in San Antonio Dav4463?

[Supergirl]

It was a very classy interview. Bruce looks very handsome in a suit. Then again, I think he's pretty handsome in general.

Seemed really short, though. What was with the joking about Bruce wanting to be on the show before? Anyone know the backstory?

Any other Spurs making any appearances? I was bummed I missed Parker on Letterman. Manu should go on, somewhere. I know Tim would never do it.

[florige]

Yeah if anybody could youtube it that would be appreciated. Started the darn thread and I missed it like an :donkey ....

From what I've heard Parker hasn't been on Letterman yet. It's a thread on when he scheduled somewhere on this page.

It was during that segment Leno ran on Game 1 of the Finals. They had a 'correspondent' for media day --an old lady. She interviewed Bruce and Bruce told Jay he wanted an interview at the studio.

You can tell Michael Chiklis was impressed w/Bowen and applauded him when Bruce was talking about being humble. It was awesome.

uhh lebron would have been way more effective if he had any teammates worth a damn.

[Spurs R Us]

After watching Bruce, it just showed more and more why I love the Spurs -- humble, not out for all the personal glory and just downright good guys!

[easjer]

I stayed very alte to catch it and thought it was a great interview. I thought Bruce was funny and personable and touching. I love that Michael Chicklis seemed so into listening to him and congratulating him. It was great to see a BB player not pimping his shoes or clothes or hyping his own celebrity, but being humble and grateful.

Classy interview, indeed.

[CubanMustGo]

Now if we could just get TD on a show ... and have him put his wit on display ... that would be awesome! Hmm ... maybe Conan would be quirky enough?

[Sec24Row7]

Guys... be honest... Bruce didn't really do a good job...

He didn't let Jay lead him into questions... He talked like everyone knew what the deal was with his childhood... but never said what the "hardship" was...


Very frustrating for Jay I'm sure...

[lefty]

I liked it when he reminded the band to hit the drums, after making a joke :toast

I will tell you like what I told my friends be thankful that he was even on Jay Leno stupido :toast

plus I don't think he wanted to play the pity act by revealing to much of his hardship childhood maybe he wanted to keep some of it to himself and not reveal a lot of his private life plus chiklis took up most of the time and jay also did 'jaywalking' which left Bruce with not much time

I'm pretty sure the audience wanted to know, but Bruce spared them the personal details. I still think Bruce's moment, was when he described the Spurs "quiet dynasty" and how they don't really do any of that shit that turns off the marginal fans of the NBA.

Bruce does tend to talk a lot and babble a little. But I thought he was fine, wasn't nervous (or blank), very sociable.

Jay mentioned Bruce having a tough upbringing or something, and Bruce mentioned that ABC did a package about that...I must've missed that. Does anyone have a link to that?

I think he was talking about the halftime special ABC showed during the 2005 Finals.

Umm... Jay probably should have asked Bowen ahead of time if he wanted to discuss his mom's crack problems and other family estrangements. In such a joyous time of his life, maybe he just didn't want to get into stuff like that.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

I took it as him not trying to play the sympathy card. Because he also added that a lot of people go through rough times, and that his story was one of many in the NBA. He did great IMO.

[BlackFlagg]

That's exactly my take. I think Bruce was gracious in not going into details and further, turning it into an opportunity to point out that there are many children growing up in the same circumstances.
