    Lol I hate to on Bruce but all these footages are against him

    Even Pop turned a blind eye to his antics and re-assured Bruce that he was the best defender in the league and he will will not changed the way he plays

    today's NBA players would've scored more with those types of defence. If they allow hand checking, today's NBA perimeter players would all average 50+ppg by leveraging it to their advantage.

    You can pretty much say that for all the perimeter defenders from the 90s onwards.

    You might not like it, but everything Bruce did was inside what was legal at the time. Well, except the hai karate kick on Wally Szcerbiak.

    The video is really orientated, the guys start by saying that Bowen was the dirtiest player the NBA ever had. Can we talk about Laimbeer, Thomas (who is mentioned in the video), Artest, Draymond... ? And the commentator also says that some footages "clearly" show he did that intentionally, I'm sorry but that isn't that obvious. When he steps on Bryant's hand, it doesn't look that deliberate.

    I'm not saying Bowen was an angel, and his bad moves helped us winning rings, but you can telle that the guy in the video clearly hates him.

    Tape don't lie, that's a lot of dirty BS by Bowen.

    Lets not stoop to the "But but but worse slimeballs did it also" including Kobme.

    Whatever...every team needs an enforcer. Spurs won 3 rings in 5 years with Bowen. Draymond gets in people's heads which has helped the Warriors win les. The Bad Boy Pistons would have no les without their antics.

    The "let's all hug, kiss, and exchange jerseys after the game" at udes you see now kind of sucks.

    Funniest thing last season was when someone tried to trade jerseys with Kyrie, and he just draped his jersey over the guy's shoulder and walked away without accepting Dude's jersey.

    Weird how Kobe never complained about it and was always pretty complimentary towards Bruce's defensive prowess

    Can't hate on him because it was very effective and he got away with all that sh1t repeatedly.

    But his antics are why I generally regard others from his era, like Shawn Marion, as better defenders.

    And Pop, who I'm sure privately rubber stamped all Bruce's baloney, getting all irate over Zaza, was hysterical.

    If it was the Pop of old, Curry's ankle would not have survived that series but yeah it sort of like the movie the Patriot.

    Pretty sure this is what Gregg wanted when he called for "some nasty".
