    C'mon Chinook. You don't need to artificially prop up Bowen, a lot of us watched him play years on end. I coincidentally posted the same observation a few posts ago, Danny has more physical tools than Bruce, that shouldn't be taken as a knock on Danny...

    Plus we have all of Bruce's seasons to dissect while Danny is still playing, and, seemingly, still improving. That's why I think some of these comparisons are not always fair. Right now, Danny is clearly the better 3 point shooter. I would still give the nod to Bruce defensively, but there are games yet to be played on Danny's career.

    Nono is balls on. Bowen's greatest asset was his work ethic. His greatest accomplishment was to succeed despite his athletic/bball skill shortcomings.

    He is still succeeding as a broadcaster besides not being naturally good at it.

    IIRC, he has a communications degree... He's certainly qualified for the job. I don't particularly like him as a broadcaster though.

    No, seriously, you've been around long enough to have seen people periodically post the vids of Bruce when he was young. It isn't a revelation that Bruce could sky when he was a scrub.

    He was OLD with the Spurs. But he was not a poor athlete his whole life.

    There's always an excuse. The question I have is how much better did Dirk have to do for people to have not thought Bowen did a good job? 30 and 15?
    Don't focus too much on statistics which is an intricate subject.
    How about Bowen got voted to all defensive team 8 times?

    Lol. I'd much rather all the Spurs get small deals so the team could add talent. If Danny signs a $30M/5 deal, I'd be elated.

    Statistics are biased by the maker. If you don't understand that, you're a ing idiot.
    This is the same guy who thinks kawhi did nothing special to stop westbrook in game 5 of the semis.

    Same dude who didn't watch the game commenting again, I see. Anyway, how are the stats biased? I'm not asking how it's possible,. I mean specifically how are the numbers skewed.

    He was never anything special. You can find videos of Gino wrecking it in Italy, and he was fairly athletic compared to your average Euro guy, but compared to NBA talent (Kobe, Wade, TMac, etc) he was merely decent.

    Bruce best years in the NBA were actually his Spurs years. His top asset was his unmatched footwork and mental for ude. IIRC, a year before joining the Spurs he was cut by the Bulls (or Sixers, can't remember exactly ATM)

    Basketball is a team sport. Singling out individual performance/stats is bound to induce bias.

    Don't backtrack. There aren't vids of Danny dunking from the FT line out there. Bowen wasn't spring-loaded or anything, but he was more athletic than Green. Not when he was with the Spurs, but that's not what G said, either.

    Stats are important and there's no doubt Danny ranks well because he's extremely good. He wasn't this good always, just like Bruce wasn't very good early in his career. There's a progression and I hope the Spurs recognize that Danny is very good for our system and do what they can to keep him.

    No. Stats are stats. They can be misinterpreted, but that doesn't make thw actual numbers slanted.

    Lol with that response. You're the one who made the claim. Back it up, bud.

    Do you doubt Danny could dunk from the FT line of he really tried it? I think he could, personally I wouldn't need a video if somebody told me that. He has mad reach. Bowen never had that. If Bowen did, he probably would've been drafted.
