Back then it was normal
He probably wasn't the cleanest of players, but I doubt he was the fourth dirtiest.

I miss Bowen! That list is a joke.
Wish we had a tough seasoned son of a like him on our team again though.
Bull article. The person who made this obviously has no smarts to who is a "dirty player"
A meaningless blog.
Bowen is the 4th dirtiest player in sport history? It's really funny.
i had forgotten how many youtube videos clueless and bitter suns fans had made over the 07 series.
Bruce was pesky, not dirty. There is a big difference IMO. Raja bell's clothesline of kobe (even though i enjoyed it!) was way dirtier than anything bruce ever did.
Joke list on a joke website.
I love Bowen, he is one of my all time favorite spurs. But come on yall, every time he contested a jumper he scissor kicked so that his foot was underneath the offensive player. I don't think he was trying to injure people, but he damn sure wanted to get in there head and make them think about landing wrong. He also has a few outright dirty plays, like kicking Wally Sczerbiak(sp?) in the face. Due to this perception every little thing he did, like inadvertently kneeing Nash and "kicking" Paul while he was on the ground got more attention then they probably deserved. He will always be one of those players you loved to have on your team and hated if he was on the other team.
4th all time in all sports is obviously an exaggeration, but saying he wasn't at all dirty is an exaggeration also.
Meh, Bruce got his 3 rings and that's all that matters.
wait so they were rippin on bowen? did they talk about their opinions of the accuracy?
Yeah on First Take they were playfully ripping on Bruce. Bruce took it well but you could tell he was a little embarrased ive been trying to find a video of it online but havent found it. Youd think ESPN would at least check the lists credibility before putting it on their shows but guess not.
BB was a dirty mo' a and I loved every minute of it.
lol Manny read my mind...
Bruce baby!!
We miss you
When is Pop going to stop beating around the bush and finally put his ing jersey in the rafters?
Don't know enough about sports to rank him relative to other players but Bruce was one dirty MF. Think about it like this, if somebody stuck their foot under your feet after you took a jump shot, how would you react?
I'm not talking about any of the kicking incidents with Ray Allen, Chris Paul, or whoever else. I'm just saying the sliding the foot under a jump shooter move was an extremely dirty play and he did it several times. Of course it got into players heads. I think anybody would be worried about spraining their ankle in that situation.
That's a really dirty play and I'm surprised no one beat the out of him.

Maybe they meant hygiene?
Full of Fail
Bruce was effective. There are plenty of players in the league who hurt other players, but cannot actually defend anyone. Look at Pryzbilla. He's always throwing someone to the floor. Dirk's elbows have teeth in them from many different sources. Ewing was notorious for his elbows. If it works and the refs don't see it, go for it. That's how these bull fouls are called when someone flings their arms up after the know they were just fouled, like they were in the act of shooting. When everyone becomes honest, the Spurs will probably be leading the way.
After reading the comments, I'm not even going to look at the list. Ty Cobb at 16, seriously? , Cobb took pride in being a dirty rotten bas .
It completely invalidates this list that Bowen is ranked 4th and Bill Lambeer isn't even in the top 10.
@ Tonya Harding being #9.
So what Bowen did is dirtier than hiring a hit man to destroy someone's knee? Wtf?!
Edit: Ty Cobb all the way down at #16!? These guys know nothing.
Doesn't anybody remember the second half of Danny Ainge's career where he came off the bench as a hatchet man? They put him into the game specifically to do the kinds of things Bruce gets accused of.
And when you start talking about all sports, what do you do with some of those L.A. Raiders teams? There's not enough room in the Top 20 to fit all the Raiders who belong there. And they didn't try and hide it either.
If you're including coaches, Buddy Ryan ought to be in the Top 5. Probably the dirtiest sonofa ever associated with football, and that's saying a lot.
Kermit Washington accomplished enough in one play to earn a high spot on the list.
'em for even mentioning Bruce in the company of those people.
If people are naming Bowen as the dirtiest NBA player ever, that just solidifies the pussification of this generation.
Any of the Bad Boy Pistons make it? What about Rodney Harrison? Those guys are infinitely dirtier than Bowen ever was.
Yeah, you're right about that. The Pistons were basketball's version of those Raiders teams. And you can include Isiah Thomas on that list. He was chicken dirty if I've ever seen it.
