Bowen's been a more important player to this team than Horry.
If you retire Bowen, you have to retire Horry.
would you retire Horry's #5?
Bowen's been a more important player to this team than Horry.
No you don't. Bowen's been a starter for the better part of the decade, he's been the ultimate iron man, and he's been the key to shutting down Kobe and various other perimeter threats. Horry has certainly hit some big shots and made some heady plays, but he's only been here since '04, and he's played limited minutes. Horry is a reach.
Bowen, however, is a mortal lock.
Why? Horry's a role player - Bowen's central to our success. Not saying that Horry hasn't been important but he's not the chess piece Bowen's been. That said, I'm on the fence as far as retiring his jersey. At the end of the day, I think his defense and contribution has to be acknowledged and I say yes.
Bowen is the symbol of everything the Spurs system stands for: defense, toughness, coming to work everyday, professionalism, being a role model off the court, making a commitment to the community, sacrificing personal glory for the team, etc. If they don't retire his number it would be a travesty.
no, maybe if he wins one more.Horry no,and I don't think a.j. deserves to have his jersey retired he was just a fan favorite.I remember when Ginobili was first introduced at a press conference holding up that #6 jersey and the following day alot of spurs fans started complaining a.j's jersey should be retired.Spurs front office didn't think a.j. should have his # retired.#9,#20,and #21 will be up there without argument.
I don't think we'll retire Horry's jersey, maybe, but I wouldn't put good money on it. That being said, I think Horry could be considered for the Hall of Fame, while Bruce, maybe not so much. Not saying that Bruce isn't great, I just don't think he will recieve the recognition he deserves. At least, he hasn't yet....DPOY?
Bowen has been here in San Antonio for much of his career, if u say that we retire Horry's Jersey its like saying that chicago and us should be retiring Steve Kers Jersey..
I personally think yes.
WOW I FORGOT #44 to my post
SORRY GEORGE!
I think Walter Berry should get his jersey retired as soon as possible.
We should retire Scola's jersey
YEs he deserves it.
Of course.
I'm trying to tell myself that the question was honestly just trying to find out the re s who would say no.
He is a Spur HOFer. Just not an NBA HOFer if you can understand what I'm saying.
Most definitely.
Yes!
It would be a nice way to reward a hard worker and a key player for that team.
Yes, I will be pissed if Spurs don't do it.
Why the is Horry a part of the bundle? We're having a bruce talk here.

Yes.
yeah. ^^
and YES to the jersey question.
No. Bowen is not worthy. A one dimensional player should not have his jersey retired.
Bowen is over rated on here. Spurs would have won anyways without him and another average defender with a better offensive game.
Retired jerseys should only be for players worthy of the hall of fame.
What is it that 6 straight all-Defensive teams that Spurs fans don't understand?
Spurs without Bruce.
Spurs with Bruce.
