How did Bruce Bowen get so many votes?

[EricB]

It looks like to me that an enormous amount of voters voted for a San Antonio straight ticket. Duncan, Manu, Tony and Bowen all had a crazy amount more votes this year than they did last year. It doesn't totally explain the Bowen situation, but it's part of it.

Whats funny is Spurs fans are known for not voting often enough.

It's pretty simple if you ask me

For years, Bruce has been the best one on one defender, but people were overcome by his shadow of cheating supposedly. Now when when Spurs play Mavs, or Lakers, or Any Rivalry team of which Bruce guarded their best player, it's kind of dull.

REmember how intense the kobe/bruce rivalry was, Bruce use to make kobe take a lot of shots to get his points, not all the time, but he was pretty damn good, kobe even said bruce was the best defender he's played against.

I think now people miss the guy

[EricB]

That is unreal.

I just have to wonder if there is a problem or discrepency.

my gf is a teacher at a school here in sa. the san antonio schools had a contest as to how many paper ballots they could turn in. the most ballots supposedly would have the spurs or the coyote visit. that could be the explanation

That is all kinds of awesomeness. I'm praying that they do it again next year. And next year...they'll also have the diligent, tireless help of SpursTalk

Next year, since he isn't a starter anymore, Bowen probably won't be on the ballot.

Brilliant strategy by the Spurs, though, to get the schools involved. They need to expand it next year, and have Coyote visits promised for the top 5 schools, ballot wise. That would get more schools revved up. A smaller school that may not think they can get the most ballots filled out may go all out to make the top 5, seeing that as a makeable goal.

Told you so. The Spurs have groups who punch ballots for them but who do not actually attend the game.

And? People who vote online don't attend the games, either.

I would assume for all the people that like players like Kobe, Lebron, whoever there's also a lot of haters. Bruce Bowen is the an hesis of those guys, not flashy, just a strong defender who gets under their skin. I'm sure there's more than one reason thou why all the spurs went up in votes.

I heard he put out a blog stating anyone that didn't vote for him was getting a kick to the face like Wally got.

I, for one, voted for him out of sheer fear of that.

the biggest one is that the game will be in PHOENIX!

EVERY team does it. I live in Houston and saw a news report on it.

I watched a Portland game on League Pass and THEY did a report on it.

It's not cheating and its not wrong, so don't even go there.
