Bruce Bowen jersey retirement ceremony thread

[timtonymanu]

If this is how it is for Bruce, I cant even imagine how ill feel for Timmys when it comes around.......

Don't even want to think about that yet

[Kori Ellis]

Is it me or was he holding back tears towards the end ?

He was crying at the beginning and the end -- I'm sure at least half the crowd was crying too. He did a really good job with his speech.

Love that the spurs are so family oriented. Tim was holding bruces son like he was his own.

wtf duncan was his bff apparently and no speech?

If you havent noticed in the 15 years...Tims not big on public speaking.

[DesignatedT]

Good stuff. #12 will be hanging in the rafters forever now

Lucky for me it was shown on tv though I was a little late in tuning in

Bruce's two kids and Tim's two kids are the same ages (4 and 6, I believe) and their families spend a lot of time together.

Hopefully someone will YouTube it.

This is why I love my spurs

Watching Timmy trying to cheer up Bruce's son was great. These guys are all like family, and it's a beautiful thing to see. I'm tearing up a little...not gonna lie.

That ceremony was awesome. #12 belongs up there in the rafters, no doubt about it. He helped put 3 of those 4 banners up there.... Fans of other teams may never be able to understand exactly what Bruce meant to the Spurs, but them, all that matters is that his coaches, teammates, and us Spurs fans know that without him, some of those championship banners may not even be up there....

Very little. I expect a "Thanks everyone for your support and coming out, it was fun" at Tim's own ceremony.

I wouldnt be suprised if it was a 4 min speech as opposed to Bruces 20.
