I heard that Bowen was the one who shot Julius Hodge when he was a rookie.
So you decide which is worse: nut-punching or gun play?
No doubt. There are also some Spurs fans out there that if Bowen stabbed someone on the court, they would still yell "Good D!"
My point is that as much as there are homers yelling for Bowen simply because he is a Spur, there are haters yelling against Bowen simply because he is a Spur.

Technically, isn't nut-punching a form of gun play?
"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for pleasure and this is for fun!"
This is the main reason why I love Bowen. He's so edgy and controversial and pisses people off and doesn't give a who he pisses off. He's not scared of anybody.
While people hate Bowen because he is on the Spurs, they would all love him if he was playing for them. You don't win a championship with nice guys, you need someone to give you an edge, someone who can get inside the heads of the opposition. That's how it's always been.
Spurs have Bowen; the Heat had Patyon, Zo, Posey; the Pistons had Chauncey, Ben, Sheed; the Bulls had Rodman and Horace Grant, and Jordan himself was no angel on the court.
Now, is Bowen dirty? You betcha, probably the Lambeer of this generation.
Although I would disagree with the Laimbeer comparison. Bruce is very subtle, Bill was very blatant and didn't care who saw!
Bowen's job is to come in and harrass ppl. That is the mission Pop has given him.
CP3, was acting like a little . Job well done Bruce.
Bowen has been known to eat small children too...
Ok, see this is the other side of the coin. What was CP3 doing that was making him a ???? Winning a game???
Some dude just wrote that Spurs fans would say "Good D" even if Bowen stabbed someone, and you are one of them. Can't you admit that Bowen is dirty to a certain extent.
Bowen is dirty as all , but a good guy off the court...
Any fan would want him on their team, but hate him when he's playing against their team...
well duh..... Bowen always guards the opposition's best perimeter player.
Everybody knows this...
True, Bill was very blatant. but it was a different era, when that kind of roughness was expected to a certain extent. Now everyone is trying to be nice, trying to get some of the corporate money with endorsments, so no one does it in the open.

But Bruce is still the best at getting in the opposition's head in the league right now. He sometimes takes it a little too far, with Ray Allen for example, when he stick his foot underneath. That should be punishable to the greatest degree.
If someone punched me in the nuts while I was standing over him I'd kick his ass away from me, too. If anyone's going to get suspended, it's Paul.
of course, Bruce is the victim.
CP3 kept crying to the refs while game was in play. Spur players wait at least until game is stopped to complain
yeah you and the world can keep saying Bowen is dirty. Truth is, everyone would love Bowen in their team. So we love Bowen. end of story.
Look at the video. He got punched. I know as a Mavericks fan, you think that's a perfectly valid way to deal with a scamble for the ball, but the rulebook says otherwise.of course, Bruce is the victim.
Go hit a few lines, cokehead.
So did Bowen deserve to get punched?
Um No. Bowen is like Barry Bonds. He's only liked by San Antonio fans. Try that crap in the Playoffs and someone is going to use that smoothly shaved penis head as a bowling ball.CP3 kept crying to the refs while game was in play. Spur players wait at least until game is stopped to complain

The tough talk from the bottle-throwers is always good for a laugh.
Since they changed the rules because of him, yet he's never been called for it, it sounds like yet more bitter hysteria from those who don't like Bruce shutting down their superstars.
Like the OP said, it's Bowen's "reputation" on display, not his actual behavior or history.
I really don't think he was trying to punch bowen other than scramble for the ball, bowen wasn't being delicate either
And for anything a Mav might have done on the court, Bowen has surpassed them.
Look i don't care that he is dirty, I said it that every team needs guys like these if they are going to win, but it is irritating when people in here say that he is only playing good d.
So Chris Paul, who has actually punched someone on the court before, deserves benefit of the doubt (despite video evidence to the contrary) yet Bowen doesn't get a pass for retaliating because he wasn't being "delicate". Gotcha.
Defensively? Yes. Big game performance? Yes. Dirty play? Not even close. Dirk just served a game suspension for a flagrant 2. Bowen never has.
Since you keep trying to make him out to be dirty, despite evidence to the contrary, you obviously care. When there's some evidence that he does something other than play good D then I'll be there to criticize him for it.
