Yes he should have his number retired. He was a major part of 3 championships.
Poll down?
Trying to blow some time before the late game tonight and Manu getting inked up for 3 more years it made me think that Duncan,Ginobili and Parker will all be up in the rafters pretty soon.
Now the question remains... since Bowen retired this year should the spurs hang Bruce Bowen's #12 in the rafters in the near future?
Retiring someones # is supposed to go to exceptional players from your franchise... I know many didn't agree with Avery's # getting retired but do you guys think Bowen has done enough to deserve this privilege?
Retired Numbers:
00-Johnny Moore
06-Avery Johnson
13-James Silas
32-Sean Elliott
44-George Gervin(hof)
50-David Robinson(hof)

If AJ's up there, Bruce is three times as deserving, IMHO.

Isn't there already a thread about this? . . . and, yes . . . rafters. 100%.
men lie women lie numbers dont lie
yeah.
'nuff said
case closed.
yes to #12!
yes, Bruce should be up there! Can we add Robert Horry since he helped with 2005 and 2007 Championships!
Definately no doubt about it. I just think that numbers should be retired for everyone, but more like just your jersey up in the rafters with your name.
And havent been here in a few does. LOVE the new look. awesome job!
Yes.
Bowen deserves to be right up there along Tim, Tony, and Manu. He was an integral part of three championship runs and the Spurs community for a decade, and it's hard to include guys like Elliott and Johnson and not think about #12.
If Avery '3 decent years' Johnson is up there then Bruce had better ing be up there.
AJ hit a 12 foot jumpshot and hes touted as this great player. Bruce was covering the best perimeter players in the league every night and winning those battles.
I think they should pull Avery's down & put Bruce's up!

Bowen's number will be retired.
The only real question is when. I believe he'll have to wait until after #21 is up there.
+10000000. Bruce was a MAJOR piece to 3 championships, so if AJ is up there for being a part of one, Bruce damn well better be up there for being a main reason for 3 of those banners hanging up there.
IMO, it should be very exclusive but since AJ is already up there then I agree with the following:
What the kinda question is this, this is like asking if soulja boy sucks ass, the asnwer will always be yes
You don't see many players who can literally shut down a top 5 scorer in the league on a given night.
Bowen did it night after night. Pippen is revered for his defense, but Bowen has to be one of the best 2 guard defenders that ever played. His D was absolutely lock down.
yes.... Not Great Stats... But He Did All The dirty Work For us!
I don't really know how a lot of Spurs fans seem to think he doesn't deserve it..no-brainer to me..
The problem going forward with the Spurs will be that retiring AJ's jersey might have set a precedent..a lot of guys in the future could look more deserving just compared to Avery, since I don't believe he necessarily deserves to have his number up there..
no doubt
Yep.
The 1999 team has Robinson, Avery, and Sean
The 2003, 2005, 2007 teams will have Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and Bowen.
pop will lobby to get finleys number up there... although finley probably hurt his chances by asking for a buyout.
