Wish we had video. That would great video to watch.
Adrian Wojnarowski just now on the Jim Rome show said during the 2006 Olympic training camps James was acting like a Primadonna with Staff and coaches & Bowen was the only one to call him out on it.

No wonder Bruce didn't amke the team...lol!!!!!!!!
No surprise that bowen would do so.
BUT I have to admit it seems that yahoo Andy has beef with lebron ...not Skip Bayless level ...but there is SOMETHING.
I'm all for calling out any player when they deserve it, even MJ with his HOF speech ...but it needs to be legit.
Wojnarowski is starting to look like a LeBron hater all of a sudden. I agree with his point about The Decision, but bringing this stuff out now sounds just butthurt.
Now's the time to leech on LeBron's popularity if you're in the media anyway.
Explains how Tayshaun Prince got the wing defender role on that team.

From Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski to managing director Jerry Colangelo to NBA elders, the issue of James’ immaturity and downright disrespectfulness had become a consuming topic on the march to the Olympics.

Get number 12 into the rafters ASAP...
ElNono - I can't stop watching that gif. I remember that play.
that was the one where Hill tossed it to RJ and he made the game winner right?
Yes! It was against the Thunder last season. Wish I could find a youtube of it.
EDIT: Here you go... game recap

No wonder Bowen got cut so fast.
Can't find original commentary though.
Thanks. Just updated my post with the game recap.
Not too far past the heels of the 2007 Finals, where LBJ took 90 shots to come up with 88 points, Bruce had a pretty solid basis for calling him out (and pretty solid standing to do it, too).
this is about the 2006 worlds not about the 2008 Olympics... IIRC Bowen was the last cut of the 2006 worlds and wasn't part of the pre tournament team in 2008
Yep Bruce called out his ass, as we found out it's something 12 is good at after the Mike Bascik thing, then was given the chance to dominate his ass on the quest for 4. Must have been a pleasure to take Le down.
What else is Woj going to write about? Basketball is out of season and Lebron leaving is the story of the decade.
Besides, I like reading the stories. He's got some great sources.
My bad. R.I.F.this is about the 2006 worlds not about the 2008 Olympics... IIRC Bowen was the last cut of the 2006 worlds and wasn't part of the pre tournament team in 2008
Baby's been keeping me up too late.
Bowen has always been the one with a chatty mouth... Just watching him before games.. always talking to people. I like the guy.
i don't know why people find all of Lebron's antics surprising. he's a little that probably undermined a lot of coaches, including Mike Brown. all that picture-posing that he did before games, etc. you don't think Mike Brown didn't want that?
Lebron. dude is a tool who hasn't won . most overrated athlete i've ever seen, seriously. as good as he is, he's WAY overrated.
+1 Bruce deserves it.
i remember that season where spurs played the cavs regular season, they beat us 2-0, and lebron had a dunk nutts in ur face to duncan...everyone was raving about it and , top dunk of the year etc
funni how spurs sweep these jackasses in the finals
I bet this shocked poor LeBron.
I wonder how long it had been since someone told him to quit acting like a baby and he wasn't as great as he thought he was. I wonder how many people have told him that since this too.
maybe he just got this info
