  Viewed in isolation, most of Bowen's incidents could be rationalized as innocent misunderstandings.  But too many players (and coaches) have accused Bowen of being dirty
   and there have been too many incidents for anyone to argue otherwise.  Where there's smoke, there's fire, right? At some point, he's going to pay for this stuff, I think...

  Somebody should hit him in the nose or give him a good kick in the ass when he is headed down the court.

    From the old J.E. Skeets blog: The only thing Bruce Bowen can’t stop is a Chuck Norris’ roundhouse kick to the face.

Reason #2,643 to Hate Bruce Bowen
Fanster.com — The kick is reason #2,642. It's the holding up of the arms and the proclamation of innocence that makes my blood boil. Bruce, you kicked him. Everyone saw it. Everyone hates your friggin' guts. Thank you, Basketbawful. More reasons to hate Bruce Bowen: ...

MASTER BRUCE IS A MASTER DOUCHEBAG
I *Heart* Celtics — The NBA's resident cheap shot artist has struck again. Watch him kick Chris Paul in the ribs twice with his hands up in the air. Master Bruce has made his career on being the only guy willing to knee people in the junk, kick people in the back, deliberately break people's ankles, undercut people while they're fully extended, and, of course, kick people in the face. Bruce Bowen is a menace that needs to be suspended whenever he tries to pull these kinds of shenanigans. While the NBA goes friggin' bananas if somebody leaves the bench or throws a ...

Bowen Doesn't Like Being Called a Dirty Player
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog — Bruce Bowen is quoted on MySA as saying that he is upset at being thought of as a dirty player. This is in the wake of a suspension for kicking Chris Paul in a recent game. If that was the only incident, he may have a point. However, he has a history of dirty plays and doing things in games that could hurt players. I went to YouTube ...

Game #66 - Recap: Celtics @ Spurs
CelticsBlog — Great win for the Celtics last night in San Antonio. It is always good to beat the defending champs. And even though the Spurs are reeling, losers of four straight, they terrify me because they will do anything to win. Outside of Tony Parker and Manu "How the hell did I not make the All Star Game?" Ginobili San Antonio plays like a bunch of old guys who know every trick in the book. Some thoughts on last night's game: ...

TOP 5 BRUCE BOWEN BLACK BELT MOMENTS
The World of Isaac — Bruce Bowen struck again tonight. Though, this is more of a love tap than anything else, it will add to his growing legend. But I wonder, when is the NBA going to realize that Bruce Bowen isn't playing for his contract but rather for a black belt. Because at the Cobra Kai Dojo where Bowen trains, his sensei demands that of him.... ...

Bruce Bowen: Dirtiest player since John Stockton?
7 Game Series — So many analysts and bloggers have been talking defense lately. We’re coming up on the playoffs, and the focus is starting to shift from Lebron and Kobe’s 40 point games to good lock down defense and winning. John Hollinger’s All-Defense article today had his picks for his All-Defense team. I was happy to see Shane Battier getting some run, and almost as happy to see someone edge out Bruce Bowen, the man that may be the dirtiest player in the NBA today. A video posted today on Odenized of Bruce Bowen cheap shotting Amare Stoudemire. As everyone who has any idea who Bruce Bowen knows, this isn’t that ...

No Defending Bruce Bowen's Latest Infraction on Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire
HoopsVibe NBA Blog — Why You Can’t Defend Bruce Bowen’s Latest Infraction on Phoenix’s Amare Stoudemire [image] The AM Take: You can t teach old dogs new tricks. That s what I thought watching Bruce Bowen forearm Amare Stoudemire during Wednesday s San Antonio-Phoenix game. If you missed it, the Spurs-Suns game was decided, when San Antonio s super-pest nailed STAT with a lethal forearm that left him hunched over like a drunken teenager on a Saturday evening bender. In Bowen s defence, (yes, I can say that without feeling like Johnny Cochrane or Jackie Chiles) guards are taught to use their forearm to ward off on-the-ball screens in the open-court. Bowen s problem is precedence. ...

The Foul..I Mean..The Flop..
The Free Throw Line — I’ve noticed that throughout these playoffs the “flops” have certainly picked up and it just makes me sick.  Kirilenko’s flop on the Louis Scola “foul” may have won the Jazz the game.  Was it a foul? You can argue yes, but it was for sure the flop that sold it. Manu Ginobli is notorious for his flopping and could be one of the worst in the league.  After seeing this garbage in the playoffs and regular season year after year, it gave me an idea to try and put together an “All NBA Flopper Team.”  Andrei Kirilenko (Utah Jazz: #47: Power Forward) Oh boy do have I found some good stuff ...

Who Suns Fans Should Root For In Western Conference Finals
Fanster.com — What would you do if you were forced to choose between having to fund Charles Barkley’s gambling or wash Jason Giambi’s thong after an extended slump? For Suns fans that decision is easier than picking a team to root for in the western conference finals. Kobe and the Lakers versus Duncan and the Spurs. It hurts just to read it, let alone watch it right? As a Suns fan who do you root for? You have to weigh the options and look at each facet of these two evil powerhouse franchises to truly be able to make a decision (Yes it’s tough to spend more than five seconds thinking about either team but come on we ...

Bust a Bucket - A Portland Trail Blazers Blog — With the playoffs drawing near and games increasing with intensity, what better time then now to unveil the bloggers top 10 most hated NBA Players?  We at Bust a Bucket used a very advanced method of basketball calculations to find out exactly who the top 10 players were.

I'd like to start off by thanking all of the websites who helped us complete the list: Empty The ...

Flagrant Moments From Bruce Bowen's Illustrious Career
No Guts, No Glory — The NBA lost an one of a kind yesterday with the retiring of Bruce Bowen. Whether you thought he was dirty or a defensive genius, there was no one like in the him in the recent era of the NBA. He had an ol' school vibe to his game that only Bill Laimbeer could appreciation. So to pay homage to Laimbeer's favorite player, here's some of the moments that will linger on from Bruce Bowen's career. The kick that Wally Szczerbiak will never forget Tripping was a weapon for ...

Was Bruce Bowen A Dirty Player?
Project Spurs - A San Antonio Spurs Blog and Podcast — Bruce Bowen's retirement was probably met with cheers from around the league, including both opposing players and fans. The cheers were probably the loudest in Phoenix. With Bowen retiring, it is only fitting to look back and try to decide his legacy. Unfortunately it is a legacy that is up for debate. On one hand we have an eight-time all-defensive team player who was one of the game's premier lock-down defenders of his generation. Kobe Bryant routinely said that Bowen defended him better than any other player. On the other hand we have players such as Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki calling Bowen a dirty player, which is the ...

Sunday Six Pack: Jordan, AI, Kobe and Bruce
NBAMate — I’m in the Philippines at the moment for work, and I woke up this morning to find a photo of Robert Horry and Vlade Divac on the front page of the newspaper. A little weird, yes, but as I said last year (exactly one year ago) this country loves their basketball. I took it as a sign that I should update this blog. Yeah, about freaking time. ONE: If you haven’t already seen Michael Jordan’s HOF induction speech, it’s worth a look. Was it gracious? Was it shocking? Was it downright arrogant? Make up your own mind, but there’s a few pieces floating around the ...
