  • He played good agressive in-your-face D If you can't figure out a way to score on a good defender then quit and go play golf or something instead of whining about it. Defense isn't popular in the NBA so I can understand all the little crybabies.

  • wow! Isiah Thomas cared about his players??

  • I respect Bowen as a defender. In order to be one of the best defenders in the league, like Bowen was, you have to play a little dirty and play with a chip on your shoulder. Look at Rodman, one of the best defensive players of all time. He didn't play nice and he is a Hall of Famer now. No Bowen isn't nearly as good as Rodman but people need to quit hating on "dirty" players. That's why the NBA has sort of become a baby sport where players whine when they don't get a call

  • @jcbailey90 There's a difference between tough and dirty. Dennis Rodman was tough as nails and got in the grill of people twice his size. Bowen just messes with little guards.

  • @jcbailey90 Bowen was not nearly on Scottie Pippen's level, and Pippen never got the reputation of sticking his foot underneath a jumpshooter, or kicking guys in the knee, face, what have you. Joe Dumars didn't have that reputation. Michael Cooper didn't. Dennis Johnson didn't. Bowen was a great defender, very physical, but he really deserves a lot of the criticism that he got during his playing days. You can get chippy, but you have to respect the health and safety of other players, too.

  • you guys act like you never have done anything dirty.....i do dirty shit to your mom all the time ;)

  • @BAMF7000 thats gross cuz my moms a soccer mom

  • Bowen is a dirty player but hes the greatest perimeter defensive guy .....

  • i thought what he did to Wally Sveriak was the worst

  • Bowen is a dirty player but name me one team in the NBA who would reject him if offered, he's a huge reason why SA won championships

  • LOL at Isaiah Thomas complaing about dirty play!

  • he actually did it later in that game if i remember and got steve francis injured prior to this.

  • wow i used to think bowen was cool. honestly i didnt know he did all this

  • Bruce Bowen is a dirty player. Period. 

  • isiah thomas was one of the detroit badboys :)

  • he didn't touch him.... lol I hate bowen... but he did not touch him.... people these days are blind... next you're all going to tell me that video of rondo where he jumps to the floor picks up the ball runs off and lays it in isn't a travel hah

  • 3x NBA Champion. Until anyone can top that...GTFO HATERS GONNA HATE

  • @vexed334 STFU you little shit, many players have more than 3, what did Bowen do for those rings? Kung-fu everybody on the floor? GTFO

  • @hotkayz ha look at you, all angry behind your keyboard.

  • @vexed334 I don't have tolerance for stupid shit statements, thats just who I am.

  • @vexed334 Yes, three time champion, but he is a dirty player. What does his rings have to do with him being a dirty fighter continuously

  • Popobitch

  • probably the thing i'm most proud of by isiah as coach of the knicks

  • Bruce the bich. What a sour man. That is a player that is a HATER. A Homo. What man hits another man in the groin intentionally like he did to Nash, I'll tell you. A Homosexual

  • 3 rings!

  • his retirement = greatest thing that ever happened to the nba since michael jordan was drafted

  • @mytimeiscoming get ur foot out ur mouth and ur head out ur ass.........lebron and kobe r the greatest thing that happend since mj

  • So...you think Bruce Bowen killed someone? Seriously?

  • How does that change the fact that my Spurs got three championships with him? Don't matter if anyone likes him or not.

  • If he is a "dirty" player that is fine by me. Especially with 3 championships under his belt. Maybe more players in the league should adopt his "dirty" play.

  • @dvc5150 No direspect to u, but u trippin for that comment. Kevin Garnett is dirty player u culd live with. Bruce Bowen finds ways to injure u that messes up your whole career. I completely hated this guy as soon as he ruined Steve Francis career, cuz since Bowen did this same thing in this video n made Francis land n roll his ankle he hasn't ever been the same. Also runnin full speed n kickin players in face multiple times definately isn't good defending.

  • @dvc5150 Ye. Maybe we should all go back and live in the jungles. Nice approach to a game mate. Maybe we should kill each other in the streets if that is gonna give us championships. Fine. Maybe we should end other ppls careers if that s gonna give us championships. We are for the title here. Right?

  • bowen is indeed, a total douche bag

  • @1madmann a douche with 3 rings

  • this is a joke. crawford jumped forward on the shot. is bowen just supposed to not contest the shot? this happens all the time in basketball; people just hate on bowen because the NBA is about scoring and he was one of the few players he didnt fit that build

  • Bruce Bowen is dirty, i'm sorry he shut down the best, and put players to shame. If he was dirty than why does he go into a game and not get pulled out in 10 minutes of the first quarter for 6 personal fouls???

  • i cant believe the league EVEN LETS bowen play after all these years of dirty play!

  • He's retired

  • bowen is a dirty player and his coach is d-bag for letting him pull this shit off and the nba is abunch of dumbasses for not gettin this guy for half the shit hes done

  • I don't get how people think Bowen does that on purpose. Sure he's a dirty player, but sometimes accidents happen, and sometimes people misunderstand that sometimes its not the players fault. Bowen is a more physical player than most players that play on the perimeter, and he guards players closer that most players do. Just saying, you people need to stop whining about players and plays, because sometimes, you won't know know what you get tangled up in or what part of you're body is swinging.

  • sometimes accidents happen?

    huh thats funny. must just be a big coincidence that bowen has injured more playeres and been involved in more dirty plays than any nba player in the last decade. must just be one big coincidence huh? we're all just out to get him. nothing to do with the fact that nobody else hurts as many people or kicks other players in the face.

  • everyone in san antonio knew bruce was a dirty player. But it was just so funny how he got away with it from the nba. Bruce is the best at what he does

  • bruce got it from watching isiah thomas bad boys days

  • I don't know whats sadder, bowen or the fans who think bowen is not dirty.

  • @xcstacy2

    Yeah, those big NBA championship diamonds are really "sad", brah.

    Why dont you quit talking about the word "sad", youre fucking name is "ECSTACY", meaning you NEED ECSTACY TO NOT BE SAD

  • That makes no sense at all, good try though.

  • Funny cause in his days Isiah Thomas a dirty player and now he's crying about it!

  • when you're in the game, and you're a dirty it's more accepted to do it.. I don't care WHAT Bowen's teammates say, they ALL knew he was a dirty cheap defender, when it came down to it..

  • that's why he know which one is a dirty player

  • bowen is a beeotch

  • whats with bruce against the knicks?

    lol

  • as much as i dont like isiah he was right, bruce bowens a dirty player.

  • my opinion!!!

  • Greg DickaPick should fight Isiah......

  • uh........yeah it does, you cant do any of that if your suspended

  • F*** Bowen, Ron artest is the best defensive player. Artest could stop someone from scoring 20 and score 20 himself in one game. Bowen just injures players and only gets like 5 points per game.

  • Artest will also go into the stands and fight with the fans!! What a great teammate!!

  • that doesnt take anything away from his talent and his ability to play great defense and offense.

  • no...Shane Battier is a better defender than RON..can RON stop Kobe by himself?..no!..

  • nobody can stop kobe by himself

  • lol..T.Prince shuted down Kobe in 2004 championship

  • Courtney Lee did a damn good job. Extra impressive with him being a rookie during 08-09' season.

  • I agree with the courtney lee comment.

  • uhh shane battier couldn't do that either

  • Ron Artest fanboy much? He's super overrated defensively. Jermaine O'neal was the best defensive player on the pacers the year he won dpoy and Artest is a 3rd man at best offensively.

  • Yeah, you break his damn ankle Bruce Bowen whooo!!!!

  • dirty ass player defense sucks how many times has kobe dropped 40 on this bitch

  • uuuh idk how many time si lost count lol

  • best and dirtiest too

  • i didnt c nun dirty

  • Bowen put his foot right were Crawford was gonna land so that he would fall off balance and possibly get hurt.

  • i am a fan of the spurs but i hate bruce bowen!

  • well luckily for you, he's not on the spurs anymore. Bruce Bowen is a great defender but there's no doubt he steps on toes.

  • your lucky hes gone, now hes on my team (milwaukee..)

  • Fuck Bruce Bowen. He is a dirty player and his defense is overrated.

  • wow, bowen made this whole fight..

    dirty

  • hey bowen defenders, take your god damn heads out of your asses. do you think we are making this shit up? wake the fuck up, bowen is a dirty player. FACT.

  • @awolfeld not defending him... but whether or not he is a dirty player is strictly subjective and opinion.... lol

  • Comment removed

  • he puts his foot underneath crawford so that when he lands he has a good chance at rolling his ankle

    not a foul....just not clean

  • LOL CHRIS LOLROFLFOAL!

  • bowen so does that on purpose

  • bowen doesnt play dirty, he just sucks at defense

  • Lmao what are you saying you idiot.

  • Pop would have kicked Isiah's butt all the way back to New York!!

  • i see alot of videos of bruce bowen doing some stupid shit lmao

  • rockuzone u and all the other haters can suck my big balls

  • Chris bowen is the materazi of basketball

  • lol chris?

  • hahaha....chris

  • bowen is one dirty son of a bitch he has a library of dirty plays on this shit

  • bowen is da dirtiest... nba needs to come down on dat dirt bagg... he's still trying to injure players on routine shots... its dirty when u try to end a career of a younger player. he's 36... and trying to end careers even before it starts... he's a shamless bitch ..hey bowen... . retire, no one wants u in any trade....

  • Bruce Bowen is a dirty player we know but i think that play was misunderstood. He was putting his hand at Jamal's face to guard and obviously if you tried that in real life. Your foot will definitely 1 to 2 feet from the shooter when he goes down. As for Jamal, he shoots like a little bit curvy like so his leg will be on the line when he takes a three points near the line.

  • real basketball heads don't give bowen respect. he's dirty trash and full of bitchassness

  • really? Cause Kobe said Bowen was the best 1 on 1 perimeter defender in the NBA. And when asked if Bowen was dirty, Kobe laughed and said "no".

  • Without argument, Kobe is the most popular player in the league. So if Bowen tried to cause an injury to Kobe, it will cause an outrage and he would probably get suspended. The reason why Bowen wasn't suspended throughout his whole dirty career was because he didn't try to injure Kobe or Lebron. Btw, I'm not a fan of any bandwagon superstars like Kobe and Lebron.

  • Jerry Davis should be an NBA coach

  • Say wat u want about Isiah Thomas' managing and coaching skills, but u gotta give him props 4 calling out Bowen and his cheating ass.

  • i wonder what bowen does on a street pickup game

  • get knocked da fuck out lol

  • He is not a defender, he goes out to hurt people and that is shit, fuck him, but I am sure he is laughing all the way to the bank which is sad!

  • first of all i can't count how many players wanna kick the shit outta bowen. u can read about it they complain he puts his feet down on yours so u can twist your ankle. he fly kicks punches kicks. look what he did to chris paul.. like a lil bitch. fuck bowen and fuck the spurs

  • Not intentional if it was LeBron James you would say it was an accedent

  • this is bullshit. take a look at his fucking jumper bro. he jumps a full foot almost two towards the basket and bruce lands unerneath himself. i think the shooter was trying to draw a gay foul... and he landed with his feet well ahead of him. besides, bruce wasn't even looking

    this is the only argument shitty teams have against the spurs. very winey and gay.

  • bowen's feet are even behind his body

  • Bowen is a dirty defender and the Spurs play dirty overall didint deserve the championship and played very dirty against the suns with hack a shaq!

  • funny. did you watch the game fri 30th? the suns were fouling bruce bowen for the same strategy. and one player shouldn't make ur team. shaq should learn to make a fucking free throw, he gets paid more than most everyone on the spurs.

    cry bitch

  • Lmao shaq is to strong to make a free throw its like me and you tryin to a basketball on 1 of those mini basketball hoops its hard for his size so shut the fuxk up.

  • wow ur gay and must love the suns.. which is very fitting. i can make a free throw on a mini hoop alot easier than a standard goal. and neither of us make MILLIONS to do it.

    plus, you probably fucking suck.

  • ugh no point in arguing with an internet thug. Get a life buddy

  • ur right. u suck at basketball

  • Cry bitch? wow

  • cry bitch.

  • i am not a bitch and i have no reason to cry it's not like im some ugly wigger who thinks he can DJ.

  • ok, stop crying then bitch

  • Bowen is a bitch and deserves to be officially bitch slapped dirty mutherfucca! Damn taebo karate kid reject. I'll fuccin pee on him

  • god i fucking hate popavich...he's such a dirty mother fucker and teaches his players to do the same

  • The ankle breaking foot slide is a well known technique of the Kung-Fu master Bruce Bowen.

  • You mean the Kung-Fu-LL of shit cheap-shot artist!

  • the common denominator of a lot of injuries, altercations, even practically ended the careers or at least slowed down some careers is BRUCE BOWEN. Something has to be done about this asshole. I emailed the league 'bout it, what have you done?

  • bowen thinks hes slick isaih been played in the league that nigga know what u wuz trying to do

  • Isiah Thomas would of fucked Greg Poppabitch ass up

  • Um.... I've seen more than 5 clips of Bowen sticking his feet under players! That ain't no simple physics! That's a dirty f***ing player!

  • What the fuck are you on? Artest nor Fisher aren't as dirty as Bowen. Artest is the best defender in the NBA. Plus there isn't 30000 clips of Artest being a dirty player, but theres 30000 clips of Bowen and his dirty antics. Look up Bruce Bowen. He dropkicked Wally Scerbiak, Punched Chris Paul, Undercuts players on their jumpshots and knees Steve Nash in the Balls.

  • you couldn't have said it any better. Youtube provides proof that bowen is a dirt bag. Roger only says that artest is dirty solely because of the incident in detroit which happened only once but now ron is staying out of trouble...

  • Yea tdvu, Artest made one mistake and has moved on. It is clear he regrets what he has done. Bowen has made many dirty plays, and you're right: Youtube provides the proof.

  • datz yy hes 1 of da best defenders in da gamee

    lol

  • RogerArocha nigga who is who yo huff ass aint playing 4 the spurs + Bowen a bitch if i was in the nba i would crack his ass if my team didnt mk the playoffs ill tk the suspension 2 fk his ass up

  • uhmm.... bruce bowen just jumped and landed there... that happens when you jump forward to try blocking someone... it's just simple physics

  • You act like that's the first time Bowen has ever tried to roll someone's ankle by sliding his foot under?! Maybe it wasn't intentional on that play but if you're denying Bowen's the dirtiest player in the game, you're fucking crazy!

  • Bowen is known for undercutting guys, but he didn't do it there. Thomas was just looking for another way to divert attention away from his horrible coaching.

  • i dont like bruce bowen but he wasnt dirty on that play to tell you the truth

    isiah thomas just took it to far

    he was not dirty on that play

  • i hate isaiah thomas but bruce bowen is a dirty son of a bitch. he was right on that

  • what the fuk? i saw no cutting of under

  • RayAllenBestShooter-are u from seattle bcause if u are u wouldnt be seeing him anymore. but if ur from boston, please tell the celtics to kick the spurs' asses!

  • ...where was the undercut?

  • dude is so dirty. im telling you.

  • bowen always act like he's innocent. dirty player !

  • as a die hard knick fan, ive seen this faggot bruce bowen injure steve francis by doin tha same thing

  • Isiah was about to (Greg) POP-A-BITCH!

  • he does that every game

  • next time i see this guy at a game i swear im gonna throw shit at him and start swinging at him

  • Knicks and Thomas = weren't gonna do shit but lose

    Bowen = owning Knicks

    Pop = woulda beat that gay sounding ni99az ass

  • This is probably the only time I have ever agreed with Isiah. Thats such a dirty move, Bowen needs a taste of his own medicine.

  • Jamal Crawford is so soft just let the guy upper cut him!! I would've come face to face if I was him!!

  • yea but this is a basketball court not a prison cell, u gotta learn how to maintain urself and discipline urself someday, callin a guy soft cuz he chooses to not fight is dumb

  • SPURS ARE CHEATORS OMG

  • Just like your mom.

  • THATS HOW WE PLAY D BOWEN #1 DEFENDER

  • the spurs always cause drama im tired off seeing i think that 2005 championship was enough

  • Isiah Thomas...HELL YEAH BABY

  • when it said undercut i thought crawford was tyrin 2 dunk and buowen came under

  • same

  • he is a great defender, but all this shit could end careers!

    what he does to francis, carter etc. could end really horrible

    and that has nothing to do with defense!

  • thats so dangerous man as anyone who plays basketball can tell you.. the league needs to do sth about bowen i kno he's a great defender and all but still..

  • i agree,that is well dangerous i shud know it happened 2 me i sprained my right ankle badly only 2 have it happen 2 me again 2 weeks later on my left ankle and i have been out 4 3 months and still not fit yet.well pissed off.

  • That's a really tough one, that's why I hated Bowen so much for doin' it... Well, my best advice to you is to work on practicing "set shots" instead of "Jump Shots", it's much more safer...

  • i don't think that most players mean to do an undercut but it's just what happens when you contest a shot you can't have your feet out when you land..or else your face is gonna be where his balls are at

  • Tj-Crawford-Danillo-Charlie V - Eddy C

    46-36

    David Lee to raptors for Tj

    Pick Danillo with pick

    Trade Dan Gadzuric D-Mase Charlie V for Randolph and future 1st round pick

  • he didnt try ti injure him yall r all morons

  • all these players burce bowen attempted to injure.

    nash, stoudemaire, francis, carter, paul ETC.

    years later when all the players have retired including bowen they will form a group.

    The KBA(Kick Bowens ASS!!!) and theyll find bowen and beat the shit out of him

  • ad wally szczerbiak LOL

  • 2 tha list

  • I'd pay to watch that

  • He hasn't ended any careers yet, but if you notice he picks out star players...he kneed steve nash in the balls, purposely tried to break vince carter, steve francis, amare stoudamire, and allen iverson's ankles, kicked ray allen in the back, mushed chris paul in the face and then kicked him...twice no less...is it gonna take a career ending shot to get rid of him? And let's not forget that wally kick to the face...funny as hell but just straight brutal. Nice accuracy though

  • Zeke should've beaten Suchadick's cratered face in. Would've been the only good move he had in New York lol

  • Zeke can't coach to save his life, but I'll give him props for calling out Bowen for that crap
