How should I describe him?
Well, let's just say that some players with more aggressive moves are labeled as "dirty," and the name "Bruce Bowen" could define "dirty."
For most perimeter players in the NBA, it's a name that makes them grind their teeth.
During this period in the league, there were few perimeter players who hadn't suffered at the hands of Bowen.
Underhanded hits, sticking out feet, sneaky grabs, kicking in the groin...
Basically, whatever dirty tricks you can think of!
The number of players he's ruined is countless, with Vince Carter being the most prominent among them.
It was his explosive power that disappeared under Bowen's repeated underfoot sticking.
And what's most disgusting is this:
At his retirement press conference, Bruce Bowen openly admitted that he did these things on purpose.
Not ashamed, but proud of it!
That was the Bruce Bowen of the lowest kind!
