I always thought that during his prime years he gave us a big 4 but that's my opinion.

Go Spurs Go
I think you mean epitomize.

I'm still furious that he undercut Vince Carter and made him injure his ankle. He won't be missed.

Vince Carter = overrated bum. He might as well hurt both ankles.

Overrated. He was an elite player for a while. Some of the things said in Sports and Training are ridiculous. Bowen did the same thing to Ray Allen as well.

Elite Player. Hes decent. Not a complete bum, but I think most people have his flashy dunking mistaken for being elite. He's not a complete player. Not even close bro.

word...vince carter is an incredible athlete but he relies on it too much...he hasnt adjusted his game to fit his age since he has lost a bounce or two...
All you do is watch the Lakers because Vince Carter has a jumpshot. He still has bounce left in his legs. He adjusted his game to compensate forwhat he lost. He rarely takes it to the basket anymore. What games are you watching?
 
%**% this dirty **% player.

I appreciate defense, but he lost all credibility in my book for his dirty plays. It can clearly be seen in the vid that he intentionally hurts/tries to hurtother players - I don't see how anyone can still respect him after that.

I swear, people on this board talk about the NBA being soft and going back to the 80's (as if they've grown up watching those games), yet when one guy basically comes from the same mold, they call him dirty and hate of him? Make up your damn minds already.

Co-Sign, especially this part, I don't get people sometimes.

I love playing defense, and Bowen is someone who did that very well, I admire him for that. Except for some of the things he did with bad intentions, but yougot to respect him anyways.

VC over time has relied more on the jumpshot because of the fact he has gotten older. What SG hasn't done this? Jordan has, Kobe has, name a SG who hasaged... they've done it.

As for being an elite player... he was & still is. Look up the stats. How you average 20, 5, & 4 this past season & nto be elite is beyond me.Averging 23, 5 & 4 for his career isn't elite?

Judging an elite player you have to look at numbers, & his are there. While VC's team success hasn't been great his whole career, that doesn'tmean he autimatically isn't an elite player.

I'd consider him a complete player. Early in his career, he was a dunker... & known for his dunking (obviously). Over time, his numbers & teamsuccess have gotten better. While the dunking slowly lessened over time, the all around game developed more.

Anyway, as for Bowen... Never was a fan. His retirement doesn't matter much to me.

edit: uh, i did post this on the Bowen topic right? got confused with the VC arguement above my post

Did this clown really say that VC is considered elite because of his dunking?

Anyway, I'm glad to see Bruce Bowen retire. One of my least favorite NBA players.
