<div class="quote_poster">Karma Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Bowen is the dirtiest player in the league. How is Kobe comparable to Bowen?? When's the last time Kobe kicked a player in the back while they were on the ground (Bowen to Ray Allen)? When's the last time he kneed someone in the groin (Nash)? Kobe has hit others before (Mike Miller comes to mind), but most of those were out of frustration and in the heat of the moment. Bowen has done his tricks REPEATEDLY since he joined the Spurs.</div> What I meant was if you compare the two, he's a dirty player. But I never said Bowen was dirty to begin with. He's just smart. Was Rodman a dirty player? He did the exact same things that Bowen does except Bowen guards jumpshooters so he's more spread around on the court and there's more he can do. But Rodman did whatever he could to gain an advantage whether it was to flop, talk trash and piss off his opponent, or take cheap shots at them when ever he could. But still people know Rodman is arguably the best rebounder ever and one of the best defenders ever.

You're hate for Kobe really blocks you're mental functions <font color=""Blue"">because if you're implying that Kobe Bryant is dirty compared to Bruce Bowen, <font color=""Red"">there is no room on this website for you.</font> Bruce Bowen is the dirtiest player in the league, hands down.</font> A couple of pops to the face by Kobe don't even come close to making him one of the dirtiest players in the league. Kobe's flops serve no purpose? For years he pulled the same flopping motion and managed to get a foul called on the defender, that right there is a purpose. Secondly, you think Kobe is the only player who flails?</div> I was beginning to think the same thing, but when a mod says it, it's Like Whoa!
<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Did you watch the videos?</div> Yeah, look the guy gets crafty from time to time, but it's nothing that a lot of players don't do. Don't forget Jason Terry and Reggie Evans like to go for the nuts. A lot of stuff comes out in the heat of competition. That "kick" in the back? That was a joke, that looked like it would hurt a fly are you kidding me? The foot under the landing player --- no worse than Kobe moving the ball and OOPS got Raja with my elbow. You could make a list of videos for just about any other player and claim they are dirty. A lot of this hate for Bowen comes from the fact that he's on a dynasty. He's an irritant to stars. Ray Allen and Amare saying he's dirty tells me not only has he affected their physical game, he's affected their mental game. If he was really a dirty player deep down, the league would have noticed, it would have been obvious, he would have injured a bunch of players already. But no, he's an exceptionally talented defender on a "boring" dynasty, so people want to find fault and claim that he's doing something that no other player would ever do, cause they play "clean", not "dirty". it's bogus... And they say that one day Bowen WILL cause harm to a player with his "dirty" play, it's only a matter of time or whatever - I am very confident that Bowen will not seriously injure any player in his career and will retire a winner.

Don't forget Jason Terry and Reggie Evans like to go for the nuts. The first video may as well not have even been put in there. It was a video of Vince being taken out of his game, nothing more. The move on Francis or Nate Robinson or whoever that was, yeah it was a cheap shot, but is it worse than some of the other things that players at other positions commit? Hard fouls out of "passion" for the game? Hands that somehow land in player's faces? Kobe moving the ball and OOPS got Raja with my elbow. in a word, NO. next, that "kick" in the back? come on that looked like it would hurt a fly are you kidding me? .

If he was really a dirty player deep down, the league would have noticed, it would have been obvious, he would have injured a bunch of players already. It seems to me if you decide to play dirty then that will be a very difficult thing to conceal. So he's either a genius at concealing his dirtiness or he simply isn't dirty. He's an exceptionally talented defender on a "boring" dynasty, so people want to find fault and claim that he's doing something that no other player would ever do, cause they play "clean", not "dirty". Don't put that gap between him and the other players. this hate has only increased now because people want to see the Suns play run and gun all the way to the finals and they need a scapegoat. um, Pop and Bowen and all those other dirty dogs aren't the reason we don't get to watch the Suns go all the way - a complete lack of defensive prowess is. And they say that one day Bowen WILL cause harm to a player with his "dirty" play, it's only a matter of time or whatever - I am very confident that Bowen will not seriously injure any player in his career and will retire a winner.

I'm coming with that Bruce Bowen D. Watch your ankles after a jump shot. I may wanna slide under your foot and say it wasn't intentional. I've never seen any other player slide under a jump shooter like that.
I didn't realize all of those cheap plays until I say those videos. I mean I knew he did them, but not that much. . He's considered a good defender, but he needs to stop with the cheap stuff. He can seriously injure a player or something. I definintely think this guy is dirty. I understand if you do it once or twice, it's an accident, but over an over. No its NOT! <font color="red">If you're going to post, post an intelligent, mature reply. Don't throw around curse words and such. Thank you, Mamba</font>
Bowen is a not a dirty player. People who claim him to be dirty are usually those who are jealous of his irritating playing style.
If Bowen was truely a good defender, he would not relay on doing those cheap tactics that could seriously injure a player. Good defenders can stop someone by not being so dirty and cheap. Good defenders get respect. Bowen gets no respect. I give Bown an "F" for "foul play" as a defender. Tapes don't lie. Do you see anyone else doing that kind of stuff on a constant basis? Please, don't try and justify his actions when you know they are garbage.
Ya, he's a dirty player. Even though he plays good defense, it really hurts him that he has this reputation of not being able to score. Playing dirty like that is uncalled for.

I honestly believe that teams which implement this style of play do not deserve to win.. precisely why they won't win the championship this year haha (im wishing).. anybody but the lowly spurs!
