The leagues other top wing defenders don't need dirty ass plays to be considered such. Kobe, Tayshaun Prince, Payton, all did/do it without intentionally hurting anyone. Bottom line is there is no acceptable reason why Bruce Bowen is allowed to play in this league. The only reason why nothing has been done is because the NBA is too worried about the next bad headline, which kicking an allstar douchebag like Bowen out of the league certainly would produce. How many of you are going to be ok with his dirty play if he ends somebodies career, somebody like LeBron James or Melo?

Holy shit, Brian dropped a bomb on Universe. Oh lord, you just Hiroshima'd his ass. Call me racist, fuckers!
Thanks guys. None of you guys have bias at all and post everything intelligent. I truely did not know this thread would make up my entire basketball knowledge on a quick two second post but I guess I agree. I have no basketball knowledge at all. Bruce has no work ethic and his defense is only good because he is dirty. I'd rather have his three point shooting than his defense too. Kobe Bryant is the greatest eva'.
At least you drop some knowledge, by saying Kobe's the best eva. That's your saving grace, right there.

Sorry for the confusion, but I thought "global moderator" meant that he had control of all the forums. I probably shouldn't have made that post, but like I said, when I initially saw him with that position, it surprised the hell out of me. "I can say the same to you but I keep that in the brain." All right, go for it then. What do you have to say
