<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <h3>Spurs Lucky?</h3> </p> Bruce Bowen's next start, against the Mavericks, will also be his 455th consecutive one. If Bowen retired right now, the NBA player with the second-longest streak, Tayshaun Prince of Detroit, could start every game for the next two years and not catch him.</p> </p> It's a remarkable statistic of longevity and health and luck. It's also symbolic of his franchise.</p> </p> On Monday, an MRI confirmed everything.</p> </p> When asked if the Spurs are lucky, R.C. Buford opts for humor. "No. Two lottery picks, 10 years apart, just when we needed them? OK, maybe there's been some luck." -- <font color="#000000">San Antonio Express-News</font></p> </div></p>
Also, even if Tayshaun Prince tries breaking other players' ankles starting his next game for 2 years, Bruce Bowen will still be by a large margin the dirtiest player in the league.
