MISSING BRUCE BOWEN

Retired NBA player
Bruce Bowen was one
of the best defensive
men during his Spurs
days.

Without a good defensive wingman, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has a wishful thinking. He wants to turn back the clock and bring in Bruce Bowen at 28 years old. The four-time NBA champion coach says the Spurs badly need a player in the mold of Bowen, who was a constant thorn to the opposition’s best scorer, to make a strong run this season, according to MySanAntonio.com.

“If I had my druthers, and it was a perfect world, I want Bruce Bowen to be 28 years old and back on our team. If I can get somebody who can at least spell defense and say the word once in a while, then I'll know they have some interest in it. Being a gnat on a guy's body, to where he gets tired of him being around you. Bruce did a great job of that.”
