Bruce Bowen Retires from the NBA - Player? or Player Hater?

According to Fox Sports, the illustrious career of Bruce Bowen has ended. He announced his retirement from professional basketball. "The Gnat" has called it quits. Even though very few players outside of his Spurs team likes him, I'm sure they respect him.

He will go down as one of the best, albiet most pesky, perimeter defenders in NBA history. He would usually guard the best player on the opposing team, anywhere from a 1 to a 3. This means, on many a night, he has frustrated the McGradys and Kobes of the world. On offense, he'd set the occasional illegal screen or perform some other dirty play... oh, and he had that corner 3 from both sides. As vexatious as Bruce Bowen was, he got the job done, by any means necessary. My brother would terrorize me in NBA Live not lame ass 2K with the Bruce.

Here is a montage of Bruce at his best. The guy has more rings than most Rod readers

Love him or hate him, you have to repect Bruce Bowen.
