Screw you, Ray Allen. Bowen just plays good D. We’ve all seen the tape on ESPN of your ankle turning, and Bowen wasn’t near you. As Bowen’s said- Jordan didn’t complain about Starks’s defense.
And I just saw this via google news:”I don’t compare (Bowen) to anybody because he is the only guy I know that doesn’t play basketball,” Allen said then. ”He’s out there playing some other sport. I don’t know what you call it. … He doesn’t play basketball. I don’t know what he does. They put him out there to throw punches and throw elbows. That is not basketball out there, what he plays.”
To which Bowen retorted, ”I don’t really know what to say to that. … I’ve never heard the great ones say anything like that. You never heard Michael Jordan say, ‘Oh, John Starks doesn’t play basketball.’ John Starks may have been physical with (Jordan), but what did he do? He went and hit the gym hard and continued to play.”
