    Ryan "Kobe Stopper" Bowen

    Ryan "Skinned Knees" Bowen

    He's been an NBA assistant coach for the past 5-6 years. Guy played like 8-9 seasons in the NBA. If you think being a player in the NBA for 8-9 years and then being an NBA assistant coach for 5-6 years is easy, then you do it. I liked Ryan. He was what he was. He wasn't out there for offense, but to switch the momentum of the game in our favor w/ energy & hustle, which sometimes also translated into halfway decent defense.

    I don't care about the ethnicity of a player as long as he has game. Ryan Bowen had defensive game (which is 50% of basketball). Given that we had the 2 of the top 5 offensive forces in basketball (Yao, McGrady), a little defense equated to more winning.

    Baker with the Rockets was soft--I blame his age/health. He was once a fantastic player. He was just trying to finish out his contract--can't blame him. He couldn't score the way he used to, couldn't rebound, & definitely couldn't play defense.

    Anyone who would incite Shaq to swing a punch at him is a hero in my book. :D

    That "talentless white stiff" managed to play 500 NBA games for 4 different coaches. I guess all of those coaches were out of their mind for playing such a useless player.

    Wait, maybe this was a Royce White thread and we all just misunderstood.

    That dude could play. The Polish Rifleman was just too injured in Houston to show his former self.

    Padgett and Piakowtski were ballers.

    Bowen sucked.

    I don't get the Ryan hate. Dude looked goofy but cashed 11 NBA checks for almost $9 million. All of us would most likely kill our mom for an NBA career like that.

    Clutch and I pulled off one heck of a April's fools gag about Ryan Bowen's extension.
