Bruce Bowen: Defensive Delusion

On Thursday, Bruce Bowen retired. “It's not how you start but how you finish,” he said. “I hope my legacy would be as someone that never was satisfied with just being where they were.”

During his career, Bowen registered 6.1 points per contest. He was not a championship component. He was not a defensive cornerstone. He simply received unmerited recognition. Hopefully, Bowen’s replacement scores twenty points. He does not surrender thirty and assert success.
