Any videos of the alternate angle yet?

Basically Bruce Bowen is Ron Artest, but he hasn't abused dogs, run into the stands after a fan, demanded a trade, or beat his wife.What's funny is that you can do that with any player that plays hard on D.
I don't doubt that Bowen is sneaky/crafty/dirty sometimes. I also don't think his intent is to injure players.
But what's funny is that everyone keeps bringing up how he "gets away" with it. Why do you think that is? Is he such a big name with great marketability that the league protects him?Is it a conspiracy to keep the small market Spurs winning?
As a Spur, Bowen has never been suspended. He's never been ejected. But all the opponents' fans think he's the "dirtiest player in the league." That doesn't make sense either. He doesn't even average very many fouls.
He crowds players. He works them. He gets under their skin. They get frustrated. There's oftentimes contact. But he's not going out every game punching and kicking like some people make it out to be.
Last night, he was probably wrong to react to Paul hitting him the nuts. But hey, if I was a guy and got hit in the nuts twice in a matter of seconds ... I'd probably react too.
It seems like in the NBA unless you are a high profile star (i.e. Kobe "following through on his shot") or a high profile nutcase (i.e. SJax, Artest, David Harrison, pretty much everyone who has worn a Pacer uniform), then you don't get suspended for (relatively) minor on-the-court activity.
I mean, compare Artest elbowing Manu 2 years ago to Raja Bell clotheslining Kobe and tell me those both deserved a 1 game suspension? Bell's would probably have been at least 2 in the regular season. Also, thanks to Bell's move on Kobe, he was a target for Stu and Co. so he got a 1-gamer for hitting Bargnani in the nuts last year (a play that I didn't even see in real time during the game... and one the broadcast team in Toronto didn't replay).
Now if Bowen finally gets convicted of shooting Julius Hodge 3 years ago...
you sir have no life outside of your 4 walls.
who the does this kind of bs? i mean really....?
"i am going to mark down every foul that bowen may have committed in this game and then try and shove the results in the spurs fans faces on a spurs forum"
you are a loser and i think we can all attest to that more so then we can to the validity of bowen being a dirty player.
i love the fact that you are jotting down what could possibly be considered a foul here and there when you have no credentials to do so in the first place. then you act like we should care what some has to say who watches the same game in front of his tv and not from the court wearing a zebra shirt.
why you gotta cut on me so much kori? hahahaha....
i just can't get enough ST!

as stated before... bowen defends the oppositions best not their tiest player. MESSAGE!
Paul gets in a couple "Hodges" and then does a Steve Nash flop to top it off.
Watch the slow-motion part.
Suspend them both then.
doesnt even look like bowen did anything except try to get the ball and then get out of the way. thanks for the vid timvp/kori.
it, lets go all the way then since you brought it up.
Exactly. Bowen does stuff wrong on occasion, but when you watch it slowed down, I'm not sure he even did anything here. But Paul definitely hits him the groin.
that avatar is freaking awesome! who made that for you?
All I see is two guys playing hard. Paul being sneaky trying to hit Bowens nuts
Anyone who claims this as "another" Bowen cheap shot is not being objective and just hates the Spurs.
for those who haven't seen the aforementioned paul punching julius hodges' balls in college, here's the link. chris paul has picked up some bad habits it seems.

OH MY GOD.
The two videos are so totally different you'd almost believe TIMVP did some kind of CIA POP editing.
Crazy ...
What a difference the angle makes. Live, I thought he hit him in the nuts but the slow motion, there's no doubt. I posted a link to the video on ESPN True Hoop because they have been hanging Bowen there all day.
My avatar? I think Pistons<Spurs made it. It is in the spork thread. I just changed the date to 2008.
Yeah, Chris Paul, intentional or not, totally sold Bowen kicking him from the first angle, even the announcer bought it.
yeah that is funny.
All that video shows me is that Bowen shouldn't wear nuts next game.
Wow no Bowen haters since the other angle was posted.
Ok CP just lost some respect in my eyes...
You dont go hitting a guy in the nuts.
I dont get what he is thinking, cameras everywhere today...
I still hate him for other reasons.
He still pulled the "kick him while he's down, then pull my hands back" move.
Even though nothing CP3 did is justified. That is all.
