Bruce Bowen is crowned greatest role player in San Antonio Spurs history by fans

After weeks of voting and deliberation amongst San Antonio Spurs fans, the greatest role player in franchise history has been crowned! Defensive-phenomenon Bruce Bowen, a 6-foot-7 small forward with cunning instincts and a cutthroat approach to the game, played eight seasons in the River City and was a part of three championship runs in 2003, 2005 and 2006.

Bowen was an elite 3-and-D player, setting the mold for a new landscape of small forwards that’s become idealized in the modern NBA. He played 630 games in a Spurs jersey for a grand total of 18689 minutes.
