How to Kick a Man When He’s Down, Draw the Foul

By Chris Mottram
Observe as Bruce Bowen teaches us the key to his defense: Kick a superstar while he’s on his back, then rely on horrible officiating:

Even better (or, I guess, worse) than the kick is Bowen’s acting skills. Does he not understand how replay works? Everyone is going to see that you just tried to kick Chris Paul in his man-bits after the play was over. I’d prefer he at least owned up to it with more of a “what now, sucka!?” act than the “what happened?” charade he put on.
What’s weird is that this was so un-Bowen like. I mean, he’s never been known to play dirty and kick other players. Oh, wait, what’s that? He does this sort of stuff all the time? Nevermind, par for the course.
