Quote:Do you have a link for that with objective data? I'll gladly read it with an open mind. I googled NBA and "ankle injuries" without finding data to support your contention.
Not exactly a statistic, but this site was a Digg top story a few weeks ago. It's a number of clips (which if you're a Spurs fan I'm sure you've already seen them) that show Bowen at work. In fairness, I agree outright that it's easy to vilify a person by taking select clips and putting them online. I'm sure everyone's foot has ended up in the wrong spot one time or another. But personally I do think Bowen does it on purpose, and does it an excessive amount of time. When he's not playing dirty, he really is a great defensivemen. That I can't take away from him, but placing your foot under a guy whose shooting a jumper? Come on. I'd rather see him just knee someone.
