Happy birthday to Spurs great Bruce Bowen

I know we all want to get to our review of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, but before that, some “local” news.

Now some of you young’uns may not recall, but before LaMarcus Aldridge moved to San Antonio, the #12 had been retired and was hanging in the rafters of the AT&T Center along with James Silas, George Gervin, Johnny Moore, David Robinson, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, Tim Duncan, and very recently Manu Ginobili.

Bruce Bowen, Spurs defensive stalwart and three-time NBA Champion, had his jersey ceremony on March 21, 2012, but he allowed the Spurs to take #12 out of retirement as a welcome gift to LaMarcus Aldridge.
