    I just wanted to take this opportunity to send Ryan Bowen off into the sunset in a proper way...by paying homage to one of the greatest plays in his career, nay, in the history of the NBA.

    Thanks for everything, Flyin' Ryan. You didn't just fly, you soared. :(

    I'll never forget the Mavs Rockets series for many terrible reasons, but my favorite part was listening to the TNT crew talk about what a defensive asset Ryan was as he "shut down" dirk in the first couple games. Ryan gave us all hope that if we just grew a few more inches and hustled a lot, even someone without basic human motor skills can play in the NBA.

    Guess who else was on that video clip? Casey Jacobsem

    I think Ryan was Casey's assignment on defense and he didn't get back on defense.

    I think Ryan's greatest moment was in the TMac 13 in 35 game, Bowen stole the inbounds and dunked to start the run.

    I stand corrected.

    So, Ryan, thanks for the hustle, you earned every cent you got paid....good luck in life after the NBA.

    The progression of the last three posts was hilarious. Haha. Good ol', "do nothin" Ryan Bowen. Can't even match up to Scott Padgett.

    just like Boki's playoff moment against Malone, Bowen will remain positive in my mind for his 10 (or so) mpg defending Nitwitz, so TMac didn't have to do it the whole game.

    thx Bowen!

    Those two consecutive dunks are one of my best memories of last year. I'll always love the guy, even though we needed his roster spot for someone else.

    And I'll always love Boki for punking Karla.

    I've wanted him out for a while, but now that it finally has happened I feel kinda bad. Love that flyin Ryan video though, that's exactly what I came to this thread to see.

    Hey, everyone has to give Ryan Bowen props. He worked his ass off and I think he is now vested in the NBA's pension fund, so he can go off and be a coach somewhere while living comfortably.

    He lived the dream for a few years... good for him.

    indeed I miss bowen, especially his highlight during the time when we against mavericks. hardworking, hustle, and disciplined guy like bowen got cut, and lazy moochie got long guaranteed contract. how cruel is it in the NBA world. if you think bowen also gets to feed his family, you will be more considering. I feel sad today. byebye rybo, be strong.

    Ryan Bowen, we appreciate you for your hustle and hardwork. In fact, I'll say that if any of the players now labeled as busts had Ryan Bowen's work ethic and hustle, they'll become All-Stars.

    Guys like Ryan Bowen don't really get a lot of props in this league, but I just want to say that although he wasn't talented, he busted his ass all the time and gave 100% every time he touched the court..Much appreciated, and good luck in your future endeavors...

    It's a good thing that we finally cut someone who is a 2.7/2.2 guy night in and night out. Well, Flyin' Ryan thanks for all the hard work off the court and hustle on the court. We sure will remember those dunks for a long long time.
