Word on the streets Starsky is that Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas were traded to the Bucks for Richard Jefferson. Now everyone has their opinion basketball-wise. But have you thought about the person you lose in Bruce. For the media, who is going to be there doing interviews all the time. A couple of years ago, Bruce went to "It is, what it is!" and we in the media had fun with it. That's because Bruce was the goto interview. He always talked, after a game after a practice or after one of his many "Bruce and Buddy" events.

As a player he had to find his niche' and work his way up through the ranks. A hard nosed bule collar player on a blue collar team, in a blue collar town. He is on commercials and he owns a business in town with his wife. That though is the unfortunate part on the NBA business. Players are commodities but in their community they are so much more. At least this one has been for the people of San Antonio. I shot quite a few stories with Bruce and more interviews than I can remember. But he is one of the guys who was usually smiling and remembered your name. Stayed as long as you needed him and even occasionally sat down and had dinner with you.

Anyway, if this is it for Bruce in SA Good Luck to him. We hope you and your family keep your roots planted right here for years to come.
