Watch Chris Paul Fouling Bruce Bowen

March 13, 2008 2:11 PM

If you read today's bullets, you remember Ron Hitley of Hornets247 complaining about a skirmish between Chris Paul and Bruce Bowen.

I just watched it, and you can too.

Here's what I saw: One of the gems of the NBA, young Chris Paul -- tiniest of MVP candidates -- heads to the floor to gather up a loose ball. In the ensuing struggle, all kinds of thing happen. But if I'm not mistaken, the most noteworthy of them was not one but two kicks from the foot of Bowen to the upper torso (getting awfully close to the head) of Paul.

Bowen meanwhile actually had the nerve to try the old "but referee, my hands are straight up in the air, how could I have committed a foul?" routine.

And it worked.

UPDATE: Bruce Bowen's greatest hits.

UPDATE: Here's some video of a low blow from Chris Paul to Julius Hodge in college. So I guess if Hodge gets Bowen somehow, it would all be tied. First, Hodge would just have to make it back to the NBA from the outback.
