Bruce Bowen is a three-time NBA Champion and a great defender as he was selected to eight All-Defensive teams during his career. However, this doesn't change the fact that he is the dirtiest player of all time.

Bowen was always consistent in his cheap tricks and did whatever necessary to keep his opponents from scoring. He used to slip his foot underneath a player as he went up for a jump shot, taking away their landing space and left them with twisted knees and sprained ankles. Players like Steve Francis and Vince Carter were injured by this move.

Bowen kicked Ray Allen, Chris Paul and Wally Szczerbiak just to name a few. ESPN's Bill Simmons had his opinion on Bruce, "He is a cheap player who's going to seriously hurt someone someday".
There was a time when the NBA warned Bowen to stop being dirty, proving what kind of player he used to be.
