#9 Bruce Bowen - San Antonio Spurs
Given the coaching philosophy and style of Gregg Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs might have won their three titles in the 2000's (2003, 05, 07) even without Bruce Bowen. But that's easy to say in hindsight and when we look back now, Bowen was invaluable to the franchise even though he could play one side of the ball effectively.
After completing his four years in college, Bowen went undrafted in the 1993 and didn't get a selection in the league until 1997. Then too, he bounced around till 2001 representing three teams in those four years - Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and the Boston Celtics.
He finally found his home with the Spurs in 2001 and played there for the next eight years. His defensive play did get him the recognition it deserved with eight All-Defensive Team selections, all with the Spurs.
