Walking into the Quest Multisport in Chicago for the NBA Combine must have been nerve wrecking for Brian Bowens. Not because of all the team owners and players he’s competing against, but the unknown feeling towards him as some believe he is the reason well known and long term Louisville Cardinal head coach Rick Pitino was fired. In addition to that, it initiated the scandal of the NCAA which perhaps been going on since ‘He Got Game’ exposed it with Jesus Shuttlesworth.
All the same, the 19-year old forward is not letting this turmoil block him from his dream. “This is something to work out for since I was three years old,” Bowen said at the Combine. He has worked out for the Celtics, Nets, Spurs, Hawks and Jazz.
Bowens was anticipating all the types of questions but he says, “I’m very mature for my age.” We asked Bowen what was a weird question he was asked by team owners/executives during the combine and he laughed.
“It wasn’t weird, but it was interesting.”
