Bruce Bowen, of the San Antonio Spurs (leading Cleveland 2-0 in the NBA Finals) and his wife, Yardley, added a second boy to the squad this past weekend. Son Ozmel joins nearly two-years old Ojani on the Bowen bench.
"My wife is doing well and the baby is well," said Bowen, "What a gift during quite a time."
The Spurs won the NBA title in 2005, the same year that Ojani Bowen was born. Daddy is hoping this birth works out in similar fashion.
"I hope that's prophetic," he said.
What makes the timing of the birth even more interesting, for those of us following along at home, is that Bowen is matched against LeBron James in the series, who is also expecting the arrival of his second son any moment.
"I'm expecting," said LeBron. "Well, I'm not. That would be kind of weird."
At least the loser won't go home empty handed.
