ESPN just ran a story about Amare complaining about Bowen and showed a bunch of clips, but didn't even show the play in question. They did show another play though where there's a scramble for the ball that Nash dives on the ground and gets the ball, passes it off and then Bowen kicks him in the head (after the pass & looked intentional again).

I've watched it in slow mo on Youtube. I don't think it was a "kick" I thnk he tried to step on the back of Amare's foot but he jumped earlier than expected so Bowen's foot contacted Amares leg?

It was dirty as hell though, it wasn't a normal basketball play to step like that, he was trying to trip Amare before he could jump by stepping on his foot.
