Anthony Lee Bowie (born November 9, 1963) is an American basketball player. He is a former NBA shooting guard, most renowned for his stint with the Orlando Magic. With the Magic, Bowie became one of the top bench players, often stepping in to provide spark and energy, timely baskets, and defensive stops. He is currently an Elementary School P.E coach
Bowie was selected in the third round (66th overall pick) of the 1986 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets out of the University of Oklahoma. After he bounced around in Europe and in several minor leagues, playing for the Rockets in the 1986 and 1987 pre-season games and for the New Jersey Nets during the 1988 pre-season, he debuted in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs in 1989. After the end of the 1988-1989 season, San Antonio re-signed him and traded him for cash to the team that drafted him, the Rockets, where he played 66 games that season.
He spent 1990-1991 season in Italy with Ranger Varese. During the 1991 off-season he played for the Chicago Bulls. Later in the 1991-1992 season, Bowie was signed by the Orlando Magic during a West Coast road trip, and he remained with the team for five seasons. His tenure with the Magic was his most productive. Along with Donald Royal, Bowie provided the Magic with a spark off the bench, and was often used to guard the opponent's top offensive player. He was also good at hitting the jump shot, and could also hit the three-pointer. He was also with magic in 1995 NBA Finals.
He returned to Italy to play for Stefanel Milano in the 1996-1997 season. In January 1998, Bowie joined the New York Knicks and played 27 games for them in the 1997-1998 season.
