Former Golden State Warriors big man Andrew Bogut has finally called it a career despite not playing in the United States for a few seasons now. Even after wrapping up his professional playing days with several seasons down under in his native Australia, Bogut has still continued to receive immense praise from his NBA counterparts and former colleagues after announcing his retirement.
With Bogut notably serving as a key cog for the Warriors as the heralded Western Conference put together quite the stretch of basketball, head coach Steve Kerr took to Twitter to heap praise upon the journeyman.
Congrats & thank you to @andrewbogut on an amazing career. We couldn't have asked for a better fit at the center spot- a dominant defender who owned the paint, a brilliant passer/screener who blended perfectly with Steph&Klay, and a player with incredible feel. Well done Boges!
