Bogut Makes Obscene Gesture Towards Crowd

Globe And Mail -
Andrew Bogut may face disciplinary action from the NBA after making an obscene gesture toward the crowd near the end of Milwaukee's 108-93 loss to Toronto on Monday night.

After committing a flagrant foul against Toronto's Chris Bosh with 49 seconds remaining, Bogut was ejected.

Milwaukee television station WTMJ showed video footage of Bogut making a gesture toward the grandstands as he left the court. Bogut did not talk to reporters after the game.

"We're aware of it," NBA vice-president of basketball communications Tim Frank said Tuesday. "We're reviewing it."

Why would Bogut flip off his own Bucks fans?

Because he's a "semi-bust" and I called it over a year ago. Bucks fans are realizing this now.

Bogut is far from a bust

"Semi-bust." I made a thread last year after all the Bosh and Yao <Bogut threads on ISH calling him out. "Semi-bust", as I explained in that thread, means to me that he will never be on the Bosh, Ming level, but on the prime Brad Miller level.

15/9/4 on high FG% is what I see, which isn't what many had predicted before he came to the NBA. That to me, is a roleplayer and a "semi-bust" for a player who was supposed to come to the NBA and be the next great center.

it was discussed briefly in the Raps vs. Bucks game thread...

Bogut isnt a bust but he is an idiot to do that

[loot]

i remember people calling yao a bust

i also remember big men needing some time to adjust.


and i also remember bogut's numbers when redd was out.

so ...no he's not a bust.

Though it's unprofessional and he should be fined, it's very understandable in the heat of the moment.

As for him being a bust: I don't think most people thought he would be a superstar in the NBA. He was first pick in weak draft, and will likely become a solid starter with a fairly long career. I doubt he is making any all star teams, but I can see him getting 15-18 ppg, and 8-10 rpg during his prime. Not great for a #1 pick, but in the mid range of expectations.

Im sure he was just angry he did it to show hes a bad boy...but nothing against his own fans im sure.

surprised noone has mentioned the children. GOTTA THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!

I thought it was kind of weird ....
But last year he was frustrated because even as a rookie he expected the offense to go through him.
(I am a Bucks fan)
This year it appears he is still not getting enough toughs , and I think he's frustration just showed up .
I think he was flipping off the franchise because he expects to win.
What is he 22 ??

When Brad Miller was available from Chicago , I wanted the Bucks to grab him. Well if Bogut becomes Brad Miller for 5 years I'll take that.

Flips off his own fans!!

I can understand if you're on the road, but his own fans.

That's what makes this so bizarre and absurd.
