Milwaukee: Where Teamwork Goes to Die
After spending his childhood in Australia and College years at Utah, Andrew Bogut had no idea what wait in store for him when was selected #1 overall in the 2005 NBA draft.
From the friendly confines of the Outback to the eerie politeness of Utah, Andrew had always been surrounded by people, and teammates, who were supportive, encouraging, unassuming, or in a word…nice.
When he reached the hardened streets of Milwaukee (pronounced Me ● lee ● walk ● aye) culture shock was awaiting him with open arms. Bogut dealt with the lack of camaraderie in a very innovative way – pretending to have solid teammates.
An inspiration to all those stuck on teams with players the likes of Ricky Davis, Zack Randolph, or Jackie Moon, Andrew continues to battle egotism, narcissism, and selfishness the only way he knows how: with heart, imagination, and a hint of delusion.
