Andrew Bogut high fiving himself

[The Oi]

Keys is as black as I am....

That's right. Keys just teaches at a school that has a high black demographic. There's someone else on here that posts consistently that's black.


I think it might be Karma.

Nope, I'm a white guy. I did once have a 13 year old black student get offended when somebody called me "white" in a classroom. He stood up and angry said, "Don't call him that! He's Irish!"

I still think it was the highest compliment anyone has ever paid me.

By the way, Pip, I'm way blacker than you.

Did you respond to the hater by saying "You do not talk to me like that!! I am a teacher in charge of 29 people. I drive a Dodge Stratus!!!"

Don't talk to me like that, Jigo. You know DAMN well I drive a 2003 Chevy Cavalier. BTW: one of the funniest skits ever. :chuckles:

Bogut got a lot of negative reaction for this article. But, it wasnt as bad as the reaction he got from the press conference.

It's questions about Bogut's work environment that get him fired up. His sentiments are well thought out, fearless, yet far from complimentary. He is clearly determined not to get swept up and spat out by the system in which he now finds himself.

"The public's image of NBA players is true," he says. "A lot of them get caught up in the hype and do video clips with rappers and all that crap. They want bling bling all over themselves and drive fast cars. But that's just the way the culture is in America - if you've got it flaunt it and if you don't, you can't."

Bogut catches himself. He bought some nice wheels recently and he collects old cars. His father was in the motor trade and recalls how, as a youngster, he and his father would give the thumbs up to people driving cool cars.

"But that's where it stops for me," he says. "I'm not into jewellery. I've got some earrings but they're not too expensive. There are guys who drop a hundred grand for a chain. The public's got it right - a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.

"The smarter guys don't do that. They like to live a regular life and want to retire and be set up. About 80 per cent of them go broke by the time they retire or come close to it.

"We have compulsory tutoring each week where they teach you to manage your money and they tell you about all the things that can happen to you, people trying to take advantage of you, but it's amazing how many guys totally ignore it. I guess if you're a normal person and suddenly you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.

"But it's just the culture over there. I would never want my child to be brought up in an environment like that, where if you have money you're supposed to flaunt it and make everyone jealous.

I could have been YOUR dad...but it's hard to say cause there was so many of us in the room with her at the same time.
