<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Recent rumors that Andrew Bogut had a degenerative eye condition, which caused some concern for the NBA teams at the top of the draft, have apparently been quelled. Bogut is almost certain to be the first or second pick in the NBA Draft later this month. The Milwaukee Bucks have the first pick and are reportedly deciding between the former Utah star center and North Carolina's Marvin Williams, while the Atlanta Hawks, who have the No. 2 pick, have said they will definitely take Bogut if he is available. Utah coach Ray Giacoletti said he received several calls over the past couple of weeks inquiring about Bogut's supposed eye problems. He said three NBA teams called, along with several reporters from the Milwaukee area, who had heard the same rumors. "I don't know how these things get started," Giacoletti said. What made the story more intriguing was that the comments about Bogut were supposedly coming from Bogut's former coach, Rick Majerus. The Racine (Wis.) Journal Times reported last week that Majerus had said Bogut suffered from "macular degeneration, an eye disease." Other media sources in Wisconsin have reported the same thing. Giacoletti is dumbfounded by the rumors. "It was never an issue or a big deal," Giacoletti said. "Both team doctors that saw him both years never found anything. (Trainer) Trevor (Jameson) never knew of anything. Nothing was ever diagnosed."</div> Source
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting legendisdope:</div><div class="quote_post">thats what he gets for talkin trash about kobe</div> I'm not even going to rehash that "Kobe bashing" nonsense, but I wonder if you even read the first line of the article - Recent rumors that Andrew Bogut had a degenerative eye condition, which caused some concern for the NBA teams at the top of the draft, have apparently been quelled. The rumors are going away and teams are less scared. It's a good thing for Bogut. So why is it "what he gets for talkin trash about kobe"?
I'm glad the intelligent poster came out to post the first reply! Wow, you sure know your stuff. Thats pretty strange how something like that would come up. It sounds like theres no problem anymore, and it's all getting figured out. He'll still probably be going #1.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting legendisdope:</div><div class="quote_post">thats what he gets for talkin trash about kobe</div> Right on my brother. Bogut will be posetized come next season. He will be on sportscenter.
kobe's jock carries more passengers than Boeing. The Bogut comment about him was obviously not a personal attack more a comparison of ingame attitude styles between Kobe and Duncan. Big deal.
^ Indeed, but let's not turn this into laker fans vs. everyone else. It really would have sucked if it was true, I'm really looking forward to his career, and proving all of them haters wrong.
The only really strange part of this article is where the rumour came from. Rick Majerus. I do not know why he would start this. I mean Rick Majerus is one of my favorite college coaches, but this baffles me. Anyone else find out more about this?

I think a reporter asked him if he had any concerns with Bogut, and that's when all this took place.
