While certain stars refrain from sharing too much on social media considering their status, some of them hold nothing back while speaking their thoughts. The same can be said about Andrew Bogut.

The Australian was the first overall draft in 2005 and was picked up by the Milwaukee Bucks. He also spent some time in the Golden State Warriors playing with Stephen Curry.

Recently, after the NBA draft of 2022, Bogut sent out a very controversial tweet. His tweet read, “With the 2022 @NBA draft completion yesterday, one big name has yet to find a home. Which team will snap up @KendallJenner??”

Fans on Twitter found his words to be offensive as they were clear digs at Kendall Jenner. Moreover, this came after rumors suggested that Jenner and Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker had split.

Although he apologized for his earlier tweet, it was far from being a serious one. He once again took shots at Kendall by adding some basketball references. Bogut’s tweet said, “I would like to formally apologize for this tweet. My scout take forgot to include the elite level of rebounding. I will do better in the future.

Despite being under fire for his actions off the court, he doesn’t look like he is going to budge. Bogut was a decent player during his time in the NBA. He spent 5 seasons with the Golden State Warriors and averaged 6.1 points, 2.2 assists, and 8.1 rebounds.
