So homicide said Bogut hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on him.
Bogut denied that claim, whilst at the same time saying homicide used to arrive at training smelling of alcohol.
Is all of this in jest? What triggered all of this?
Tyson Beck the artist weighed in calling Bogut a phoney with a screenshot of an email from Bogut's PA. Apparently Bogut had a crack at him on Twitter but since deleted the tweets

Were Homicides comments in jest? A little bit of hyperbole?
Homicide is so painful. He would be loving this 'any publicity is good publicity' narrative. Interestingly he didn’t really defend himself against the idea he came basketball related activities with alcohol on his breathe.
Personally if that weren’t true, I’d be breaking the Stephen A method acting, and defending that sort of defamation.
Corey supposably a big drinker, wouldn't surprise me.
What's Bogut’s excuse then? The guy is an embarrassment.
Bogut seems to care way too much about the little things...like feuding with Corey. Bogut seems to feel the need to address any and every perceived slight. It's kind of odd for someone as successful as him.
He likes to ruffle feathers. I highly doubt this takes much time out of his day. And he gets some entertainment value out of the reactions. Homicide is a pest, it is funny to see his weak comebacks. He wants to attack but he has to be nice to the nbl and it's actual talent.

Homocide had a dig at Bogut a few weeks back saying that everyone in the media was scared to say negative things about him.
Bogut, Karl Beston, Homocide, Wortho, all people in the NBL media who aren't scared to speak their mind,for the better of the league. Homocide comes off as the most precious though.
Big call by Homocide! But then, how did Bogut know his name was actually Carey? Perhaps through a PI.
"Homocide had a dig at Bogut a few weeks back saying that everyone in the media was scared to say negative things about him.

Are these two things meant to be related?
And karl Beston? Please, that guy does nothing but suck up to the league powerbrokers.

Someone has got too much time on their hands.
All this started when Corey said the "the best centre in the league is Shawn Long".
Bogut is only buying into the idea that Corey's opinion mattered, and that he is the premium basketball commentator in au.
Is it "a ring or a rim"? Now come on.
Bogut needs to stop twittering, and let his actions on the court speak.

God I feel like this place is turning into the Daily News sometimes. Who cares. I wish we had games on Tues through Thursday as well so people had more interesting things to post about.
Scroll past AngusH, it's a forum, in many ways this is the only place this sort of news should be.

Bogut complains about 'snowflakes' being offended all the time yet he has the biggest chip on his shoulder I've ever seen. Constantly lives thinking the world is against him and everything is an insult to him. He's happy to dish it out all the time but can't take it.
Bogut is a moron and a bitch.
He blocked me on twitter for a comment I made when he announced his move to the NBL... I wasn't even replying to his account. He was searching his name an blocking people. Pathetic.
I really shouldn't be surprised by a guy who tweeted about Pizzagate though.
Won't even correct myself Karl Beston is that shit

Just a bit of beef for some media spin/coverage. Nothing more to it.
Great to see all of you buying in.

Seriously though, Bogut is a full time basketball player, diverse business and investment interests on the side, kids (2 kids), a wife, a PA..... yet he's got the time and headspace to be a regular keyboard warrior over petty things. Bizarre.
Bogut comes across as one of those 'I don't care what people think of me’ yet spends a lot of time making clapping back at everyone who he i ks doesn’t seem to agree or like him.
Much like Dane Swan, who claims to hate the media and spotlight but carries on with things to get attention from the media.

Except Dane Swan is hilarious and a likeable guy.
Someone should post a GIF of Bogut rubbing his fingers together towards the FIBA refs on his Twitter.
"Bogut, Karl Beston, Homocide, Wortho"
I'm still laughing at this. Karl trying to add credibility to his name by throwing himself in the mix of the other so-called experts.

I believe there are good reasons to have Twitter, but this constant parade of random crap is why I have never bothered.
Unfortunately I also feel that this "Twitter Mentality" has effected other forms of communication.
I don't sign up for anything, nevertheless a lot of organisations have my email and phone number, and I swear the majority of emails and SMS I get are just random crap.
Bogut can dish crap out but simply cannot take it when it's thrown back at him. Serial tweet deleted when he gets owned
