I’ll agree that it wasn’t a dig at any one person, I’m sure if Redd was there, they would’ve left him hanging as well. However, this plays directly into the notion that they are lazy, have given up and don’t care.

This the NBA for god sakes; where one can become a rich superstart for playing a sport. These guys need to either appreciate or get shipped out. Aside from Redd and Bogut who perhaps are humble, everyone else is a punk that needs to go. Ghetto mentalities should be left far away from Business.

Yeah, I think you’re right on with it not being a personal vendetta.

I think Redd and Williams are both visible in the backcourt at one point in the video, so it must be Storey who was standing on the other side of the lane. How can you blame him? Has he ever been in the game when someone on the Bucks shoots free throws?

There definitely has been an awkward lack of connection between Bogut and Charlie V who one could expect to bond together sharing so many similarities (post player, third year player, labeled underachiever by the media).

In the game at the time, besides Bogut and Villanueva were Awvee Storey, Michael Redd and Mo Williams.

Visible in the background is either Redd or Williams (I forgot who) talking to someone, most likely their backcourt mate.

It is possible that Storey wasn’t on the lane at the time.

I get the feeling that Bogut and Villanueva have never gotten along very well on the court because of Charlie V’s defense. I’ve seen Bogut yelling at him over screwups a lot.

Either way, this is an example of the team mailing it in for the season — not necessarily a personal vendetta against Bogut.
