NBAE/Getty ImagesMilwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut is in his second year in the NBA, and he already doesn't have too many kind things to say about the league — or U.S. culture.
Bogut, 22, decried the greedy culture of the NBA, saying the public perception of the players is correct.
"A lot of (NBA players) get caught up in the hype and do video clips with rappers and all that crap," Bogut said, the Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald reported. "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 said he wasn't perfect, admitting he has bought a nice car, and said he didn't want to come across as arrogant, the newspaper reported. But he also wanted to separate himself from the image of most players.
"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," Bogut said, the newspaper reported.
"The smarter guys don't do that. They like to live a regular life and want to retire and be set up. About 80 percent of them go broke by the time they retire or come close to it."
Bogut blames the U.S. culture of greed and arrogance for part of the problem, the newspaper reported.
"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," he said, the newspaper reported. "The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game."
