RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Andrew Bogut wanted one more shot to represent Australia at the Olympics and wasn't going to let an injury take that away again.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft tumbled to the floor with a hyperextended knee in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and no one really expected him to get up this summer.
But here he is in Rio, making a nearly perfect NBA debut.
The injury looked bad, and not to mention played a significant role in the Golden State Warriors losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers after setting the NBA regular-season record at 73 wins.
