Andrew Bogut thought his NBA career was over about a year ago, when he was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers and signed by the Sydney Kings in his native Australia.
And now, nearly 70 years after Arnie Ferrin won his second title with the Minneapolis Lakers, Bogut hopes to become the second former University of Utah player with two championship rings — although “rings” is merely an expression, in Ferrin’s case. Having contributed to Golden State’s first two runs to the NBA Finals in this decade, Bogut is back with the Warriors as they face Toronto in the series that starts Thursday.
