Andrew Bogut tried to collapse ORACLE with a dunk on Tristan Thompson after dicing up Timofey Mozgov.

Andrew Bogut is largely known for his physicality. No one on the Cleveland Cavaliers wants to catch a hard foul or vicious screen from the big Aussie in the 2015 NBA Finals. However, he showed the Cavs that they might want to also keep an eye out for his handles and him skying towards the rim.

Bogut got the ball at the top of the key and everyone who has seen the Golden State Warriors play expected him to kick it out to one of his guards. Instead, he decided to go behind-the-back on Timofey Mozgov and then try to absolutely annihilate Tristan Thompson:

The universe and certainly ORACLE Arena might have imploded if he had put that dunk attempt down.

There’s not a whole lot better in the world than a seven-footer showing off his ball-handling ability. When it leads to that big man then almost having a highlight jam that would be shown for ages after this series, that’s even better.

We probably won’t be seeing Bogut running point-center again anytime soon. After seeing how it worked out in this instance though, that’s a crying shame.
