Andrew Bogut blocks Paul Millsap to the ground (Video)

Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut blocked Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap right to the ground.

Andrew Bogut is the definition of a rim protector and on Monday night, the Golden State Warriors center welcomed Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap to his block party.

With Millsap having a full head of steam and going right at the rim, Bogut went up and blocked Millsap so hard, that Millsap hit the deck and the Warriors got out running in transition.

It’s just your friendly reminder and a friendly reminder to Millsap, that Bogut is a very large individual and that trying him at the rim is probably not going to end well. It didn’t and Millsap had to lay their helpless as he watched the Warriors go right down the court on the other end.

The Warriors jumped out to a big lead over a Hawks on Monday, but the Hawks came back and took the lead late at home in front of a raucous crowd. However, it wasn’t meant to be as the Warriors fought their way back into the lead again and this block by Bogut energized the Warriors to finish the game off strong.

The life of a rim protector can be thankless at times, but it has sweet perks likes banishing everyone straight to the hardwood.
