"The Adelaide 36ers are aware of persistent and repeated personal attacks by a Sydney Kings co-owner and assistant coach directed towards our owner Grant Kelley. The 36ers understand that body shaming is not a joke, but rather a very real source of anxiety and emotional distress for people of all genders and ages."
"Kelley claimed Bogut made comments about his weight in the tunnel, which Bogut later disputed. Let's just say I'm the size of Akebono the sumo wrestler, that's my journey, that's my issue."
"After the Kings' win in game three, Bogut posted on Instagram saying: Nice to get back to the locker room unencumbered tonight, in what one can only assume was a rush to major sponsor Hungry Jack's drive-thru outlet."
The Adelaide 36ers have formally complained to the NBL regarding body-shaming remarks made by Andrew Bogut, co-owner and assistant coach of the Sydney Kings.

Kelley expressed that Bogut's comments reflect a power dynamic due to his athletic background. The 36ers emphasized that body shaming causes real emotional distress and reiterated their stance against cyber-bullying. The situation escalated after Bogut's social media posts following the Kings' victory in game three.
