Andrew Bogut, who was the Warriors' starting center on the 2015 NBA Finals-winning team, announced his retirement from professional basketball on Monday, after 14 NBA seasons and one competing in his native Australia's NBL. His former teammates and the Warriors organization made sure to wish the 36-year-old well on social media.

A leader. A champion. A Warrior through and through.

Congrats & thank you to @andrewbogut on an amazing career. We couldn't have asked for a better fit at the center spot- a dominant defender who owned the paint, a brilliant passer/screener who blended perfectly with Steph&Klay, and a player with incredible feel. Well done Boges!

Bogut originally joined the Warriors in 2012 after seven years with the Milwaukee Bucks, and was the anchor of Golden State's defense as it battled to the organization's first championship of the 21st century. The big man had a reputation for being one of the NBA's best passers for a frontcourt player, and the Warriors' Twitter account shared a montage of some of Bogut's best dishes from his time with the Warriors.

He spent last season playing with the Sydney Kings, and announced his retirement through his podcast "Rogue Bogues."
