Former Australian national team forward and NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Andrew Bogut, thinks that NBA could use a couple of examples from European basketball.

The 37-year-old took part in a Q&A session hosted by r/Warriors, saying that there are at least a couple of rules that the NBA could borrow from FIBA and the EuroLeague.

"Yes, intentional fouling needs to be stopped (to stop breaks, etc.). I like that FIBA rule," Bogut said, referencing to unsportsmanlike foul rule for intentional stoppage of a fast break.

"Also, I'd like the NBA to allow the ball to be touched once it hit the rim," added the Australian.

Bogut also answered other questions on Stephen Curry, Mark Jackson's coaching chances, and many more.

"He is one of the few superstars I have been around that does not act like a superstar," Bogut described Curry. "He is one of the best human beings in the NBA."

Talking about Jackson, Bogut made a slight dig towards his former head coach.

"I think everyone deserves a second chance, and he will eventually get another chance. But the well-noted church within a locker room, I think, hurts his job prospects," Bogut commented.

The 37-year-old also received a question about whether the Warriors would have won the title in 2016 if not for Bogut's injury and Draymond Green's suspension.

"I think so, but the Cavaliers could also claim they don't lose the year before with a healthy squad. It is what it is," Bogut answered bluntly.

Finally, Bogut shared some holiday destination advice in Australia: "Queensland. Tropical sunshine, great beaches, and less hustle and bustle."
