The Warriors were 58-9 when Andrew Bogut played this season, plus 4-0 thus far in the playoffs.
Center play has been so depleted that the NBA removed the position from the All-Star ballot.
Fans may now vote for three “frontcourt” players, leaving out the big men altogether if they wish.
But the Warriors’ Western Conference semifinal series against Memphis could go a long way toward returning respect to the center position because of the multi-faceted games of Andrew Bogut and Marc Gasol.
