Aussie NBA great Andrew Bogut has raised plenty of eyebrows after sharing a shocking video on social media showing Anthony Albanese depicted as Adolf Hitler.
Bogut, 39, shared a post from another user on X, the online platform formerly known as Twitter, where the Prime Minister is superimposed as the infamous Nazi leader.
The former NBA championship winner with the Golden State Warriors even tagged Albanese and labelled the clip 'solid'.
Bogut also declared in a separate tweet, 'The WORLD is laughing at us' after Chris Pavlovski, the CEO of Rumble Video in the US, posted his thoughts about Australia's supposed lack of free speech after Albanese blasted X owner Elon Musk for refusing to remove graphic content from the platform.
'Australia has made clear they believe in stripping away human rights (freedom of expression) in order to satisfy what they deem appropriate for your eyes and ears,' he posted.

'Australia is officially NOT a free country. Rumble stands united with @elonmusk and @x in this fight.'
The retired basketball star has been vocal on social media when it comes to supporting X owner Elon Musk in his clashes with Australian politicians over the issue.
Musk this week branded Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie an 'enemy' of the Australian people for deleting her X account following her scathing tirade against him.
The war of words erupted when Lambie urged other politicians to boycott X, formerly Twitter, when the company refused to take down footage of the Wakeley church stabbing.
Musk criticised the senator in posts, writing: 'Absolutely. She [Lambie] is an enemy of the Australian people.'
In a separate post, Musk added Lambie 'has utter contempt for the Australian people'.
Lambie dubbed Musk an 'absolute friggin' disgrace', claiming he should be jailed for his refusal to remove content about the alleged stabbing at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in western Sydney.
'[Elon Musk] is a social media knob with no social conscience. Someone like that should be in jail,' Senator Lambie told Sky News.

X was ordered by the Federal Court this week to block all users from viewing footage related to an alleged terrorist attack by a 16-year-old boy on bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a live-streamed service on April 15 at Wakeley in western Sydney.
X has temporarily complied with the order in Australia while taking out a two-day injunction - but argued a global takedown order violates the principle of free speech.
'We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA,' Musk posted to X.
Failure to comply with a court's ruling to remove posts could see X fined almost $800,000 a day and executives be held in contempt of court.
