Multimillionaire and former NBA star Andrew Bogut has admitted the Australian national basketball team were forced to wash their jerseys in a bathtub.

Bogut revealed the shocking information in a press conference following the Sydney Kings' NBL win over the Perth Wildcats on Thursday night.

The globally recognised basketball star said when he first joined the Boomers they had to do all their own washing.

The revelation comes after an agreement between Basketball Australia and the Australian Basketballers' Association to improve conditions for national team members.

Bogut described the agreement was much needed as a 'great deal for both parties'.

'As time went on from the early 2000s when I started [in the national team] it was always "next year, next year" and "she'll be right mate, she'll be right mate" attitude with certain things,' Bogut said.

'We were doing our own washing when I first joined the national team. We were washing our jerseys in a bathtub with soap so we've come a long way.'

The new National Teams Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) was signed on Thursday and guarantees improved working conditions for team members.

Key features of the CBA include a new revenue model which will see players receive a 25 per cent share from key events and a carer on the road for children up to 4-years-old.
