It's understood that if ur team let's you out of your contract because you need more money, your resign with them for the more money, and thank them, they did him a favor and fucked them over
This is not really a fall tbh, he played a long time in the league, put his numbers up, made his money, got old and retired. Decent career, he was never a superstar anyway, solid player.
Levanesh Kitnasamy In 06-08 bro....crazy as it sounds look it up. He was all nba second team. That series in 07 against Houston he averaged nearly 30 ppg/12 Reb. Once again I know it seems absurd but it’s true.
boozer won a national title at duke, was an all star all nba level talent , made the west finals as a starting pf and the east finals as a starter top 2-3 scorer top 2 rebounder on both teams won a gold medal so why do people hate on him?...sure he didnt win but he did win some playoff series games and played over z dozen years as a top tier name...he was never a center..hes the definition of the 90's-mid to late mid range high post fade post up bruising through late 2000's pfs...
If you call playing in the NBA for 13 years, average 16 points and 9 rebounds a game, all while earning $147m in the process a fall from grace, you have some really lofty expectations.
If money makes you an HOFer than you've proved your point. But other than that, in his 13 year NBA career Boozer was an average player and a role player at best.
Boozer was my first favorite player. I remember trying to learn to shoot like him when I was a kid, and wearing #5 because I wanted to be just like him. My how quickly things change. Both him and D-Will dropped off real quick after leaving Utah, showing just how important Coach Sloan was to their careers. I'll never forget those playoff runs in 07-10
the stock Malone era late 90s unis are fire...the purple and blue and ice design is classic..should never change what works...make small tweaks to it ...
From being the same town he was from in alaska loved seeing him in a bulls jersey. Disappointed at times but still couldn't believe it he was in Chicago
Is he a bum now? is he a crack addict that doesn't have any other prospect outside of basketball? Did he lose all those millions, because if he is not, then what fall are you talking about? He left the NBA with millions and a relatively healthy body, isnt that a success story?
It is a success story. These dumb ass youtube channels making catchy titles for some sorry ass views. Probably got too much free time so they are googling player information to do some videos for "the love of the game" as I say it in a sarcastic voice.
Yeah I mean come on folks ! If it was a couple of million or maybe 5 million and he choosed Jazz before Cavs I would understand the hate but 27 million? Do these fan know how much difference its? He would be a fool not to choose Jazz atm plus after Cav lost Lebron they are not getting near Championship anywhere during that time.
1) did he go back to the Cavs and see if they can match the Jazz offer? 2) it's mistake now because he probably would have a better career playing with Lebron. At least he would have a chance for the title.
the Cavs did not have to even let him opt out. the only reason they did was to reward they guy, and Boozer promised a blind man he would resign . He conned a blind man. As Paul Salis said, Boozer + C U Next Tuesday.
Undersized big man, got to play for many great teams in the NBA, earned good cash. Aint no that could be a downfall. I still remember his stint With Utah, epic offense along with Deron!
If you watch Boozer on those prime DRose Bulls teams, he was a valuable member of that squad. Bulls fans found him as an easy scapegoat, given that the Bulls clearly lacked talent to compete with Rose hurt.
actually not so much lack of talent but Coach Thibs could only coach defense not offense. Most times those Bulls teams just had Noah set the Pick bring the double team to Rose and then there was nothing else in a half court set, it was miserable watching them on offense.
Boozer did some nice things for Chicago. But, go back the 2012 Playoffs. Rose gets hurt. Noah gets hurt. Does Boozer step up like he did in that Rockets/Jazz series years back? Nope. I don't think Boozer ever scored 30 points in a game for the Bulls, and while I could understand that if Rose was taking all the shots, we all know that the Bulls needed some offense for all those games Rose missed.
He was just a hype man...he was way too physical and lacked any coordination and skill...hes just a stupid clout..that should have taken baseball or wrestling or something else...he injured players.
Rise and Fall?what the Fck u talking about...He was a HS all american, played at duke, and played 13 seasons in the nba. I think its called fathertime buddy ...he retired like 3 seasons ago...why didnt this come out then??...I didnt watch the vid and im not going to.... i just saw the title and i thought it was BS..so how did he fall off???
Orlando De Los Santos I guess you didn’t follow his career closely enough. His reputation took a big hit once he went to Chicago. Not to mention he left the league averaging 17 PPG and 11 RPG per 36 minutes and couldn’t find a job. Father Time was not the issue here - his game got displaced.
ive never heard of carlos boozer until today ;) never knew about him when he was a HS all american in alaska and i never saw him play at duke or nba (sarcasm) reputation dont get you buckets...13 seasons in the nba is long career buddy...
@@benitojuarez999 13 might be long but players back in the day never stood until their 13 or lower or a little bit longer, nowadays you have to be lucky to play 13 years, but no one ever played 21 excpet fot KG, but nobody has everplayed that long or longer.
what struggles??? he was a multiple all star and a great career...most of you guys are out your minds because you dont really know anything about the sport.
@@Bc232klm no it isn't. He's still young, but has been out of the leauge for years. He loves playing basketball and having it taken away because of some greedy, hateful fans and some bad injuries like you saw from the video sucks. That isn't a good life dude.
Thibodeau messed up Noah rose and Deng he over played them and they rarely ever came out the game he put a lot of wear and tear on there bodies at a young age they broke down when they got older
Can't blame the Bulls for that. Rose yea. Deng maybe. Boozer hell no. Off topic right quick, I always suspected Ben Wallace of using PEDs. Notice how much of a monster he was in Detroit?? He was even aggressive as fuck. Overly aggressive even lol. Remember how much mass he lost and how he INSTANTLY sucked when he came to Chicago??? He was nothing of that championship caliber that he was in Detroit. I've always had a theory he used PEDs to finally secure a decent contract. But yea bro, Boozer was a bum. We all know Chicago has the shittiest management but this doesn't apply to Boozer. He was just too much of a pretty boy pussy who didn't wanna put in REAL PF work.
HOL DAT!!!! Still a big fan. Wish he could have put up elite numbers with the Bulls, but I still like him as a player and even more as a person. He kills it on ESPN whenever he's on too.
Didn't really fall off, had a solid NBA career, he played on that unforgettable Bulls roster, and he was one of the best defenders in the league. He did pretty good for a player who wasn't always in the live lights.
Boozer and Williams were a nice second run for us Jazz fans, after we lost the best power forward and point guard to ever play in Malone and Stockton. We felt that Boozer and Williams could get us over the hump to a title. And to be honest, they may have, if Boozer had remained here and Williams didn’t have a blowout with coach... We had a bunch of unmemorable years after. And then we groomed Gordon Hayward tolead us to the future and as soon as we built him into a star he bailed. So fast forward to now. I a, more excited and enjoying Jazz games more than I have since Malone and Stockton title run! The young group we have in Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles, Crowlder and even our veteran Favors, we are a top caliber team again! Mix in our deep bench (besides point guard) and we have the potential to be waded to the title in the next 2-3 years! Jazz fans consider this our third modern era rise from the ashes! Mix in our days with Pistol Pete, Darrell Griffith, Coach Layden and we have a pretty great history! The only thing missing here is a title! We will get there. And I believe sooner rather than later. 👍
I really like boozer’s low post fadeaway, thats his best low post move. Even taller players Couldn’t block it. What destroyed boozer’s career is his defense, even without a three point shot he could’ve survived until today if he can play decent defense. His best years was with the jazz because of the system that jerry sloan run. He thrive in the pick n roll of jerry sloan bcos deron williams is great at running it and he is also a scoring threat, that helped boozer racked up his points.
Personally I don't think I can fault CB, he was a good but not outrageously good player and he made a ton o doh. The NBA just evovled past his skill sets and he would be benched or out of the league anyway so he maximized his salary.
With Boozer he was a very talented offensive player, true scoring 4 but was inflated by being in the Sloan system that Malone thrived in. I’m a Bulls fan and wished we never signed him TBH he needed to be hidden defensively, and Thibs wasn’t very creative offensively and Boozer would struggle with teams with length vs when he was with Utah and got more open looks. If he would have stayed in Cleveland tho with Bron he may have had a title or two he was a double double, idk why cavs let him go
Boozer was no longer dunking by his last two years in Chicago and that was his MO. He had lost all his lift. He was never the same in LA or in China. With him being only 6-7 (listed 6-8) It really took the punch out of his game that he couldn't leap anymore.
I don't think it has anything to do with how the league evolved ... Even if Carlos would not play the game as it is played now, he still would be a very valuable asset to any team ... It just seems to be the case of getting older, not every player is Karl Malone to be able to play at high level at 40 years old ... Carlos just seems to get slower and soft due to not being as strong as before. Also, while he went pretty fast from the league. . I think he got a respectable career and he actually accomplished more than guys like T-Mac, Yao or even Derom Williams when he left Utah.
@@d3672 your 6'5" shooting guard you would be listed 6'7" yet 6'6" power foward would be list 6'9". Players would get list by position not not real world. Did you not hear Charles Barkley.
Live in the same state and city carlos boozer lives juneau alaska in the summers he comes back to alaska and starts a basketball he charges alot of money for just a camp like literally why would you charge alot of money for a camp kids just wanna have fun and play basketball they don't have plans and dreams to make it big you shouldnt charge that much money for a camp so you could expect them to be in the nba
Soft. Money hungry. I am a Jazz fans there is the time he said he couldn’t suit up in the biggest game of the season. Utah lost and slipped from 3rd in the West to fifth. There was the time he proclaimed himself fully healthy and ready to go, at the end of season locker room cleanout. When he played, he was great. But he was soft. He sat out due to a paper cut once. A paper cut. Come on. I’m a damn chef and I nearly severed my thumb on a meat slicer. I didn’t go home and pout like Boozer would. I bandaged my self up and proceeded to work with my thumb in throbbing pain. He was lazy. That’s why he is viewed that way
rebounding and boxing out is ALWAYS about PHYSICALITY. And here you are calling him soft lmao. The guy even averaged DOUBLE DIGIT rebounds in his entire tenure with your team. If you were a real fan, you would have been well aware and knowledgeable about that
Tremple Arsen by soft, I mean he sat out with simple injuries, sitting out the biggest game of the season when he was healthy. That makes his soft. Not his play in the court. Now, if you were a fan, you would understand that term
It would actually be a violation of the Collective Bargaining agreement for the Cavs to discuss a deal with Boozer while he is still under contract. If they had a verbal agreement with him before choosing to decline the option for the final year of his deal, they were in violation and the NBA may have ended up voiding the contract anyway if that fact came to light. Either they had no verbal agreement in place, or they did have a verbal agreement in place and it was a violation of the CBA.
Before LeBron left for Miami and angered Cleveland, there was this stir when he left Cleveland for Utah. I remember there was the website called 'Carlos Loozer'
Boozer wore out his welcome in Utah. He was a very good offensive player and rebounder, but his defense was weak, which caused problems in the playoffs. After 2 consecutive all-star seasons, his 2008-09 season was plagued by injury. While he was out, Paul Millsap was starting in his place and racking up double-doubles. Boozer stated in a radio interview that he intended to opt out of the final year of his deal because he wanted a raise, which was a dumb thing to say when you're injured and the guy who normally backs you up is playing really well in your place. The Jazz even went on a huge win streak while he was out, but then faltered when he came back, due to problems with team chemistry caused by his interview comments. The Jazz lost to the Lakers in the first round, with Pau Gasol outplaying Boozer badly. Then, with the economy struggling and teams hording cap space for 2010, Boozer chose instead to opt into the final year of his deal. His last season with the team was a bit of a lame duck season. He certainly played well at times, but it was clear the team was ready to move on. Millsap had a couple of memorable first round games against the Nuggets, and then Boozer was again badly outplayed by Gasol in the 2nd round. Boozer signed with Chicago, and while he was solid, he was never the same all-star player again, and he struggled to stay healthy as well. Basically, his career went downhill because of poor defense, injury problems and questions about his attitude/motivation.
I don't blame him for leaving Cleveland or Utah. Utah offered him 20 million more and commited to him for a longer period of time but after 2010, you could tell they were leaning more toward starting Paul Millsap.
Sad part about loozer Boozer is he started Duke known for his defense. The problem with tweeners is always can they play defense at either spot and Boozer was too small to guard 4, too slow for 3, and was bad interior rim protector because he was undersized. IMO he did great for a second round pick. Olympics and two All star seasons.The only guys better as 2nd round picks are Mark Price, Marc Gasol, Rodman, Ginobli, Draymond, and Arenas, that 6 NBA players.
Booz was solid. He wasn’t flashy. He was consistent. I’m glad he ditched the cavs to play wit jazz. The whole trippin’ over a bag of money at home was unfortunate, but hilarious.
I remember being super impressed by Boozer in that Houston series. On the other hand, I think all the naysayers were proven correct when it came time to go up against the Kobe/Fisher/Gasol/Bynum/Odom Lakers. I thought the true strength of that Laker team was that they had the best collection of big-man talent, and it was clear that Boozer was going to struggle in the post against mobile, big defenders. Also, Boozer had the worst stone hands for a guy of his talent level. I never seen an All-Star low post man fumble so many passes. So, as a Bulls fan, I was pretty aghat when they signed him. I knew he wasn't going to put the team over the top, and the Bulls were just looking to spend their cap money. Still, dude had a good career, and for all the talk that he's not part of the modern game, I blame the ineffectiveness of these big guys in today's game a lot on coaching.
Man what a horrendous defensive player Boozer was! His lack of team defense spoke of his me first NBA contracts. I thought we had a shot to win with him and D.Rose but he was too inefficient even on offense!
This is not new to aging players. Nate Archibald once said that he can still shoot but couldn't play d anymore- during his early retirement days. It is so unfortunate that the desease came to boozer to early.
Boozer's game was tailor made for today's NBA. This assessment is way off. INJURIES lead to him retiring. The "dinosaur big man" narrative is getting old. It certainly doesn't apply to Boozer. And it doesn't apply to Jermaine Oneal either.
Yoooo so what you guys think of Carlos Boozer's NBA career? Comment below!
It's understood that if ur team let's you out of your contract because you need more money, your resign with them for the more money, and thank them, they did him a favor and fucked them over
I believe Carlos Boozer career did better in Chicago Amaya penis
He was good
Yeah, Bulls fans were spot on about Boozer. Lazy as hell.
There is no loyalty with management as well. As a player, you need to go where the money is and take care of yourself and your family.
Boozers fadeaway in all the 2k games was unstoppable

If you call playing in the NBA for 13 years, average 16 points and 9 rebounds a game, all while earning $147m in the process a fall from grace, you have some really lofty expectations.
and he was a 2nd round pick so he overachieved.
Because the best of the best played for the game itself and not money yea money is always nice though

Sorry, i'm not english speaker and i have a question: "Boozer" has something to do with "booze"?
@3:15 his shorter than average wingspan is mentioned. @3:35 God's Reach is listed 1 position higher than Boozer.
Booz had a great career. . .probably owns a bunch of car dealerships or burger joints and is living the life now. Wow.
I don't think it has anything to do with how the league evolved ... Even if Carlos would not play the game as it is played now, he still would be a very valuable asset to any team ... It just seems to be the case of getting older, not every player is Karl Malone to be able to play at high level at 40 years old ... Carlos just seems to get slower and soft due to not being as strong as before. Also, while he went pretty fast from the league. . I think he got a respectable career and he actually accomplished more than guys like T-Mac, Yao or even Derom Williams when he left Utah.
Yeah, Bulls fans were spot on about Boozer. Lazy as hell.
Boozer is 6'9. Where are they getting 6'7 from? Lol.
You don't know about position height inflation.
Bongani Nxumalo what ?
@@d3672 your 6'5" shooting guard you would be listed 6'7" yet 6'6" power foward would be list 6'9". Players would get list by position not not real world. Did you not hear Charles Barkley.
Bongani Nxumalo fr like 90% of players lie everyone who tells the truth is usually booted out for being "short"
Kobe is listed at 6'6 but is only 6'4
Live in the same state and city carlos boozer lives juneau alaska in the summers he comes back to alaska and starts a basketball he charges alot of money for just a camp like literally why would you charge alot of money for a camp kids just wanna have fun and play basketball they don't have plans and dreams to make it big you shouldnt charge that much money for a camp so you could expect them to be in the nba
I just did a video like this a few weeks prior to urs but yet u get more view than me!!!
Good video. I've been wondering what happened to Boozer's career in the NBA. One day he just vanished outta nowhere.
The bulls was stupid to give him $80 million
3:30 is that Quin Snyder working the draft?
Carlos was a beast in his prime!!! Getting buckets and boards at will
Father time that’s it
People really forgot how killer he was in Utah. Him, D-Will, and that Jazz team were close to being something special.
Soft. Money hungry. I am a Jazz fans there is the time he said he couldn’t suit up in the biggest game of the season. Utah lost and slipped from 3rd in the West to fifth. There was the time he proclaimed himself fully healthy and ready to go, at the end of season locker room cleanout. When he played, he was great. But he was soft. He sat out due to a paper cut once. A paper cut. Come on. I’m a damn chef and I nearly severed my thumb on a meat slicer. I didn’t go home and pout like Boozer would. I bandaged my self up and proceeded to work with my thumb in throbbing pain. He was lazy. That’s why he is viewed that way
rebounding and boxing out is ALWAYS about PHYSICALITY. And here you are calling him soft lmao. The guy even averaged DOUBLE DIGIT rebounds in his entire tenure with your team. If you were a real fan, you would have been well aware and knowledgeable about that
Tremple Arsen by soft, I mean he sat out with simple injuries, sitting out the biggest game of the season when he was healthy. That makes his soft. Not his play in the court. Now, if you were a fan, you would understand that term
It would actually be a violation of the Collective Bargaining agreement for the Cavs to discuss a deal with Boozer while he is still under contract. If they had a verbal agreement with him before choosing to decline the option for the final year of his deal, they were in violation and the NBA may have ended up voiding the contract anyway if that fact came to light. Either they had no verbal agreement in place, or they did have a verbal agreement in place and it was a violation of the CBA.
The only time he was benched for a whole game was on the Redeem Team by his ex-coach Mike K.
Before LeBron left for Miami and angered Cleveland, there was this stir when he left Cleveland for Utah. I remember there was the website called 'Carlos Loozer'
Seems to be a theme here. Players who leave Utah, struggle.
Boozer wore out his welcome in Utah. He was a very good offensive player and rebounder, but his defense was weak, which caused problems in the playoffs. After 2 consecutive all-star seasons, his 2008-09 season was plagued by injury. While he was out, Paul Millsap was starting in his place and racking up double-doubles. Boozer stated in a radio interview that he intended to opt out of the final year of his deal because he wanted a raise, which was a dumb thing to say when you're injured and the guy who normally backs you up is playing really well in your place. The Jazz even went on a huge win streak while he was out, but then faltered when he came back, due to problems with team chemistry caused by his interview comments. The Jazz lost to the Lakers in the first round, with Pau Gasol outplaying Boozer badly. Then, with the economy struggling and teams hording cap space for 2010, Boozer chose instead to opt into the final year of his deal. His last season with the team was a bit of a lame duck season. He certainly played well at times, but it was clear the team was ready to move on. Millsap had a couple of memorable first round games against the Nuggets, and then Boozer was again badly outplayed by Gasol in the 2nd round. Boozer signed with Chicago, and while he was solid, he was never the same all-star player again, and he struggled to stay healthy as well. Basically, his career went downhill because of poor defense, injury problems and questions about his attitude/motivation.
What was the point of the Logan Paul Ksi clip 😂
Nada bro lol
Cringey
D-Will, C-Booze=lit content
I don't blame him for leaving Cleveland or Utah. Utah offered him 20 million more and commited to him for a longer period of time but after 2010, you could tell they were leaning more toward starting Paul Millsap.
Sad part about loozer Boozer is he started Duke known for his defense. The problem with tweeners is always can they play defense at either spot and Boozer was too small to guard 4, too slow for 3, and was bad interior rim protector because he was undersized. IMO he did great for a second round pick. Olympics and two All star seasons.The only guys better as 2nd round picks are Mark Price, Marc Gasol, Rodman, Ginobli, Draymond, and Arenas, that 6 NBA players.
Fall? He just got old thats all. He was a monster for many years
13:06 had me dead lmao
9:46 That Yao face is going to be a new meme!!
Carlos is an ALASKAN LEGEND. Also fun fact, I went to middle school with Chalmers :)
What as. A BULLS FAN OF THEN.. WE FUCKIN LOVED BOOZER IN THE WINDY CITY..
This guys sons are in my class
Booz was solid. He wasn’t flashy. He was consistent. I’m glad he ditched the cavs to play wit jazz. The whole trippin’ over a bag of money at home was unfortunate, but hilarious.
underrated
I remember being super impressed by Boozer in that Houston series. On the other hand, I think all the naysayers were proven correct when it came time to go up against the Kobe/Fisher/Gasol/Bynum/Odom Lakers. I thought the true strength of that Laker team was that they had the best collection of big-man talent, and it was clear that Boozer was going to struggle in the post against mobile, big defenders. Also, Boozer had the worst stone hands for a guy of his talent level. I never seen an All-Star low post man fumble so many passes. So, as a Bulls fan, I was pretty aghat when they signed him. I knew he wasn't going to put the team over the top, and the Bulls were just looking to spend their cap money.
Still, dude had a good career, and for all the talk that he's not part of the modern game, I blame the ineffectiveness of these big guys in today's game a lot on coaching.
Bro how the fuck you just jump from Cleveland to Miami ? I didn’t like that transition it sucked but the bulk of the video was dope !
Man what a horrendous defensive player Boozer was! His lack of team defense spoke of his me first NBA contracts. I thought we had a shot to win with him and D.Rose but he was too inefficient even on offense!
Lack of loyalty? Brother, this is a business. He did what he was supposed to do.
I cannot stand vids like this🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ it’s common sense! He got older and declined🤷🏾♂️
This is not new to aging players. Nate Archibald once said that he can still shoot but couldn't play d anymore- during his early retirement days. It is so unfortunate that the desease came to boozer to early.
Boozer's game was tailor made for today's NBA. This assessment is way off. INJURIES lead to him retiring. The "dinosaur big man" narrative is getting old. It certainly doesn't apply to Boozer. And it doesn't apply to Jermaine Oneal either.
Testos Tyrone What injuries? Are you joking? He was very durable in the last 4 seasons of his career.
@Wakanda Forever Carlos Boozer wasn't that skilled? Lol damn... You young cats are a trip
Respect I thought it was me this team deserves shine & need to be added to 2k lol
There is no loyalty in business just ask the team owners and GMs.
