He's a great guy. I met him once at the Great Alaska Shootout tourney when he was still a high schooler. Even at that age he took the time to sign an autograph for me. I grew up accross the street from his high school coach George Houston, another great guy.
BOOZER! can't believe i went to highschool with you bro ! i'm glad to see your making it big. i remmeber shooting hoops with my friends watching you and your dad practice at Sandy Beach. glad to see you've made it to your dream. much love. ry
I totally forgot about this video until it came up on Memories from FB! Love all Alaskans and the fact his parents are from DC and good people who raised their kids up right. I love Carlos even more
Oh, how I certainly hope so. They were great in the playoffs, as were all of 'em, and the best thing is, they're all young. If we can keep them together, and not trade or anything, we're gonna have some exciting seasons in the near future. Go Jazz!
I met Booz when he played at Duke. His parents moved to Raleigh, NC. He and his parents are good people. Even though I am a UNC fan, he is alright with me.
@afroromka Excellent point, and I am sure we are missing others. Arenas probably had a better peak, and he was definitely an awesome scorer for a few seasons, but Boozer is still a quality starter on a quality NBA team. Even though he has been slowed by injuries this year (again), and he has had a mediocre last couple of weeks, he is still nearly averaging a double-double. Wasn't Michael Redd a second rounder, too? And Monta Ellis? Alex English was also drafted in the 2nd round in '76.
Cleveland really dropped the ball on this one Booze and Lebron would have been one of the greatest tandems in NBA history!( Imagine Jordan and Malone playing together)
Carlos Boozer is my favorite b-ball player. Plus he's hot! He's seems like a down to earth person. Great video. Does anyone know when his twins are due or what he's having?
@dataslul Yeah its sad what Gilbert turned out to be.But I still live his style and persistance.I like those second rounders getting to the top, it says that anythings possible :)
he doesnt look mexican at all. Some people think all brown people that are not black or not indian look mexican (and cuz his name is Carlos). if you look at his facial features he looks african, middle eastern (like Jordanian and Israeli or even Indian), and south-western European (Mediterranean ish). I am not expert, but thats what I see. Boozer looked mixed similar to some Caribbean (DR, PR, and Cuba) people.
@thomasizpimpin Why? Just because his parents named him Carlos? Why not Puerto Rican (like Carmelo Anthony), or Venezuelan (like Carl Herrera). The only Afro-Mexican basketball player of which I am aware is Mark Aguirre.
@yomike1 what does that have to do with anything??? if all the players from kentucky do good in the nba and later on people will be like, damn they were all on kentucky at the same time regardless if they win a championship
Carlos is okay -- except for that little part about bilking the blind man. He made a verbal commitment to Gordon Gund to sign a contract extension in Cleveland, and then went out and took a bigger offer from Utah. I'll never forgive him.
Carlos was never a high jumper even in this video.He's got bad knees this year and he's older, so his game so it's sometimes tough for him to finish the way he's done his whole career.
seems like a great guy! well done parents!!
He's a great guy. I met him once at the Great Alaska Shootout tourney when he was still a high schooler. Even at that age he took the time to sign an autograph for me. I grew up accross the street from his high school coach George Houston, another great guy.
and..this video is really impressive. he seems way more humble than on the court and his family seems awesome!
BOOZER! can't believe i went to highschool with you bro ! i'm glad to see your making it big. i remmeber shooting hoops with my friends watching you and your dad practice at Sandy Beach. glad to see you've made it to your dream. much love. ry
This just made my respect for carlos boozer go up be a million!
I totally forgot about this video until it came up on Memories from FB! Love all Alaskans and the fact his parents are from DC and good people who raised their kids up right. I love Carlos even more
He got his eyebrows from Alaska. . . He adapted to the climate. LOL

Carlos Boozer Is my Hero

Boozer is a awesome player
yep, I went to Crimson Bear the year I was an exchange student, I had class with him
he's the tallest guy i've ever meet.
i'm glad to have boozer on the bulls
great player
he doesn't jump too high but I like the way he hangs on with one hand... looks powerful.
thats true! thats why boozer has one of the best "off" hand finishes in the nba
Carlos Boozer is a beast
his dad is a legend
him and ginobili are one of the best 2nd round picks in the nba
gotta love the reference letter from Coach K lol
it's hard not to like this guy
go carlos boozer!!!! im your no.1 fan!!!! you can beat lakers.. go go go go!!!
difficult to imagine how a quite little kid became such a beast
Boozer looks completely different in his earlier stages than he does now.
i concur!!!!
boooooooooooozer beast

he seems like a heart-of-a-lion kind of guy...wish he would go with the lakers
I have the same Jordan poster at 3:27.
that was a nice video
"Be a Human Being!"
Nothing to add...
I'm so buying the number 5 jersey!!
@dataslul And Ginobli...he was a second round pick, too.
Cleveland really dropped the ball on this one Booze and Lebron would have been one of the greatest tandems in NBA history!( Imagine Jordan and Malone playing together)
haha that court that they showed was at harborview not aukebay...
Funny hes talking about Auke Bay Elementary and they are showing Harborview Elementarys court....
@PlanetXeno Nationality is not ethnicity; he's American. This is his nationality.
@RaiptYou Awesome.
hey thats my highschool!!
he is one talented strong ass nigga
Carlos Boozer is my favorite b-ball player. Plus he's hot! He's seems like a down to earth person. Great video. Does anyone know when his twins are due or what he's having?
@asmaki06 Sorry but it's Jay Williams, not Jason williams...
@dataslul One of. You can't forget Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili.
he's what you want from a power forward, he doesnt have any holes in his game. just like elton brand.
@dataslul Yeah its sad what Gilbert turned out to be.But I still live his style and persistance.I like those second rounders getting to the top, it says that anythings possible :)
want trajan langdon from alaska? He was the first alaskan NBA player
and that is why coach mike chose boozer for the usa team
@mikeybears not just yet, but maybe soon if they get one more quality piece
thats my cuz!!! wish he didnt leave cleveland but Utah's cool
@asmaki06 yeah people are going to be saying the same thing about kentucky's team last year
really bummed he had to get surgery today. i think the jazz couldamade a nice run this year..
@dataslul Manu or Tony Parker?
i didnt know he played with shane battier in college.
@HarveyRex23 we utah fans want him back....... =[
BOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZERRRRRRRR!!!!
@dataslul What about Arenas?
and how are u so tall now
he doesnt look mexican at all. Some people think all brown people that are not black or not indian look mexican (and cuz his name is Carlos). if you look at his facial features he looks african, middle eastern (like Jordanian and Israeli or even Indian), and south-western European (Mediterranean ish). I am not expert, but thats what I see. Boozer looked mixed similar to some Caribbean (DR, PR, and Cuba) people.
whatever so were you. He is my cousin. So if you are disrespecting him you are disrespecting me.
@opo1293 he's not half?
2nd round #35? lol, thats crazy...
Good Luck with the Bulls.
Type MYPRIZE instead of YOU in youtube and hit enter
the 1st thing i thought when i saw his mom is "eyebrowsssss"
@thomasizpimpin Why? Just because his parents named him Carlos? Why not Puerto Rican (like Carmelo Anthony), or Venezuelan (like Carl Herrera). The only Afro-Mexican basketball player of which I am aware is Mark Aguirre.
I wish he was playing like he was in Utah
how come none of y'all taught him some defense??
bitch ass nigga
@yomike1 what does that have to do with anything??? if all the players from kentucky do good in the nba and later on people will be like, damn they were all on kentucky at the same time regardless if they win a championship
mic check 1 2 12 mic check 12 12. im on a winning streak and im not losin im not losin
@dataslul I'm Mexican Black and Filipino
Carlos is okay -- except for that little part about bilking the blind man. He made a verbal commitment to Gordon Gund to sign a contract extension in Cleveland, and then went out and took a bigger offer from Utah. I'll never forgive him.
@thomasizpimpin I thot you spell the word like thought
@thomasizpimpin If you say so. I'm actually Mexican, and I think he looks like a black guy with a lot of European admixture.
@captainkill1 yeah you're totally right, I wasn't bad mouthing boozer...I was just trying to put a clown (urallwitnesses23) in his place.
Thats my cuz
Best second round player ever?
he look like ,carlos boozer,
he looked like drake
YEA!!!... the utah jazz will win the nba championship!!
WOW!!! my basketball team, Cherokee Magic gets to train w/ him!!! it will be amazing! i disagree w/ alot of u people...he sounds awesome!!!
no carlos,you are not the 1sst or the only kid from alaska to make the nba. Trojan Langdon played for Duke right before you and he made the NBA.
great story..no silverspoon in boozers mouth..
how the heck did he slip to#35?,
andwhywont people recognizehimas1ofthetop10playersinthenba today?
@dataslul He looks mexian
why does every player in NBA have a dad who is out al the time?
You serious? Boozer has been amazing this year. They dont need him to guard anyone on Miami Jejuan howard wont score neither will haslem
Carlos "The Iceberg" Boozer. Damn I wish they beat LA and I'm a knicks fan from NY too bad they suck though. Anyways Go Jazz Gooooo. :)

This is my Bestfriends Godfather... he has proof..when carlos boozer was on Cleveland he has pictures where Lebron is holdin him.

Carlos was never a high jumper even in this video.He's got bad knees this year and he's older, so his game so it's sometimes tough for him to finish the way he's done his whole career.

u out of all people was born in germany
