Carlos Austin Boozer, Jr West Germany basketball player

Carlos Austin Boozer, Jr. (born November 20, 1981) is an American professional basketball player and an Olympic gold medalist currently with the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association.

Biography

Although born at a military base in Aschaffenburg, West Germany, Boozer grew up in Juneau, Alaska,[1] in the US. As a child, Boozer and his father practiced outside at his local middle school, throughout the cold Alaskan seasons. He attributes his physical and mental toughness to these sessions. He attended Juneau-Douglas High School. Boozer was married to his wife CeCe for over six years before he filed for divorce in March 2009, although the two are reportedly trying to reconcile. Boozer has three children.

High school and college basketball

Boozer was a two-time member of the PARADE All-American high school basketball team, leading the Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears to back-to-back state titles. He was recruited by many top-tier collegiate basketball programs, including St. John's and UCLA, but Boozer elected to play for coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke University, helping the team win the 2001 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.

In 2001–02, Boozer, Jason Williams, and Mike Dunleavy, Jr. each scored at least 600 points for the season, a feat only matched at Duke by Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler, and Nolan Smith in the 2009–10 season.
