Boozer was born on a military base in West Germany, but his family soon relocated to Juneau, Alaska, where he attended Juneau-Douglas High School and began playing basketball. Boozer was the leading player for the Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears in high school, guiding them to consecutive state titles and becoming a two-time member of the PARADE All-American high school basketball team. Carlos was recruited by some of the best basketball teams in the country, but he chose to play for Duke University’s Mike Krzyzewski in 1999.
In 2001, Duke and Boozer won the NCAA championship, and he was a member of the US team that won gold at the FIBA U-21 World Championship in Saitama that same year. After graduating from college, Boozer entered the 2002 NBA Draft and was taken 35th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round. With the Cavs, he signed an average rookie contract but only stayed for two seasons, scoring 10.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in his rookie season and 15.5 points and 11.4 rebounds in his sophomore season.
Boozer was released by Cleveland and became a restricted free agent. The Utah Jazz stepped in and gave Carlos a six-year contract worth $70 million, which Cleveland couldn’t match, thus Boozer relocated to Salt Lake City. Boozer was the Jazz’s top player and one of the league’s hottest power forwards for the next six years. In the 2007-08 season, he set a career high with 21.1 points per game and 11.7 rebounds per game. Carlos also made two All-Star appearances, in 2007 and 2008, and was named to the NBA’s Third Team in 2008. That year was also his most successful in his career, as he won gold at the Beijing Olympics.

Before departing for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014, he also helped Chicago reach the playoffs in each of his four seasons, but on amnesty waivers, thus the Lakers only paid $3.25 million of his $16.8 million salary, with the Chicago Bulls covering the rest. He had a poor season in Los Angeles, averaging 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 23.8 minutes per game, but his net worth has remained consistent.
Boozer is a free agent as of mid-2016, and if he does not find a new team by the start of the 2016-17 season, he may retire.
