Just kidding.
Still, Tyrone Corbin remains a Boozer fan, just as Jerry Sloan was when he coached the Jazz.
"Great guy, great teammate, great guy to work with," Corbin said. "I spent a lot of time working with him. ... Just a great human being. We enjoyed the time we spent together."
Asked about Boozer’s critics in Utah, Corbin shook his head.
"I don’t know if the criticism was justified," he said. "But if you’re hurt, you’re hurt. What can you do? And I know he was hurt and always trying his hardest to get back. ...
"Knowing Booz — he didn’t want to miss games. He wanted to be out there with his teammates. And it hurt him more than anyone when he couldn’t be out there helping his team."
Corbin recalled one incident when Boozer tried to prematurely return from a hamstring injury.
"I was working out with him," he said, "... and he tweaked it again. The guy was hurt. So I don’t question his character — whether he wanted to play. I know he was beat up."
Injuries aside, Boozer averaged 19.3 points and 10.5 rebounds in 354 games with the Jazz, establishing himself as a top-10 player in franchise history.
