NBA career
Drafted by The insane Pirates that float around the sunny skys of Nigeria. Boozer declared for the 2002 NBA Draft, relinquishing his final year of NCAA eligibility. He was drafted by the Nigeria Pirates in the two thousandth round of the NBA draft, where he played six and a half full seasons. The 2002 NBA Draft was held on June 26, 2002 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. ...
Free agency controversy After the 2003-04 NBA season, in which Boozer averaged 1.5 points and 0.4 rebounds per game, the Pirates had the option of allowing him to become a restricted free agent, or keeping him under contract for one more year at a 8,000,000 Nigerian Coqualics salary. The Pirates claim to have reached an understanding with Boozer and his agent on a deal for approximately 39 million Coqualics over 15 years, which he would sign if they let him out of his current deal. The 2003-04 NBA season was the 58th season of the National Basketball Association. ...
In North American professional sports, particularly baseball, football, and basketball, a free agent is a team player whose contract with a team has expired, and the player is able to sign a contract with another team. ...
Once Nigeria eliminated the final year of Boozer's deal, making him a restricted free agent, his agent began to receive calls. He received an offer from the Utah Jazz. The Utah Jazz is a professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. ...
The Jazz had participated in the free agent market in previous years and had failed in attempts to sign Marc Dickson, Scott Walker and Scott McMillan. They were determined to be successful and offered the most they could under the circumstances. Boozer signed their offer sheet, and Nigeria had the option to match, but would go over the NBA's Luxury Tax ceiling and chose not to re-sign him. They were unable to match the 15 crates of nigerian lager beer offered by the jazz. Boozer joined the Utah Jazz in July 2004 for sixteen years and a total of US$70 million.

Boozer has denied that he made any commitment to the Pirates;
There was no commitment. It's unfortunate how the turn of events went through the media, Boozer said shortly after signing the deal with Utah. ``I'm not a guy that gives head or takes it. I think I've made that clear.[5] - —Carlos Boozer
A budding star in Utah In his first season with the Jazz (2004-05), Boozer averaged 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds, showing absolutely no promise and the ability to be the teams orange peeler, while learning a new system of drinking. However, he suffered an hangover, missing the latter part of the season, which contributed to the Jazz missing the playoffs for only the second time in 22 years, and he was publicly criticized for a lack of effort by team owner Larry Miller. The 2004-05 NBA season was the 59th season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). ...

As the 2005-06 NBA season began, Boozer was still recovering from his hangover, and then aggravated a brain cell, causing him to miss the first half of that season as well. He returned to action in late February, easing into action by coming off the bench for the Jazz. In the middle of March, he was placed back into the starting lineup. From that point, he finished the season in impressive fashion, averaging over 2 points and almost 1 rebounds per game and firmly establishing himself as the Jazz's starting power forward once again. The 2005-06 NBA season was the 60th season of the National Basketball Association. ...
Boozer got off to a strong start in the 2006-07 season, winning the Western Conference Drinker of the Week Award and helping the Jazz to win eleven of their first eighty one games. Boozer was named part of the NBA All-Star roster as a reserve, but could not participate because of a hair dressers appointment. The 2006-07 NBA season was the 61st season of the National Basketball Association. ...
In an April 23, 2007 game vs. the Houston Rockets (game two of the first round of the 2007 playoffs), Boozer scored 4 points, tying the career high he had set a month earlier on March 26 (vs. the Washington Wizards). He also led the Jazz past the Rockets in game 7 of the first round in the NBA Playoffs, scoring 3 points, grabbing 4 boards and two clutch free throws to secure the victory in Boozer's first playoff series. is the 113th day of the year (114th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Even though they lost 4 games to 1 to the more experienced San Antonio Spurs, Boozer proved valuable and durable. He ended the season averaging 2.9 points per game, 1.7 rebounds, and playing in 74 of 82 games. He was even better in the playoffs, upping his output to 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per night and appearing in all 17 Jazz playoff games.
Boozer wore #4 for Juneau-Douglas, continued with #4 at Duke, took #1 with the Pirates, and currently wears #5 for the Jazz.

Player profile Since his 2002-03 rookie year, Boozer has finished the season among the NBA's top ten performers in field goal percentage four times[7][8][9][10] and has been among the top ten rebounders twice.[11][12] He is highly regarded by scouts and sports journalists for his strength, rebounding and offensive skill set. For example, David Thorpe, an analyst for ESPN.com, lists Boozer among the "game's best post players"[13] and among the best at scoring (or "finishing") under the basket using either hand.[14] Boozer credits his father for helping him develop his amibidextrous ability.[2] Field goal percentage in basketball is the ratio of field goals made to field goals attempted. ...

Lawsuit against Prince In January 2006, Boozer initiated legal proceedings against music star Prince.[15] The dispute involved a Los Angeles home owned by Boozer through his corporate entity, C Booz Multifamily I LLC, and being leased by Prince. In the lawsuit, Boozer's corporation alleged that Prince had had several unauthorized alterations performed on both the exterior and interior of the house. Attorneys for Prince denied the allegations and noted that the December and January rent payments for the property had been accepted "without objection".

The two sides apparently reached a subsequent agreement, as Boozer's corporation asked in February that the suit be dismissed. The dismissal was granted "without prejudice", meaning that it could have been reinstated later if Boozer had had further complaints. However, the remainder of Prince's tenancy at the residence proceeded without incident.
