Carlos Boozer was one of the best power forwards of his era. The former Duke star most recently played in the NBA during the 2014-15 season when he was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Boozer recently made a post to Instagram with a heartfelt message for his mother.
He wrote: "Screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY To The Best Mom A Son Could Ever Ask For!!! 70 Years Young!!! We Celebrate You Every Day But Especially TODAY 🎉🎉🎉 Love You Ma 💕 #70yearsyoung " Several former NBA players left comments on Boozer's post. Mark Jackson: "Happy Birthday!!!" Jay Williams: "Love you Momma Booz" Quentin Richardson: "HBD to ya moms fam!! 💯❤️" Mateen Cleaves: "Happy Birthday momma!!!!" Considering Boozer hasn't played in the NBA in a decade, fans will likely enjoy seeing his life update (and the former player's comments). The 43-year-old also has two sons who are among the best basketball prospects in the country.
