He has lost his mind.

He scored with his left, why is he flexing his right in celebration...

Left arms are so underrated in today's NBA.

In fairness I'm fairly known enough not to post dodgy links.

Why is Carlos Boozer so hated. Outside of that Cleveland fiasco, he seems like a good guy. Always enthusiastic.

Now it's two.

Threat title should be: So has Kobe lost his mind? He passed the ball, yo.

I personally don't think Gund made an illegal deal with Boozer. Just a gamble that backfired just like the Parsons situation this year.

Still can't believe Booz is gone. The best to ever do it. The United Center will forever been known as The House that Booz Built.

I can't speak about his Utah days, but as far as Chicago goes he was a great teammate and very professional. The issue is that he is a turn-style on defense and would just scream. Some thought it was his IQ rather than his effort, but he was never able to work with Thibs' defensive schemes. His offense was also mediocre unless he had an easy matchup in which he would "bumslay" the opposition.

Basically he could never give you what you wanted when you needed it on offense and he spent the majority of his time yelling instead of grabbing a rebound, boxing out, rotating or staying in front of his man.

That said he was almost always the first guy off the bench after a big play. Thibs sat him for the entire 4th quarter last year and he was still hollering and high fiving guys constantly.

It's a bit cringe-worthy, but that's just his character. He's always a character out there and he's a great teammate. I think the Lakers will be celebrating every basket they make this season anyway. It was a 2 pointer as well, even better!

He reminds me of old LA Karl Malone in that clip.

Yet he somehow managed 11 rebounds per 36 mins in his 4 seasons for Chicago

I thought it was funny because he took a sissy-like shot and then started flexing up.
