It's nice to know habits of the opposing team.

He just needs the ball. Desires the ball. Has to have the dang ball.

There really is reasoning, though, behind the madness.

"Sometimes you don't get to touch the ball much as a big man," Boozer said, "so you just go touch it to see what it feels like."

As if he might have forgotten in the 60 seconds or so since he touched it last.

"He (Boozer) just wants to touch it," Korver said.

Korver, however, takes things to another level.

hahahaha wtf....

He can touch the ball during "dead ball" as much as he wants when his team exits the first round.

I kind of understand getting a feel for the ball. When you don't touch it, it's a little foreign. Obsessed with touching it......that's the unique part. Boozer also likes to bounce twice at the line before popping it. He's a good shot though so can't blame his methods.

Boozer is the ball inspector.

Thanks for posting this. I have always wondered about Booz and why he is always touching the ball. Knew about Korver, but not CJ.

Never noticed.

I used to think I'd be a good police detective. WTF was I thinking. I'm about the most oblivious person walking the planet. At least I'm aware of my limitations now. Some of them anyway.
