NBA News: Knicks, Carlos Boozer, Allen Iverson

Boozer has earned everything he’s getting from bad PR moves. This whole unhappy Carlos Boozer Saga started, it seems to me, last December. After the injury-battered Jazz scored what should have been an uplifting win at New Jersey, Boozer ruined the moment for everyone but his accountant by telling an ESPN reporter that he planned to opt out of his contract at the end of the season because, no matter what happened after that, he’d get a raise.

Boozer gave the selfish-sounding interview in street clothes, after missing another game with a knee injury that kept him out two more months and, in reality, negatively impacted his entire season.

Boozer’s timing was so strange — so anti-teammate — that the Jazz’s late owner, Larry Miller, called it the “one of the top 10 stupidest things I’ve heard an NBA player do in 20 years.” -Salt Lake Tribune
