Have you ever wondered why 6’9″, 266 pound, muscle bound Carlos Boozer always settles for a 10 foot turnaround jumper instead of using his giant frame to get inside the paint, despite of the mismatch? Well, that’s because he is actually a Jedi warrior and when you are a Jedi, you have this ability called “the force,” which allows you to move objects with your mind. While this explains the height of his jump shot and that ridiculous high arc of his, it does not get into why he is one of the most frustrating players to watch in the NBA. You see, Boozer might be one of the rare owners of the force, but he is not at all close to harnessing his powers. So on those nights where he completely loses control, let’s just say he is responsible for more than just his own hair loss. Now if only he can get on Kobe’s level, then maybe things will get a little better, or not.
