Carlos Boozer had a great Duke career. He came in with Jason Williams and Mike Dunleavy and, along with Shane Battier and Chris Duhon, won the national championship in 2001.
He went from a second-round draft pick to a two-time All Star and needless to say made a good living in the league and, for that matter, beyond. And, lest we forget, he helped Team USA win gold in 2008 when he played for Mike Krzyzewski in Beijing.
His life hasn’t been all roses though, as his new book details. Called Every Shot Counts: A Memoir of Resilience, Boozer talks about many things, including of course his time at Duke, but the most startling thing is the story of a friend of his dying in his arms after being shot.
