The Utah Jazz deserve two All-Stars

The very first iPhone had just been announced by Steve Jobs.
Rihanna came out with her new hit song “Umbrella”.
The first Transformers movie made its debut.
Something else super rare and super cool happened in 2007; the Utah Jazz had two players named as NBA All-Stars.
Carlos Boozer was selected as a reserve and Memhet Okur named a replacement as both got their first career All-Star nods. It was a pretty big deal back in 2007 as the Jazz were making their way to the top of the Western Conference with a surging young guard in Deron Williams. That team will always have a special place in my heart.
