Really, it\u2019s a two-level question, or possibly three.<\/p>\n
The first level is psychological. It\u2019s the sort of question that is designed to irritate you and throw you off. So you have to kind of steady yourself emotionally first. That\u2019s very clever, really.<\/p>\n
The proper way to answer would be something like this.<\/p>\n
Part I. My father taught me to play the game in ways that he could not, so first, he\u2019s a very good teacher. He was primarily a power forward, and his skill set revolved around that. My skills overlap his. I am similarly built, but I also have a perimeter game and I can drain threes. I owe a lot of that to him. He helped Cayden and me to make sure that our fundamentals were impeccable.<\/p>\n
Part II. No one player can lead a team to a championship. It\u2019s a team game. I can help make any group better – my resume backs that up pretty solidly – but this is the most competitive league in the world. As long as I am on a team that has talent and plays together, I am totally confident that any team I am on will reach its potential, and I believe we can win championships in Utah.<\/p>\n
It occurs to us that this is a unique question that could only be asked of Boozer. You could theoretically ask Cayden, but he\u2019s a point guard, and that\u2019s different. What a remarkable question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Really, it\u2019s a two-level question, or possibly three. The first level is psychological.
