I was pretty shocked to see last night’s news about Trevor Booker retiring from the NBA. The former Utah Jazz forward is only 32 years old, but is completely set on entering the next chapter of his life.
Booker played eight NBA seasons, two of which came with the Jazz in 2014-15 and 2015-16. He was able to consistently carve himself out a role regardless of where he was playing. Utah Jazz fans came to love the man thanks to his constant energy and effort.
He was never a star, he was never a starter and he never averaged double-figures with the Jazz, but yet, his play was one of the more memorable events during two seasons in which the Jazz were fighting to take the next step as a team.
