"We shoulda had more": Carlos Boozer makes his feelings known about Eagles’ Pro Bowl picks
Former NBA player Carlos Boozer was like every fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. The two-time All-Star made his feelings known when Philadelphia announced its representatives on Thursday for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
He took to the comment section of the Eagles' post on Instagram and commended the players who earned their spots. He also suggested that other players of the team were either snubbed or overlooked and should have been selected.
"WELL DESERVED & we shoulda had more," Boozer wrote.
Philadelphia has six players who will represent the NFC in the 2025 Pro Bowl Games: Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, Jalen Carter, Landon Dickerson, Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens.
This year's Pro Bowl Games will take place in Orlando, Florida, with the Pro Bowl Games Championship scheduled on Feb. 2 at Camping World Stadium.
Carlos Boozer once pitched the Chicago Bulls to LeBron James
During the 2010 NBA season, Carlos Boozer joined in to pitch the Chicago Bulls to LeBron James. Boozer attempted to sway his former teammate and even formed a hypothetical lineup with him.
"I think we would have the best starting lineup out there on the floor," Boozer said, via ESPN. "That goes with Kobe and his team, the Big Three in Boston, and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) and Chris (Bosh) down there in Miami. That's my pitch to him."
The lineup featured LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Boozer and Joakim Noah. Ultimately, James took his talents to the Miami Heat in a highly publicized move that was called "The Decision," where he ended up winning his first two NBA rings.
Boozer was teammates with James with the Cleveland Cavaliers and even doubted the highly rated high school prospect. However, during his rookie season, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds, winning Boozer over.
