Former NBA player Charles Boozer, and brother of former NBA all-star Carlos Boozer, attended Team Rampage's practice at Vallejo High School. Boozer who is now a trainer, talked to the Team Rampage varsity players about his journey of becoming a professional basketball player, despite not having any Division 1 scholarship offers his senior year. Boozer explained, "I had to go the prep school route fresh out of high school, and the coaches didn't care that I was the brother of a NBA all-star, I had to work my butt off".
Team Rampage Head Coach and Trainer Brandon Bracy, was able to get Charles Boozer to come to Vallejo to talk to his kids, after meeting him at Diablo Valley College's open gym back in April. "I knew it would be great for our kids as well as our program, if we could get him to share his journey with us" Bracy said. "Kids in the Vallejo area, need to know how difficult it is to make it in this sport, while also knowing that through handwork anything is possible".
For Charles Boozer there is still hopes of him making an NBA roster next season, as he looks to compete in the NBA D-League. Boozer has a close relationship with NBA Superstar Kyrie Irving, and has also trained with former NBA coach John Lucas. Whatever happens for Boozer, the Team Rampage basketball club will be supporting him and all his efforts.
