In 2003 he was appointed All- Rookie Second Team for his performance in the first year as a pro in the NBA. In 2004 he then moved to the Utah Jazz. This change led to a publicly -run controversy, since Boozer had given the Cavaliers reportedly a verbal commitment for another year ( at unchanged financial terms ). 2007 Boozer was first appointed to participate in the All- Star Game, to which he, however, due to an injury was unable to attend. He reached the final series of the Western Conference in the following playoffs with Utah. In 2008, he took active part in the first All-Star Game in part and was elected to the All- NBA Third Team.
