Looking forany autographTrevor Booker
One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Trevor Booker: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
Twenty bowls of cereal a week fed a country-strong kid from rural Whitmire, South Carolina, who became the state's Gatorade Player of the Year and a first-team All-ACC senior at Clemson. Drafted 23rd in 2010 and dealt to Washington on draft night, Booker joined Utah on a two-year, $10 million contract in 2014 and had his career night as a Jazzman — 36 points against Portland in April 2015.
His parents Gerald and Tracey were both accomplished athletes, and it was his mother who drew her sons to basketball by showing them highlights of her own high school playing days. Booker's eight NBA seasons closed with stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Indiana.
HOW HE CAME & WENTWashington declined to tender a qualifying offer, so Utah signed the unrestricted free agent on July 21, 2014 for two years and $10 million. Two seasons later he left in free agency for Brooklyn.
