In April of 2020, after eight seasons in the NBA, with the Wizards, Jazz, Nets, Sixers and Pacers, and an international stint in China, Trevor Booker called it a career and hung up his kicks.
Booker always was a good role player, throughout his NBA career. Interestingly enough, even though he never was a star in this league, Booker owns one of the most memorable moments of the past decade.
His granny-style-volleyball-esque-backwards shot to beat the shot clock.
During his appearance on our Court Cases podcast (SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3k0QI5t APPLE: https://apple.co/2OA6kRI), Booker revealed that he still gets approached by people asking about that shot on the daily.
OpenCourt-Basketball’s Len Werle: „Back in Utah, you had probably the shot of the decade. 0.2 seconds on the shot clock, behind the back, volleyball like shot . It’s been quite some time since that happened. Do you still get approached by fans or by other people asking about that shot?“
Trevor Booker: „Yeah, I get approached about it all the time. They realize who I am, especially by kids at my school, they talk about this shot all the time, asking me how I did it. I actually just reposted the video last night… I was talking about how terrible my mohawk was when I made that shot…“
