Former NBA player Carlos Boozer had a simple yet meaningful response to his son Cameron Boozer's reflective Instagram post on Friday. The post featured a series of on-court images and included a thought-provoking caption.
"Short cuts lead to long delays," Cameron wrote.
Carlos took to the comments section with a motivational two-word response.
"Grind Mode,” Carlos commented.
Cameron's brother and teammate, Cayden Boozer, along with fellow Duke commit Nikolas Khamenia, also shared their thoughts about the post.
"I don't like delayed flights," Cayden wrote.
"Good caption," Nikolas said.
Fans also reacted to the post and shared their thoughts.
"You only reap what you sow," one fan wrote.
"I've heard that phrase toooo many times," another fan said.
Meanwhile, others took the opportunity to heap praise on the five-star prospect.
"He's SPECIAL!" one fan said.
"MY GOAT. Can't wait to see you at Duke," another fan wrote.
Cameron has been on top of his game this season, playing a pivotal role in leading the Christopher Columbus High School Explorers (Florida) to a strong 14-3 record. Although the team hit a rough patch recently, losing two consecutive games after a 13-game winning streak, they have successfully turned things around after defeating Rivera Prep on Friday.
Columbus High School kickstarts 2025 with a win
After closing out 2024 with two consecutive losses, Columbus High School was more than desperate to grab a win in its first game of the year against Rivera Prep. Fortunately, the team came out with a blowout 61-44 victory.
With the win, not only did the Explorers improve to 14-3 for the season, but they are also back to their winning ways. They will look to build more momentum with another victory against Coral Park High School on Wednesday.
