Age and Sports Fandom
By 
Allow me to cross into Paul’s lane for a moment. One thing about being a fan of sports is that you have these athletes in your head for many years. Then, just as they’ve kind of disappeared, this happens:
On Friday, five-star twins Cameron and Cayden Boozer — the No. 2 and No. 21 players, respectively, in the 2025 recruiting class — announced their long-awaited commitments to Duke, picking the Blue Devils over fellow finalists Miami and Florida.
In doing so, both continue the family legacy that their father, Carlos — who started on Duke’s 2001 national championship team, before embarking on his 13-year NBA career — began 25 years ago.
How can Carlos Boozer have sons old enough to go to Duke themselves?
Ah, aging, it sure hits you in the face every day.
