“Family, Redefined”: Boozer Twins Land SLAM Cover as They Prepare to Write a New Chapter at Duke
Durham, NC — June 21, 2025 The moment is more than poetic. It’s generational. It’s destiny rewritten with fresh ink.
Carlos Boozer, former Duke legend and two-time NBA All-Star, is now living one of the most emotional full-circle moments a father can experience. His twin sons, Cameron and Cayden Boozer, are not only following in his footsteps by committing to Duke University they’re doing so in style, gracing the cover of SLAM Magazine in full Blue Devil gear.
The magazine’s headline was simple and powerful: “Family.”
Carlos needed only one word to share how he felt on Instagram:
“Family.”
And in that word lies an entire legacy past, present, and future.
A SLAM-Worthy Beginning
SLAM Magazine, the cultural bible of basketball since the ’90s, officially introduced the Boozer twins to the world on a grand stage. The cover features Cameron, a 6’9” five-star power forward and No. 3 overall recruit in the 2025 class, alongside Cayden, a skilled and savvy point guard known for his floor leadership and basketball IQ.
The duo lit up high school courts at Christopher Columbus High School in Florida and both earned selections to the 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game. Cameron also dominated the awards circuit winning Gatorade National Player of the Year, Florida Mr. Basketball, and Mr. Basketball USA honors.
Their paths were highly sought after with Miami, Florida, and others pushing hard but in the end, Durham called them home.
“We Just Wanted to Make Our Own”
But this isn’t a nostalgia trip.
The Boozer brothers are not trying to be clones of Carlos. As Cayden made clear in the SLAM feature:
“We just wanted to make our own.”
Cameron echoed that sentiment, highlighting how their dad’s NBA journey taught them the little things the unseen sacrifices, the mental preparation, the work that no one claps for.
“There are so many small things,” he said. “Just kind of like what it takes to be an NBA player.”
Their message is loud and clear: this is their journey.
From Carlos to Cameron & Cayden: A Duke Legacy Evolves
Carlos Boozer made his mark at Duke from 1999 to 2002, helping lead the Blue Devils to a 2001 national championship. He was a powerhouse in the paint, later becoming a two-time All-Star in the NBA with stints in Cleveland, Utah, Chicago, and the Lakers.
Now, more than two decades later, his twin sons are heading to the same hardwood, the same locker room, and the same rabid fans in Cameron Indoor but with a new blueprint.
This isn’t just a legacy. It’s a reboot with fresh fire.
The Next Chapter for Duke Basketball
Head coach Jon Scheyer continues to prove that Duke’s pipeline to the future is elite and personal. The Boozer twins add talent, legacy, and star power to a 2025 class that could shape the next era of Duke dominance.
With Cameron’s inside-out dominance and Cayden’s poise at the point, the Blue Devils now have a duo that’s not just ready to win games they’re ready to write their own chapter in one of college basketball’s most storied books.
Bottom Line:
Carlos Boozer’s sons are headed to Durham.
But this isn’t a repeat. It’s a revolution.
Cameron and Cayden Boozer aren’t chasing a legacy they’re building one.
Together.
In Duke blue.
On their own terms.
