During the NBA Draft, Cameron Boozer, a highly anticipated prospect, was selected third overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. While Boozer, a standout forward from Duke University, was a focal point of the evening, his mother, Cindy, widely known as CeCe, captured the attention of many on social media.
Boozer, who earned the National College Player of the Year award and was a consensus All-American during his season at Duke, was joined for an ESPN interview following his selection by his older brother Carmani, his twin brother and former Duke teammate Cayden, his father and former NBA player Carlos Boozer, and his mother. It was CeCe who generated considerable online discussion due to her appearance.
Social media platforms were flooded with comments about CeCe Boozer. Users on X remarked on her appearance, with one post stating, 'These booser [sic] boys momma is a dime piece.' Another user commented, 'Omg sheeeeesh boozers momma is sexy.'
CeCe Boozer also spoke with ESPN's Lisa Salters during the broadcast. Reflecting on her son's basketball journey, she said, 'I think it's really just faith over fear. So we battle that adversity as a family and now we get to celebrate as a family and be here to watch Cameron. I just couldn't be more proud.'
Cameron Boozer emphasized the importance of his family, particularly his mother, on draft night. He shared memories of his mother driving him to practices and tournaments during his childhood. 'I don't even know how to describe it honestly, man. … It's my moment, but it's our moment as a family,' he told reporters.
