Jazz fans will likely enjoy seeing that they are still friends.

At one point, Boozer and Williams were among the best duos in the Western Conference.

They led the Jazz to the 2007 Western Conference finals and made the NBA playoffs four times in five seasons.

Via The Utah Jazz on February 22: "Under the guidance of Jerry Sloan with key players like Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur, the Jazz returned to the Western Conference Finals during the 2006-07 NBA Playoffs followed by ‘08 and ‘09 playoff appearances."
