Carlos Boozer tweets his well wishes to Zion … National Park
By Kareem Gantt
Carlos Boozer wanted to wish injured Duke superstar Zion Williamson well but instead, he sent his “get well soon” to a National Park.
After Duke phenom Zion Williamson sprained his MCL in a freak accident last night, many stars tweeted “well wishes” to the star, including Carlos Boozer.
What makes Boozer’s tweet intriguing, however, is that he missed the mark and instead tweeted his well wishes to another Zion, as in Zion National Park.
Whoops.
For those who are not familiar about Zion National Park, it’s a spectacularly beautiful piece of parkland that is located in Utah. Zion National Park has the distinction of being the state’s first national park, and it contains huge sandstone cliffs doused in cream, pink, and red.
Zion National Park is one of the state’s most visited tourist sites, and it was nice that a former NBA star would tweet love to the park, even though it wasn’t intended for them.
Flattered by the well wishes, the National Park Service had a little fun and tweeted back at Boozer, telling him thanks and that the well wishes were needed, as heavy snow was about to descend on the park, and some roads had to be closed.
Others took to his mentions to tweet out beautiful pictures of the park, and, as Twitter is, to make fun of him:
Speaking of that last tweet, we can imagine that this was Obama’s face when Zion’s shoe blew out.
Anyway, it was a fun moment on a night of dread, for both NBA and Duke fans. Boozer did what we’ve all have done at one point or another, and sometimes, you got to just laugh it off and keep on tweeting.
