Career
High School and College
Boone attended Warwick Valley High School from 2001 to 2003. He played 45 games, compiling a total of 725 points. In his senior year, Boone was presented with the WVHS – C. Ashley Morgan Male Athlete of The Year Award. He was also a football player at Warwick Valley High. In February 2020, he was inducted into the Warwick High School Boys Basketball Hall of Fame.[1]
Following graduation in 2003, Boone played at NCAA Division 3 school New York University. He appeared in 104 career games at NYU, averaging 12.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.0 blocked shots and 1.6 assists per game. As a senior in 2006–07, Boone was NYU's second-leading scorer (14.1ppg), while also leading the Violets in rebounding (9.6rpg) and blocks (2.4bpg).[2] He earned D3hoops.com All-America Third Team honors that year.[3] During his college career, Boone also garnered 2006 All-University Athletic Association Player of the Year and 2006 and 2007 All-University Athletic Association First Team distinction.[4]
Professional
Boone started his professional career with SSV Lokomotive Bernau of Germany's third-tier Regionalliga. "I was making less than $1,000 a month. I was out there experiencing it, enjoying it and I was able to say I lived abroad", he told recordonline.com in 2010.[5] In the course of his first year in Germany, he was picked up by BG Göttingen of the country's top-flight Basketball Bundesliga, after Göttingen's Ben Jacobson, a former University of Northern Iowa player, had convinced Göttingen's head coach John Patrick to bring in Boone. Jacobson and Boone had earlier played on an NIT summer all-star team together.[5] Boone would stay in Göttingen until 2011. Thanks to his physical presence in the paint and his outgoing personality, he became a fan favorite.[6] In 2010, he helped Göttingen capture the FIBA EuroChallenge title, averaging 10.7 points and 6.8 rebounds during the title run.[7]
In 2011, Boone followed Coach John Patrick to fellow Bundesliga side S.Oliver Würzburg.[8] Statistically, his best season in the Bundesliga came in 2012–13, when he averaged 10.1 points a game in 34 contests.[9] Following a three-year stint, Boone took his game to Turkey and France, before returning to Germany in 2015. At Ludwigsburg, he again played under Coach Patrick.[10] In February 2017, Boone exercised an option to leave Ludwigsburg and accepted an offer from Polish first-division side Start Lublin,[11] where he played for the remainder of the 2016–17 campaign.
In July 2017, Boone inked a deal with CSA Steaua București of the Romanian top-flight Liga Națională.[12] In the Romanian league, Boone scored at a 7.7 points per game clip during 19:04 minutes of action per outing (20 games), while grabbing 4.8 rebounds a contest in the 2017–18 season.[13] In August 2018, he helped "Team k1x Germany" win the "Jump10" tournament in Shanghai.[14] He retired at the conclusion of the 2018–19 season, which he had spent with Romanian team SCM U Craiova. Boone subsequently moved to Los Angeles and started a career in marketing.[15] He later settled in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a client growth director for a relationship building platform and serving as an ambassador of mental health and wellness.[16]
