Fan Blog: Player Profile - Antawn Jamison

The player profile this time focuses on NBA veteran power forward, Antawn Jamison. Antawn Jamison has been in the NBA for 13 seasons. After playing at North Carolina for three years in college, Jamison was drafted with the 4th pick overall in the 1998 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors. On the day of the draft his rights were traded from the Raptors to the Golden State Warriors for ex-college teammate Vince Carter. He played for the Warriors for five seasons before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks for one season. After his short stint with Dallas he was then traded to the Washington Wizards where he actually became a major rival to the Cavaliers and played for six seasons.

Midway through his sixth season with the Wizards he was part of a midseason trade with the Cavaliers. Cleveland brought him in to serve the part as a power forward who could stretch the defenses with the range of his shot. He was thought to be the final piece to the puzzle for winning an NBA championship. Obviously things didn't work out that way but Jamison remains a focal point of the Cavalier offense today. He is averaging 17.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game this season. He is no longer the All-Star player he once was in his career but he is a great person and still a worthy player that I love having on the team.
