Antawn Jamison Discussion: Cockroach

I give Barnes a bit of a pass in that regard due to the fact that he always managed to find himself saddled with an injury come playoff time during his stint with us. As for Jamison, he be old, but he's still got game based on what I saw of him in Cleveland, even on those crap LeBron-less squads.

One big difference that I note between those two is that Barnes' game is reliant on a lot of athleticism and Jamison's game isn't reliant on athleticism at all. He's a knock-down jump shooter and he's a smart player that makes great decisions.

He isn't the answer to our prayers, but damn he's going to help so much. On any given night I think we can depend on him to pick up our scoring slack off the bench. No more 7 minute stretches where we rest Kobe and Gasol that evaporates any lead we may have had.

Fun note, we've been clamoring for youth and athleticism and the two guys we bring in that people are most excited about are the exact opposite.

Just listened to Mitch's interview with Stephen A. and he screwed up and called him Antwan. Like last with Brown getting Session's first name wrong.

Speaking of Antawn Jamison, you can see almost immediately why he’s averaged 19.5 points per game for his career. The guy just has a knack for the bucket, whether it’s utilizing his unique array of floaters and leaners, or finding the space in the half court to get himself open for a jumper. He told us how excited he is about the team vibe he’s already feeling, with new/hungry blood from himself, Nash, Howard and Jodie Meeks* joining the likes of Bryant with a championship in mind. Jamison can’t stop smiling as he walks around the facility.
