Antawn Jamison appreciation thread 

Post#1 » by Slava » Tue Apr 30, 2013 3:08 pm

Looks like Antawn is not going to be coming back to the Lakers next season. So an appreciation thread is in order.

Thanks for the professionalism, leadership, positive attitude and toughness to play through the injury for the team's cause 'Tawn. Hope the rest of the career goes well.

He's easily one of the most likeable players in the league for his off ball movement and scoring off very little usage.

Is he retiring or just signing for another team?

Not gonna miss him at all. Good player but he's past his prime.

Typically played pretty well when he got consistent minutes. Watching him slip the screen was a thing of beauty.

His ability to play off the ball is uncanny. One of the best in the league in that aspect.

I think the spurs would be a nice fit for him, replace Stephen Jackson's spot.

His age really showed but he played through injury and through pain for this team and didn't give up on us or back down. Thank you Jamison

I really think D'Antoni really needs to have a heart to heart with him and we need to bring him back.
