Antawn Jamison

He set the record for the Wiz, right, for a debut?

I think he matched Antoine Jamison.

Oh, yeah.

If I have that, he also might have surpassed it as the game went on.

I don't know if we've actually talked about him that much yet, funny enough.

But yeah, he tied the record for points in a Wizards debut with Antoine Jamison.

Yeah, he and Traylor both

had double-doubles.

He set the record for the Wiz,

right, for a debut? I think he matched Antoine Jamison.

Oh, yeah.

He also might have surpassed it as the game went on.

And then he got traded again, right? So I think you've got a player who's super motivated.

He's in a contract year, and he's in shape, he's healthy, and he can still dominate.

And I think it's really important to note that the game that he had last night, which I think he had 30 points through three quarters, ended up with 34, matched Antoine Jamison's franchise record for a debut.

It was opposite Miles Turner, who's led the league in blocks twice.

The ringer gave it a D.

His comps were Antoine Jamison, the Morris twins, and a baseman of Jabari Parker.

Bleach Report said they could have chased upside with Reddish.

Hachimura doesn't have the same ceiling.

Yeah, yeah.

Antawn Jamison, though, did lead every game in scoring.

Hmm.

Just so you know.

And whether that's going to their hometown, like I did with Nicola, in the summertime getting to know him his family their culture and then when they see that you've taken a genuine interest in who they are and you care about who they are that's going to allow your relationship to get to a much deeper level both on and off the court so you mentioned Draymond you mentioned DeMarcus you mentioned all the guys that I've been around it all starts with relationships and spending the time to make those relationships really matter and take hold

One relationship I want to ask you about is with Tar Heel legend Antoine Jamison, because we hear about how players, especially Dean Smith's players, were very big on having members of the Carolina family lead the program forward.

You didn't have much of an overlap with him coaching, but he was somebody that really stood on the table saying, hey, this is a guy who should lead our program.

What does that relationship mean to you, and what did his advocacy mean to you?

Not that Giannis and Zion would be compatible players, but, like, a superstar who's such a flight risk that you're willing to take a desperate leap at some kind of talent.

Like, at e- end of first Cavs run, LeBron, like, let's bring in Antoine Jamison, let's bring in Shaq.

Like, let's just put, like, people here who he knows and might be able to produce in some capacity.

'Cause you're right, the stakes are too high for Zion to play for anything that really matters, uh, and too hard to rely on him to be a, like a, a load-bearing member of a team like that.
