But hindsight reveals just how badly the Cavs’ roster was broken. It was built for 61 and 66 wins the previous two regular seasons, sure, but not for postseason success. They tried. Lord, they tried. Shaquille O’Neal, Antawn Jamison, Delonte West, a young J.J. Hickson, Shannon Brown, Daniel Gibson, an All-Star season out of Mo Williams … The Cavs tried and they tried and they tried, but they couldn’t put championship pieces around James the first time. The NBA has always been a star-driven league, and the Cavs couldn’t create enough stars before the clock ran out.
Marc J. Spears: Former Wizards star Antawn Jamison was named by Washington as its director of pro personnel. Wizards also hired Laron Profit and Joe Carideo as scouts.
So you want to become an NBA general manager someday… Antawn Jamison: Yeah. Eventually, leading a front office and getting the opportunity to put all the pieces together would be the ideal job.
Antawn Jamison: Well, the most important thing in today’s generation is winning. It’s all about winning. I think in the past, especially when I played, it was more about the destination and the market. But these guys can play in Alaska and still have unbelievable marketing and sell just about anything. Now, these guys are like, “Look, we love LA. We’re there in the offseason. But I want to know if we can win.” That’s why the Buss family and Magic and Rob are doing what they’re doing. We get it. We can’t off of the banners and past championships anymore. And instead of talking about putting more banners up there, we need to do everything possible to actually put more up there.
Antawn Jamison: Magic and those guys are going full force; they have their foot on the gas pedal and they’re trying to get people in there. And you can just tell that, of course, when you have LeBron James on your team, it makes it that much easier. And he’s doing a great job as far as bringing attention and bringing guys there. It should be fun and I’m excited to see what the future holds, especially in the next couple years.
The NBA’s obsession with water is difficult to trace, but one player who pushed the league’s taste forward is Antawn Jamison. For years, the retired NBA player, who currently works as a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers, sung the praises of water purity. Every jump shot, he would yell “Fiji,” because, as he tells it, “it was water, baby!” He even wrote it on his shoes.
