==Early life==
Jamison was born in [[Shreveport, Louisiana]]. His parents named him "Antwan", but the hospital misspelled it "Antawn" on his birth certificate.<ref>{{cite web|last=Joseph|first=Bob|title=Tar Heel Pros News & Notes|url=http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/606298.html|work=Inside Carolina|publisher=Scout.com|access-date=June 30, 2011|date=January 3, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929003547/http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/606298.html|archive-date=September 29, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> The error was never corrected, but the pronunciation (as "Antoine") did not change.<ref>{{cite web|last=Heyman |first=Bob |title=Why Search Is the Antawn Jamison of Marketing |url=https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/30701/ |work=MediaPost |access-date=June 30, 2011 |date=June 2, 2005 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216151146/http://www.mediapost.com/publications/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=30701 |archive-date=February 16, 2009 }}</ref> Jamison played [[basketball]] and [[American football|football]] (as a [[quarterback]]) at [[Quail Hollow Middle School]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]].<ref name="About Antawn">{{cite web|title=About Antawn|url=http://antawnjamison.com/aboutantawn.html|publisher=AntawnJamison.com|access-date=June 30, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707145657/http://antawnjamison.com/aboutantawn.html|archive-date=July 7, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> He went on to play high school basketball at Charlotte's [[Providence High School (North Carolina)|Providence High School]], where he was named a [[McDonald's All-American]] after his senior season,<ref>{{cite web|title=Charlotte Royals Hall of Fame|url=http://www.charlotteroyals.com/halloffame.htm|publisher=Charlotte Royals|access-date=June 30, 2011}}</ref> during which he averaged 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game.<ref>{{Cite news|title=HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL ALL-USA HONORABLE MENTIONS|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=April 21, 1995|page=11C}}</ref>

==College career==
Jamison played three seasons of [[college basketball]] for the [[North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball|University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]], averaging 19.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/antawn-jamison-1.html|title=Antawn Jamison College Stats|website=College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com}}</ref> In his junior year, he was awarded both the [[Naismith College Player of the Year|Naismith]] and [[John R. Wooden Award|Wooden Awards]] as the most outstanding men's college basketball player for the 1997–98 season. Jamison decided to forgo his senior year of eligibility and enter the NBA draft in 1998. He subsequently returned and earned a B.A. in [[African-American studies|Afro-American and African studies]], graduating in August 1999.<ref>[http://www.indystar.com/article/20100402/SPORTS0609/4020331/They-got-game-do-NCAA-players-graduate- They got game, but do NCAA players graduate?]</ref>

On March 1, 2000, Jamison's #33 was retired at the [[Dean E. Smith Center]], the seventh Tar Heel so honored.

==Professional career==

===Golden State Warriors (1998–2003)===
Jamison was selected with the fourth pick of the [[1998 NBA draft]] by the [[Toronto Raptors]], who then dealt his rights to the [[Golden State Warriors]] in exchange for former North Carolina teammate and best friend [[Vince Carter]]. Jamison spent the first five years of his NBA career with the Warriors. He scored a career-high 51 points on two occasions, back-to-back against Seattle and the Lakers (the Warriors won that game). He averaged a career-high 24.9 points per game in [[2000–01 NBA season|2000–01]], his third season in the league. Following his breakout season, Jamison signed a 6-year, $86 million contract extension through the 2007–08 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/2001/0828/1245033.html#:~:text=Jamison%2C%20the%20league's%20ninth%2Dleading,worth%20more%20than%20%2486%20million.|title=Jamison's six-year deal worth $86 million|date=August 28, 2001 |access-date=June 7, 2025}}</ref>

=== Dallas Mavericks (2003–2004) ===
In 2003, Jamison was traded to the [[Dallas Mavericks]] in a nine-player deal that sent him, forwards [[Danny Fortson]] and [[Chris Mills (basketball)|Chris Mills]], and guard [[Jiří Welsch]] to the Mavs and guard [[Nick Van Exel]], center [[Evan Eschmeyer]], guard [[Avery Johnson]], and forwards [[Popeye Jones]] and [[Antoine Rigaudeau]] to the Warriors. With Dallas, Jamison experienced his first winning season in [[2003–04 NBA season|2003–04]] as the Mavericks finished 52–30 and made the playoffs, which also marked the first time in his career that Jamison had experienced post-season play. Jamison was named as the NBA's [[NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award|Sixth Man of the Year]] for his efforts. The Mavericks suffered a setback in the first round, falling in five games to the [[Sacramento Kings]].

===Washington Wizards (2004–2010)===
[[File:Antawn Jamison Wizards 2006-07.jpg|right|upright|thumb|Jamison with the Wizards in 2007]]
At season's end Jamison was traded again, this time to the Wizards, in exchange for former Tar Heel [[Jerry Stackhouse]], [[Christian Laettner]], and a first-round draft pick (which turned out to be [[Wisconsin Badgers basketball|University of Wisconsin–Madison]] point guard, [[Devin Harris]]). The trade reunited Jamison with former Golden State teammates [[Gilbert Arenas]] and [[Larry Hughes]].

In the [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05 season]] with the Wizards, he was named to the NBA All-Star team for the first time in his career and the Wizards enjoyed a solid 45–37 win–loss season, their finest effort in 26 years. They also made the [[NBA Playoffs|playoffs]] for the first time since 1997 and advanced to the second round for the first time since 1982.

In 2006, Jamison played for the [[United States men's national basketball team|US national team]] in the [[2006 FIBA World Championship]], winning a bronze medal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.usabasketball.com/history/mwc_2006.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070827012905/http://www.usabasketball.com/history/mwc_2006.html|url-status=dead|title=2006 USA Basketball|archive-date=August 27, 2007}}</ref>

Jamison led the Wizards against the [[2006–07 Cleveland Cavaliers season|Cleveland Cavaliers]] in the first round of the [[2007 NBA Playoffs|2007 playoffs]]. Jamison averaged 32 points and 10 rebounds per game during the series.

During the [[2007–08 NBA season|2007–08 season]], Jamison was named to his second NBA Eastern All-Star team. On June 30, 2008, he signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the Wizards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thesportcount.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/antawn-stays-put/|title=Antawn Stays Put|date=June 30, 2008}}</ref>

===Cleveland Cavaliers (2010–2012)===
[[File:Antawn Jamison Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks cropped.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Jamison with the Cavaliers in 2010]]
On February 17, 2010, Jamison was traded to the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] as part of a three-team, six-player trade that sent [[Al Thornton]] from the [[Los Angeles Clippers]] to the [[Washington Wizards]], [[Žydrūnas Ilgauskas]], a [[Lazar Hayward|2010 first-round pick]] and the rights to [[Emir Preldžič]] from Cleveland to Washington, [[Drew Gooden (basketball)|Drew Gooden]] from Washington to Los Angeles and [[Sebastian Telfair]] from Los Angeles to Cleveland. In his first game with the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] against the [[Charlotte Bobcats]], Jamison scored only two points from two free throws as he went 0 for 12 from the field.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/wizards/news/trade_100217.html|title=Wizards Acquire Ilgauskas, Thornton and First-Round Pick In Three-Team Deal|work=NBA.com|date=February 17, 2010|access-date=February 17, 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100219080600/http://www.nba.com/wizards/news/trade_100217.html| archive-date= February 19, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> In his second game with the Cavaliers, Jamison scored 19 points against the [[Orlando Magic]].
The Cleveland Cavaliers made the NBA playoffs as the team with the best record. The Cavaliers defeated [[Derrick Rose]] and the [[Chicago Bulls]] in five games, but fell to the [[Boston Celtics]] in 6 games. Weeks after the series, Jamison's teammate [[LeBron James]] left the Cavaliers, to join the [[Miami Heat]] alongside [[Dwyane Wade]] and [[Chris Bosh]].

The Cavaliers had very little success in the [[2010–11 NBA season]], setting an NBA record 26-game losing streak (breaking a mark set by the franchise in 1983). That streak was finally snapped with a 126–119 overtime win against the Los Angeles Clippers. In January 2011, Jamison said that he was considering retirement, and that his 2011–12 season could be his last.<ref>Tomasson, Chris [http://nba.fanhouse.com/2011/01/16/antawn-jamison-says-next-season-could-be-his-last/ "Antawn Jamison Says Next Season Could Be His Last"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110119022947/http://nba.fanhouse.com/2011/01/16/antawn-jamison-says-next-season-could-be-his-last/ |date=January 19, 2011 }}, ''FanHouse'', January 16, 2011, accessed January 18, 2011.</ref> On February 27, in a loss to the [[Philadelphia 76ers|76ers]], Jamison was fouled and broke his left pinky.

==Philanthropy==
Jamison awarded his first Antawn C. Jamison Scholarship at his high school alma mater in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.antawnjamison.com/a-better-tomorrow|title=A Better Tomorrow|website=antawnjamison}}</ref> He has also launched a campaign which he calls "A Better Tomorrow" which he hopes to use to provide the underprivileged with a chance at a better future. He says of the project: "As a professional athlete, I have an obligation to help those less fortunate. I really enjoy being in a position to aid my community – both in the Bay Area and back home in Charlotte – and put a smile on somebody's face. That is what it is all about. I think it is especially important to give back during the holidays, when people tend to feel a little down if things are not going too well."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.antawnjamison.com/tomorrow.html |title=Antawn Jamison<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=April 8, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060325211445/http://www.antawnjamison.com/tomorrow.html |archive-date=March 25, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
