He was the Warriors’ best player when the team was terrible. He was fortunate enough to play on some very good Wizards teams, but his team was knocked out of the playoffs by LeBron James and Co. on three separate occasions.
It looked like Jamison finally caught a break last season when he was traded from the Wizards to the Cavaliers. The Wizards franchise appeared to be in the midst of a collapse, and it looked like Jamison was going to be the final piece of the championship puzzle for the Cavaliers.
A few months later, things are a bit different. The Wizards have John Wall, Andray Blatche, and a number of other promising young players, and the Cavs are scrambling for answers in the wake of LeBron James’ departure. When asked about what the Cavaliers will look like now that James is gone, Jamison responded with a mixture of optimism and class, saying that things will be “interesting” for the Cavaliers next season, and that the team still has enough pieces to be successful without James in the lineup.
Jamison has been a very good player in this league for a very long time, and he’s always done things the right way both on and off the court. One hopes that he can find success in yet another tough situation.
