Jamison has somewhat of a forgotten legacy. He was a baller for around a decade and was an all star a couple of times. Yet as time has gone on, most cardinals don’t mention him. It appears like he has somewhat of a forgotten legacy?
What player is good and at times great but overlooked?
Biggest reason for this is no real accolades in the NBA other than all-star apperance
Zach Lavine rings a bell as a guy who has balled out some nights but no real playoff moments
most cardinals don’t mention him
You must have missed the debate about his legacy during the Council of Trent

LeMarcus Aldridge is one.
LMA had way more All-Star and All-NBA appearances, but a lot of that was because he had real teammates.
They played 1083 and 1076 games.
They scored 20,042 points and 20,558 points.
They had 8,157 and 8,736 rebounds.
They were both volume scorers who were both below league average in TS%.
Aldridge was a better defender, but these two are a good example of similar guys being put into different situations. LMA played with Roy, Lillard, and Leonard. Jamison played with a dude who wanted to shoot his teammates.
Isn’t Aldridge borderline HOF? I think that puts him out of the conversation.
Aldridge was just way way way better overall
Antwan Jamison has a legacy?
Jamison wasn’t that good. He was the epitome of the guy who scored a lot of points because he was on bad teams who needed someone to take those shots. He didn’t do enough else well to turn him into a winning player while being an often-below-average efficiency high-volume scorer.
He lost his hops pretty quickly and it was impressive the way he found a way to still be a reasonably effective scorer around the basket, and he probably would have been a lot better in today’s NBA. But he was a largely frustrating player to watch because the scoring wasn’t that good and there wasn’t a lot else there.
