Call Me A Hater; What’s Up With Antawn Jamison’s One Sleeve?


I watch important basketball games. Lakers/Nuggets, Cavs/Celtics, Magic/Heat. Outside of that, I will admit that unless I have a parlay going (if gambling was legal) I don’t really care what’s going on with teams that will never make the playoffs.

Honestly, I had completely forgotten about Antawn Jamison until I heard the Cavs wrangled him in some loopy trade. Don’t be mad at me, because I’d rather watch The Office reruns than watch a Wizards game, with or without Arenas. It’s just tough to care about teams with no stake in the season.

Now that Jamison is on prime time in cities that matter, I want to know why this guy is wearing one sleeve. Does he have some weird injury that requires him to wear it? Is he showing partial love for the WNBA? Did Gilbert Arenas hold him up at gunpoint and steal the other sleeve for a prison headband?

Look, I’m glad he finally gets to be on a team someone else can carry. Seriously, I thought he was great in the 90s, but someone just please solve this mystery for me?

  1. Jamison hurt his shoulder in the pre-season, against Ilgauskas and the Cavs, and missed the Wizards' first nine games of the year. He has to wear the one-sleeved shirt to cover up the tape that protects that shoulder. The slightest bit of research probably would have answered your question before you made this inane post.

    Yeah that makes way more sense than just wearing two sleeves.

  3. Ming says:

    what reason other than injury could there be? the nba has strict uniform codes that only injury can override.
    and you thought he was great in the 90s? he was drafting in 98, meaning he played (in an unremarkable manner, i might add) for about a year and a half in the 90s.

    I really thought it was a tat that they told him had to be covered truthfully so i see where the guy who posted this is coming from
