Antawn Jamison, a former All-American for the North Carolina Tar Heels, will be inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. Other members of the Hall’s Class of 2016 include the Carolina Hurricanes’ Rod Brind’Amour, Gastonia’s Eric “Sleepy” Floyd, and the late Ray Price.
Before coming to Chapel Hill, Antawn Jamison starred at Charlotte’s Providence High School. He was a McDonald’s All-American in 1995 and was North Carolina’s Mr. Basketball.
As a Tar Heel, Jamison went to two Final Fours. He was named the National Player of the Year in 1998 and was a consensus first-team All-American. He earned second-team All-American honors in 1997. Antawn earned All-ACC first-team honors each of his three season in college. Jamison played on the last team coached by Dean Smith and the first coached by Bill Guthridge.
In the NBA, Jamison made two All-Star teams in his 16-season career. He retired in 2014.
The nine-member Class of 2016 includes Jamison, Rod Brind’Amour, Eric “Sleepy” Floyd, David Fox, James “Rabbit” Fulghum, Haywood Jeffires, Freddy Johnson, Ray Price and Susan Yow.
The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, which inducted its first class in 1963, celebrates excellence and extraordinary achievement in athletics. The Hall of Fame also commemorates and memorializes exceptional accomplishments in sports for the inspiration and enjoyment of all North Carolinians, especially the youth, through popular exhibits and educational displays.
