Remember this? Antawn Jamison's Back to Back 51's

Antawn Jamison used to be my favorite player. I even saw him at Stoneridge mall once but didn't bother him. On the court, he's always seemed like a good guy. He's got some funky offensive moves, but he gets it done and puts up the numbers.

I was taking a trip down memory lane and remembered how he put in one of the greatest performances by a Warrior. Back to back 51 point games in the 2000-2001 season. The first came against Seattle and the next came against one of the best teams in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did Jamison drop 51, but Kobe did as well. This is the only video I could find on it. So please excuse the Laker announcers and the "LakersRule24" plastered on the video. Funny how it's a video of Kobe's 51, Jamison scores 51 also AND the Dubs win (if I recall correctly).

It was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dreadful season. The crowd is LOUD and just going nuts. I wish I was at that game.

Yeah we did win that game!

I remember that. Jamison scored 51 in a losing effort against Seattle (which wasn’t televised) and comes back the next night to score 51 again to beat the Lakers. Great memories. Oh what could have been….

Arenas
Richardson
Jamison
Insert rebounding power forward here
Insert defensive center here

we had the worst record in the league in 2002

Well i’m not sure if it was 2002 but I remember we were tied with the Bulls for worst record in the league. Had we gotten the first pick in the draft.

PG: Gilbert Arenas
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Antawn Jamison
PF: Troy Murphy (?)
C: Yao Ming

Yeah... still had the 3rd pick...

Arenas
Richardson
Jamison
Murphy
Stoudemire….

or maybe bring Murphy off the bench as the 6th man and start Foyle as a defensive presence (I’m sure 1-4 of that line-up could have held the offense down)

You know

I believe Gary St. Jean (the Warriors “GM” at the time) is on record as saying he was going to use the 1st pick on Jay- not Jason- Williams.

The game was in 2000...

I actually recorded it at the time. Its one of the better regular-season games I think I"ve seen, Warrior fan or not. And no need to appologize for the legend Chick Hearn on the broadcast! I love Fitz and Barnett, but Chick could do it all on both radio and tv at once…

Cool.

I'm pretty sure.

Back then, though, there was a warriors dedicated video. I wonder where that went.

That video really kills it. We need a warrirs one.

Great game

I had that entire game on my computer for about 2 years now but haven’t really gotten a chance to watch it all yet. Hopefully Monta can give us that type of performance one day =]

Do you remember the Wizards game?

Michael Jordan’s last game in the Bay…. Arenas hit 40+ and Jamison had like 35+…. very close to being the first duo in a long time to both hit 40+ in one game.

What the hell ever happened to my man Chris Porter?

Bagging groceries.

Ah, but what a sweet, sweet fro he had. Guy used to tear rims up at Auburn. But dumb as a box of rocks.

I miss....

Chris Porter and Bobby Sura…

I think Porter got caught up with drug/guns back in Alabama or Georgia, never could get back on the court

That's too bad...

I really thought that he could have developed into a decent player. I wonder how he’d have done in Nellie’s system?
