He was awarded both the Naismith and Wooden Awards as the most outstanding men’s college basketball player for the 1997–98 season during his junior year.

Jamison was selected as the 4th overall pick on the 1998 NBA Draft of the Toronto Raptors, but then dealt his rights to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for former North Carolina teammate and best friend Vince Carter. He then played with the Golden State Warriors for five years. He last played for the LA Clippers then retired in October 2014. He became a broadcaster for Time Warner Cable SportsNet as a TV analyst for the Los Angeles Lakers. Three years after, he was hired in a scouting role by the team.
