Ex-NBA star Antawn Jamison gave up game for his kids, but maybe not for long haul

Posted Jul 21, 2017
Former NBA All-Star Antawn Jamison was playing a round recently at The Golf Club at Ballantyne with longtime friend and college teammate Vince Carter. “I don’t understand how he does it,” Jamison said of Carter, 40, who is preparing for his 20th NBA season. “He can barely bend over to read his putts. To see him still be Vince Carter, and enjoying it. He still brings something to the game.” (Charlotte Observer)
