Jamison Makes U.S. National Team
Posted Aug 17, 2006
When the U.S. national team gathered in Las Vegas on July 19 for its first workout, Washington Wizards forward Antawn Jamison figured to be a long shot to make the roster for the FIBA World Championship team. However, a handful of injuries -- including a groin strain suffered by Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas -- combined with Jamison's showing in pre-tournament games helped him make the team yesterday when Coach Mike Krzyzewski and national team director Jerry Colangelo announced the 12-man squad.
