TORONTO -- Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter likely will be forever linked because of the 1998 NBA draft and their alma mater. Jamison and Carter went No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, in that summer's draft -- not to mention they were teammates at the University of North Carolina.

Their professional careers, however, haven't been similar, with Jamison still paying his dues for a struggling Warriors franchise and Carter an integral piece on the Toronto Raptors, who last year were within one shot of making the Eastern Conference finals.
