WARRIORS' JAMISON NETS HIGHEST ROOKIE ENDORSEMENT DEAL

          Warriors F Antawn Jamison has agreed to a five-year,
     $2.5M endorsement deal with adidas, which, on a per-year
     basis, "would be the most lucrative shoe deal given to a
     rookie this year," according to Josh Gotthelf of the
     SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL.   The deal would surpass the six-
     year, $2.8M contract 76ers G Larry Hughes signed with AND 1.
     Sources add that Jamison's deal "could be worth more" if he 
     "triggers some performance-based incentives."  adidas Dir of
     Sports Marketing Robert Erb "confirmed" that the deal was
     signed, but would not discuss financial terms.  Gotthelf
     adds that the deal does not "contain any language
     protecting" adidas if the NBA lockout extends into the
     season (Josh Gotthelf, SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 8/31 issue).
