" LeBron James says he has never seen shots like the ones Antawn Jamison puts up.

One-handed floaters. Flip shots. High arching layups.

"In my seven years in the NBA, I've always said Tawn is the most unorthodox guy we have in the league," James said. "He makes shots I've never seen before. It's unbelievable some of the shots he makes -- the flip shots, the underarm shots."

But no matter how unorthodox they are, they all still count.

Jamison, who was much more aggressive Sunday in trying to post up Luol Deng of the Bulls, finished with 24 points, making 9 of 16 shots, in the Cavaliers' romp over the Bulls. He apparently has corrected his errant free-throw shooting since joining the Cavs, making five of seven attempts and also had seven rebounds and two blocked shots.

Jamison said he had no idea where he learned his unorthodox style.

"It's just something that comes natural," said Jamison, whose father accidentally put up an 11-foot high rim when Jamison was a kid. "My teammates joke with me all the time, asking if I'm in the gym in the summertime working on those shots. I do not. But it has been successful so far, and I'm really confident with it. As long as that ball keeps going in the basket, I'm happy."

So are the Cavs.

"Antawn was great," James said. "His ability to not only shoot the ball from the outside but also drive. He's one of these hybrid fours that we have in this league, like Rashard Lewis and Josh Smith, guys who can do multiple things. They're really not power forwards. They just happen to have that position on the team.

"Fours have a tough time guarding him on the perimeter, because of his quickness and ability to drive. Smaller threes have a tough time because he can post them up and also shoot over the top of them. He was definitely the X factor tonight. We expect to have those types of games out of him."

Like James, Jamison is looking for his first NBA title. Unlike James, he has never won a title at any level. In his 12th year in the NBA, he thinks this is his best chance.

"It's an opportunity of a lifetime," Jamison said. "I've seen a lot and accomplished a lot on an individual level, but as far as a team level, I haven't gotten past the second round.

"It seems like every year around this time, I'm sitting around watching other teams and other guys get the opportunity. Come June, I'm sick. It's frustrating. I think when you're young, you think you might get the opportunity quicker than when it occurs. But this is the only thing that drives me, the only thing left for me to accomplish. "
