One of the most naturally gifted leapers out there. He makes it look so effortless, and does a great job of finishing in traffic. I noticed that in a couple of his dunks, he pumped ever so slightly when flying into a possible collision, to avoid excess contact. Definitely an artisan dunker.
Chuck Swirsky is a great announcer. "Full moon arising", "Fly me to the moon", "Apollo 33 just landed", "OH MY BOSH", are just a few of his many brilliant quotes.
It’s crazy I’m replying to this 16 years later, wherever you are I hope you’re doing well and taking it easy, but the raptors have been blessed with back to back legendary announcers in Swirsky & now Matt Devlin
"How far can you fly, my man?" Lol! Even though I don't watch or like the NBA all that much, many props to Moon because he focused on his school before a professional career. And even then, he simply kicks ass. What a guy!
Nice. I like it how you weave homoerotic puns into such stunning prose. Also, sorry for thinking this clip would have a comments section vaguely related to basketball, my bad.
his putback vs. miami was not in there because that was at the end of the season and this was a preview for the dunk comp, this vid was made in janurary
@xxwagwanxx You can see almost every defensive possession, that DeRozan crashes the boards to go for the rebound. Moon, back then, always chucked threes, and didn't drive. DeRozan also goes to the free throw line a lot more.
Good old Chuck Swirsky. Sick, wicked and nasty is his trademark for huge dunks, from the Carter days. A lot of his new material is from creative Raptor fans who were attempting to create Moon's nickname (i.e. Apollo 33).
I don't expect him to be amazing, but our bench was pretty weak last year which was quite obvious when we went up against orlando. I think Lebron can probably make him a better player, just as he has done with every other cav. Hopefully Parker and Moon enjoyed playing together in Toronto.
this is gonna be the cavaliers best season!!i'm stoked shaq is gonna be there but with jamario and anthony emerges a well rounded basketball team .plus lebron has so many people he can pass to now.finally it wont be a one man highlight show every night GO CAVS!!!!
#5 was just an INSANE follow, and it should've been #1! Great set of dunks and the guy can obviously jump -- but the slam contest is ALL about creativity. I think Dwight Howard is the favorite, but we'll see how Jamario does....
not even one year this is half a years worth of dunking. they made this at the all star break. if they had made it later there would be a new number one he had and unbelievable put back late in the year against the heat
Moon isn't probably a better dunker than Lebron, he IS. All Lebron's dunks are power dunks. Moon's got style and variety on his side, his arms give him a greater extension too.
You should check Jaluigi Sun his cousin.
your comment deserves 1000x more likrs

+Biggmofo lol I was about to search Jaluigi Sun but then I got the joke

What the fuck hahahahahahahahah

I will always love when Chuck Swirsky would say, "APOLLO 33 HAS LANDED!" whenever Jamario Moon dunked.
Lol in this replay I thought he said, "A pile of 33 has landed in Atlanta!" And Leo chuckled.... Lol.
he needs to be in the NBA .

Welcome to the Kings of Europe!
I was expecting a lot more posters for a guy with incredible hops.
+saucy05 He never really had the strength to overpower guys
He had been in the league for 2 months at this point lol
He was one of my favorite dunkers back to ~2007
1:18 Lebron sees Moon going up. Lebron: "I'm not getting on this poster"
Max Cooper 😂😂😂
his parents didn't have the name MOON for nothing.
"How far can you fly, my man?" Lol!
Even though I don't watch or like the NBA all that much, many props to Moon because he focused on his school before a professional career. And even then, he simply kicks ass. What a guy!
One of my fav dunkers ever. This guy could FLY
jomario is a high flyer even though hes alittle bit older than other rookies. i love his work ethics and hes not cocky. some insane hops jomario has!!
Welcome to Olympiakow Jamario!
Nice. I like it how you weave homoerotic puns into such stunning prose. Also, sorry for thinking this clip would have a comments section vaguely related to basketball, my bad.
his story to the nba is unbelievable!
his putback vs. miami was not in there because that was at the end of the season and this was a preview for the dunk comp, this vid was made in janurary
welcome to Olympiakos!!!
The fact that he had been in the NBA for 2 months and has a top 10 dunks is insane😂. He was so fun as a rookie but then he fell off
It will be another unreal dunk contest this year thats for sure. WE got some serious high flyers in it.
the MOON is rising tonight
Just randomly thought about this guy
Welcome to Guaros de Lara in Barquisimeto- Venezuela !!
The same!
Cavaliers FTW.
Moon running the fastbreak with LeBron and AP is gonna be sicknasty
love how he often pulls the ball back in front of the rim before slamming it in...shows the hang time and the vertical he got
@xxwagwanxx
You can see almost every defensive possession, that DeRozan crashes the boards to go for the rebound. Moon, back then, always chucked threes, and didn't drive. DeRozan also goes to the free throw line a lot more.
Jose Calderon is so cold! Most underated pg in the game hands down.
Jamario Moon thunderous dunks!
Just met this dude tonight, he's polite as hell for someone playing in a pro sport.
Can't wait to see this dude in the dunk contest.
Great Video.......
specialy the NO .5.. awesome dunk....
I wish this video were High Def.
great job
chuck swortski and leo take so much pride in there announcing skills. Just look at the first 7 dunks and compare the commentary to the last 3.
give this guy a couple of more years. he'll have the best top 10 career dunks in the nba in no time.
dude its only his 1st year in the nba n he already has a CAREER top 10... AMAZING!!!!
chuck's commentary on the last three dunks was hilarious!
moon is a sick addition to the cavs! i wanna see him get decent minutes.
CAVS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Welcome to Europe Champions!!!
gotta love that sound 1:57
Good old Chuck Swirsky. Sick, wicked and nasty is his trademark for huge dunks, from the Carter days. A lot of his new material is from creative Raptor fans who were attempting to create Moon's nickname (i.e. Apollo 33).
great finishes!!
@SirrSnowman You have to understand that they made this in his rookie year..pretty good for top 10 dunks of his rookie year
he had some nice dunks this 08-09 season. i hope they make a new top 10 for jamario because he had like 4 putback dunks =]
I hope he's in the dunk contest again this year.
WELCOME TO THE KINGS OF EUROPE!!!
this is gonna be the best dunk contest in years
Welcome to Olympiacos!
This is also his first year in the league so i am sure he will have way more to come in the future
Dunk #1 reminded me very much of Scottie Pippen. Looking forward to see him in the dunk contest.
The number 5 highlight should of been the # 1!!!
I don't expect him to be amazing, but our bench was pretty weak last year which was quite obvious when we went up against orlando. I think Lebron can probably make him a better player, just as he has done with every other cav. Hopefully Parker and Moon enjoyed playing together in Toronto.
awesome clean dunks
that last one was sick wicket and nasty!!
"Apollo 33" might just be the best nickname ive heard in ages.
oh yeah, dunks are awesome too, especially considering its only 1/2 a season of them.
Go check out his average % last year.
34.5% in Toronto.
37% in Miami.
In other words, he's a great 3 point shooter.
this is gonna be the cavaliers best season!!i'm stoked shaq is gonna be there but with jamario and anthony emerges a well rounded basketball team .plus lebron has so many people he can pass to now.finally it wont be a one man highlight show every night GO CAVS!!!!
Toronto always have good dunkers.
#5 was just an INSANE follow, and it should've been #1!
Great set of dunks and the guy can obviously jump -- but the slam contest is ALL about creativity. I think Dwight Howard is the favorite, but we'll see how Jamario does....
This guy dunks it with style!
Did anyone notice that Toronto's getting all the high flyers? vince, moon and demar? holy crap?
one of my favorite player in nba live 09.
i think Moon has the skills to do spectacular dunks.
Great vid!
that boy is "sick wicked and nasty" lmao... but really, Jamario got some serious bounce. I hope he continues throwing down dunks like these
the last dunk is insane!!!
the guy guarding Calderon on #7(bostons guard .44 secs) had his ankles shaking.
i couldnt agree more... hate it when jacks those shots outta nowhere in a tight game when we need every point....
#5. To me that is easily the most bautiful dunk on that list.
At Top 7, Jose Caledron Crossed out Eddy House and passed it to Jamario!
Damn can't wait for Raptors basketball in 08'.
GO RAPTORS!
Yeah, I was skeptical. I like the Idea of Anthony Parker going there. If we get moon, I tilt the scales to Cleveland for the title.
Oh yea!! He will do just FINE in cleveland. Danny Ferry is doing it. I'm happy with the offseason picks.
Last year he shot nearly 36% behind the 3 point line.
That's pretty damn good.
he is going to get the champion for 2009 dunk contest.
Its his time to prove himself as the most underrated player in the NBA!
GO MOON!
Moon we miss you in T.O.!!!
WELCOME TO OLYMPIAKOS
#5 was sick, wicked and nasty... he made the block look like an alley-oop pass haha!
Who does the announcing for the Raps on the Score? He never runs out of nicknames.
god i love that toronto announcer
wish they showed his 3 or block where he was like "I SEE THE BAD MOON A RISING"
wow at almost half of these dunks come from assist from calderon. im excited to watch the raptors with JO and calderon starting now
@FlashDx32
The commentator said that was "sick, wicked, and nasty", not "sickquickdynasty".
Did you guys watch the Rookie Sophomore game? My god, he's so going to win.
I`ve never heard about this guy before. He`s sick
not even one year this is half a years worth of dunking. they made this at the all star break. if they had made it later there would be a new number one he had and unbelievable put back late in the year against the heat
@JREAL908 no but tnx. Did you notice on dunk nr3...that his arms are so long that he was already on his way back while still hanging on the rim?
his dunks are good!!
#5 house got crossed by calderon and #2 fords pass was unreal
that was sickwickiditynasty!! how high can you fly my man??
a great dunker! love it!
His athleticism was in its own category.
Number 8 he was uncontested. Number 1 he was contested.
#5 was just sick! perfect off the board,haha!
We The King, Superman, "The Real Super Man" and The Moon! We are to sick rite now!
remember this is only half a season worth of dunks. imagine if he was picked up by TO earlier on, there'd be way more dunks to choose from
Moon isn't probably a better dunker than Lebron, he IS. All Lebron's dunks are power dunks. Moon's got style and variety on his side, his arms give him a greater extension too.
I remember when he played for the raptors he had at least one block per game for like 50 straight games.
"Jamario Moon.." "Fly to the Rim!!-- That was Sick, Wicked, And NASTY!" lol at the commentator
raw talent
number 5 is a sick block sick slam.
i get the impression that he's one of the best backdoor cutters in the game right now
At 1:20 Lebron was thinking: "Maybe I shouldn't get in that poster!" lmao
