I can see this happen but I am so pumped from this quote "I'm not going there to lose. ... I played for the Harlem Globetrotters.

I also have a feeling he'll wear his jerseys from his past teams and start tearing them off one by one after each dunk

Good to know Dixon is being utilized and kept busy, not just a bench warmer. Honestly, I can

He ordered an astronaut suit and a prop Moon to jump over.

I like the fact that this is going to be incredibly awesome or a major bust. There's no in between here.

Let's just hope he doesn't try anything so outlandish as to put his body in danger. That would piss me off.

Jamario's trick is going to be that he will alter the force of gravity such that it is the same as on the moon so that Nate Robinson can dunk without being a disgrace to the competition.

I'm seriously going to kill myself laughing if they bring an actual moon out onto the court. They could bring Eddy Curry in and just put some paper mache around him. It will probably be no different than someone jumping over one of the midget PGs or going over a chair/table, but the blatant imagery is enough. Besides, he'll have that ridiculous grin on his face the entire time.

The trouble with hyping it is that if it not completely amazing it will be considered a bust. OK will not be good enough. Which is probably what LLJ was getting at. You have to admire his guts.

lol, I have a funny feeling that they would bring out a moon prop, so that he jumps over the moon and dunks. That would be jokes.

If he brings the moon prop out,hopefully he does'nt mess up on the dimensions like they did with this>>>

Then again jumping over Stonehenge would win it hands down.

His prop is Andrea Bargnani, who will somehow foul him during the contest.

There's not enough rounds in the competition for that. :wink:

Though it would send the message about all the obstacles he had to overcome to make it to the NBA.

All Star Weekend can't come soon enough

The thing I like about Moon though, is that he's really coming prepared. Not like some other contestants who don't give a crap about the competition or entertaining the crowd.

That could be cool, but dangerous as well. How they going to keep that Moon in place? If it roles he could injure himself pretty good. Let's have Dixon do a test run first, won't make a difference if he gets injured or not, he lives on the bench anyway.

I got a couple of funny/good ideas. One thanks to a friend of mine.

The first one, he starts off at the 3pt line. Before he strips off his warm-up suit and you see he's wearing a Harlem Globetrotter jersey underneath (alright nothing unique here), you hear the Harlem Globetrotter tune turn on. Then he starts spinning the ball on his finger, and runs with it to the basket, and jumps with the ball still spinning and then dunks it one hand.

The other one is, he brings out a prop and it's a big globe. Then he 360's around the globe, make it seem like the Moon is orbitting around the earth.

Bah it's gonna be gimmick, where they'll have like a card board Moon or something, and Moon dunking over it.

Having props is just gimmicky, part of what VC did in Oakland was so special, he did it on Raw talent, no gimmicks, no nothing, (WEll he did have a bounce pass from T-mac). But other than that, it was his dunks that spoke for him.

None of this prop of people (Nate robinson), retro jersey's...

I wouldn't count on it. But it will be entertaining.

I'm anxious to see his "prop" in the dunk contest.

Yes, the Vince show in Oakland was awesome. But it's over. In the past. Gotta move on sometime.

I'm just excited to see a Raptor in the competition, especially one with a story like Moon's. How could you not root for him, props or not, I think this is going to be one of the better shows in a longtime.

This exposure is a blessing, we have upwards of 4 Toronto players represented at this weekend. Moon twice, hopefully.
