Jamario Raman Moon (born June 13, 1980) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League. Moon played college basketball for one season at Meridian Community College and began his professional career with teams in the United States Basketball League and NBA Development League, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Mexican basketball team Fuerza Regia before signing with the Toronto Raptors NBA team in 2007. He then played for the NBA teams Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Clippers.

Early years

After Moon attended Coosa Central High School, he attended Meridian Community College where he played his only season of college basketball (1999–2000) for the Eagles, averaging 20.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Moon entered the 2001 NBA Draft as an early candidate, but was not drafted by any team.[1] However, he was drafted twice in NBA D-League. In the 2003 NBA D-League Draft, he was drafted 43rd overall by Huntsville Flight.[2] Moon then played for the Harlem Globetrotters during 2004.[3] He also played 16 games for the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association.[4]

Moon also helped the Rome Gladiators to the 2005 World Basketball Association (WBA) Championship, directly followed by a 2005 Southeastern Exposure Summer League (SEBL) title. He later played for the WBA's Marietta Storm in 2006, as well as the Albany Patroons of the CBA. He also played in the LNBP in Mexico.

NBA career

Moon signed a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors on July 10, 2007, after he had impressed the coaching staff in a three-day mini-camp held by the club.[1][5] In his first start against the Chicago Bulls, he had 12 points, six rebounds, three steals, and one block in 23 minutes. Moon remained in the starting lineup over the next few games, recording 15 points, nine rebounds, six blocks and three steals in another game against the Bulls on November 25. Two days later, Moon broke a club record by recording at least one block in twelve consecutive games.

On February 1, 2008, Moon was named NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month. He had a career-high five steals on January 18 against the Atlanta Hawks, and scored a career-high 17 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers the next night.[6][7]

On February 13, 2009, Moon was traded by Toronto to the Miami Heat, along with Jermaine O'Neal and conditional draft pick, for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.[8]

On July 17, 2009, the Cavaliers signed Moon to an offer sheet.[9] On July 24, the Heat declined to match the offer, and Moon officially joined the Cavaliers.[10] The offer sheet is estimated to be worth $8.92 million over 3 years (the final year only being partially guaranteed).

On February 24, 2011, Moon was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers along with Mo Williams in exchange for Baron Davis and a first round pick.[11]

On March 2, 2012, Moon signed with the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Developmental League.[12]

On April 14, 2012 Moon signed with the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats hope Moon will provide some desperately needed offense, in the absence of leading scorer Corey Magette. Moon will fill the roster spot vacated when Boris DIaw was bought out, to sign with the San Antonio Spurs.[13]

2008 NBA All-Star Weekend

Moon was invited to participate in two events at the 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana. He scored 13 points for the rookies in the Rookie/Sophomore Challenge,[14] and competed in the Slam Dunk Contest,[15] finishing behind winner Dwight Howard and 2007 defending champion Gerald Green.[16]
