I know the rest of the league went green for Paddy’s Drunken Binge Day, but seriously bros, something about the Raptors and their color scheme are all about looking like Tommy by in ‘93:
It’s gotta be the jagged stripes on the side that gives it that nostalgic look, at least to me. And come on: DRAGONZOD vs. RAPTOR, WHO YOU GOT!!!! Oh and Raps lose again without Bosh to the Utah Jazz. There’s a message in there somewhere. I think it’s something about cheeseburgers.

It’s a scientific fact that Jamario Moon will win the dunk contest. Einstein had a wet dream about it. Just as I foresaw him getting the invite eons ago, I envision his win to be fireworks-worthy. That is why, with a little combination of the northern blogger brain power, Jeff Wong over at The Score shot over some J-Lune imagery that I’m sure the AP’s headline writers will be drooling all over.

Ah J-Moon. How could I have gone thus far without mentioning you on the site? My bad. You see, this is weird, watching a player like Jamario getting so much excitement from all places when he’s relatively kept under wraps. Few years ago, he would’ve been a great hidden treasure, where Raptor fans squee in delight of their X-Factor.
Now it’s interesting how fast he done blow up. Me thinks it’s got to do with how lame our sacred NBA highlights have been. Sure, J-Smoove and B.Diddy can astound our cerebral cells when they defy physics and sure seeing Deron Williams use his mind to move from Point A to Point A², while stapling is defender’s feet to the ground, is optimum in NBA deliciousness. However, there’s no glee of wonderment.
Jamario is rocking that wonderment. He had a shit game against Houston yesterday, but aside from that, I just love seeing his mojo in action that’s unlike a lot of players these days. His style is like a nicely folded paper glider that can launch air to air missiles. It’s a movement difference that’s not unlike how Manu Ginobili is different than the rest of the basketball rhythm.
In conclusion: I want Jamario Moon in the dunk contest.
Try to explain the West...
