I found this around the time of the NBA dunk contest (which former Meridian Community College Jamario Moon finished third in) on youtube. Jamario played one year at MCC for Coach George Brooks' Eagles. Brooks once told me he'd never coached anyone so talented — and that's saying a lot considering he was a graduate assistant at Mississippi State in 1996 when the Bulldogs made it to the Final Four with current NBA veteran Eric Dampier and former NBA player Dontae' Jones. Moon has come a long way and is making some noise in the NBA in his first year. He actually took a long way around reaching his dream of the NBA. He started out in the NBDL in Mobile. He joins Ronald "Flip" Murray as two former MCC stars making the big bucks in the NBA. Check out this video:
