I went to the Season Tickets holder pre-game gathering a few weeks back when we played Sacramento. They held it in the practice court and the rims oddly looked shorter than 10 feet. But..... Why would they have shorter rims on their practice court??? doesn't make a lot of sense. I didnt see a mechanism to lower the nets either. Who knows.

I bet he can come very close to making that dunk though. Not sure if he did it in the video but I met the dude at the event and he is VERY long.

I won't be surprised if he makes the dunk though... his first two dunks were alright..but seen them before.. Many ppl have dunked from the free throw line so I have seen that too.. a step in or a step out I dun think it matters since the audience won't really get to saviour the difficulty of the dunk from afar as much as a flashy dunk. Hell Vince did the line dunk with two hands so... I hope Jamario has something better up his sleeves

Vince took off with his feet pretty far past the line though. It was still impressive looking because it was two-handed, but Moon's takeoff (if it's legit) was from much farther back.

I can't stop watching that video. That dunk would be so amazing if he did it. I'm so pumped about the dunk competition. I'm terrified that he'll get injured before the all star break.

I say we should just sit him till the break and not risk it lol. He could make history.

I looked at the pippen dunk. it's not actually a dunk. he kinda lays it in. MJ took off from the line and slammed it. As for Jamario, would he post something like this if he couldn't do it? If he can't pull it off he's going to be the mother of all disappointments at the contest. I think he made it.

I wish moon would do that sometime in game, after the competition.

It's not possible. Did he make that......

I can't believe this is being debated.

Jameel Pugh, who left UMass a few years ago, could do two-foot takeoffs from the free throw line.

It makes no sense to set himself up and even less sense to film himself making it. He did two dunks carrying his shadow across the lane and another where it would end in the middle.

Finally, do you seriously think the NBA would take the time to make that kind of promotional video for MOON? You have Dwight/Rudy/Green in the contest and you make a Paul Bunyan video for Moon?

Fools, all of you.

I feel like this video was a lot like the series finale of the Sopranos. Right over everyone's head.

The video is gaining ground. They showed it on TSN this morning.
