Career highlights and awards

Raymon "Jammer" Jamito (born September 1, 1990) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the South Cotabato Warriors of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1][2]

Professional career

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel

Jamito was the 3rd pick of the regular round in the 2016 PBA draft.[1]

In 2017, Jamito was part of the Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Week.[3] The crowd expected him to jump over 6-foot-9 Japeth Aguilar.[3] Instead, he side-stepped him and did a basic one-hand dunk, drawing laughs from the crowd.[3] The stunt became viral, and was featured on the television show "The Starters."[4] He also won a Governors' Cup title that year.

Meralco Bolts

In 2018, Ginebra made him an unrestricted free agent, allowing the Bolts to pick him up.[2] He had his best game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and one block in a loss to the Phoenix Fuel Masters.[5]

In 2021, he was given a contract extension.[6] He was not given another extension after that season and did not return for the 2022–23 PBA season.[7]

San Juan Knights

Jamito then played for the San Juan Knights in the MPBL.[8] He debuted with 14 points and seven rebounds in a win over the Valenzuela XUR Homes Realty Inc.
