MOORE'S RECIPE TO ON-COURT SUCCESS
Since the young age of four, as early as he could remember, Dallas had not a doubt in his mind that he was meant to play basketball, and his parents fondly co-sign.
​
“Dallas never wanted to put the ball down,” Mama Moore recalls, “so it came as no surprise that Dallas pursued his first love of basketball at the highest level.”
​
At Boca Ciega High School, Dallas put his recipe to success in motion, transitioning from a role player during his sophomore year to having a standout year as a junior and then earning 5A Player of the Year during senior year. Upon graduating from Boca Ciega High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, Dallas attended the University of North Florida on a full athletic scholarship. To date, Dallas is the all-time leading scorer for all Division-1 schools in the state of Florida, racking up an impressive 2,437 points, also earning the title of UNF’s all-time leading scorer and second-leading assist leader.
The achievements did not stop there, though.
​
For two consecutive years, from 2015 to 2017, Dallas earned ASUN “Player of the Year” and AP All-American honorable mention. He was also named a finalist of the “Lou Henson” award (2017).
Moore’s impressive college career led to a coveted spot on the Denver Nuggets 2017 Summer League team, which led to his first professional contract with VL Pesaro, a team in Italy’s well-known Serie A league. Playing against top talents such as Curtis Jerrells, Jamon Gordon, Marcus Slaughter, and Luca Vitali, Moore shined, and his rookie season ended precisely where his high school career left off – among the ranks of the league’s leading scorers – as Dallas ranked as the 2nd overall leading scorer in Italy.
​
While Moore is a relentless threat on offense, his ability to facilitate team unity and a winning mentality are his true specialties.
"HOLDING MYSELF AND MY TEAMMATES ACCOUNTABLE IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. WHEN ONE PERSON SETS THE STANDARD OF A WINNING MENTALITY, OTHERS OFTEN FOLLOW, SO I TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND MY ROLE ON THE TEAM BUT TO ALSO BE A GREAT TEAMMATE THAT FOCUSES ON TEAM BALL,"
DALLAS SHARES.
For the 2018-2019 season, Dallas took his talents to Israel, playing with Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel, then finishing his season with Fiat Torino in Italy. Recently, he signed with Nanterre 92 in France. Competing against Errick McCollum, Briante Weber, and Edwin Jackson, to name a few, Moore's skillset intensified, solidifying his undeniable leadership role on the team.
​
With an Albanian passport in tow, Dallas also plays for the Albania national team where he competes against the highest level of talent from all over the world.
Through his three professional seasons, Dallas has shot 48.9% from the field and 41.9% from behind the arc.
As his career and respective accolades continue to grow, Moore now looks to expand his presence and enhance the game among the youth in his community and beyond. With upcoming clinics, camps, and training opportunities, Dallas seeks to not only enhance their skills but to boost their confidence, too.

When asked how he maintains his incredible momentum while continually raising the bar, Dallas’ answer is simple:
