Adris Geraldo Deleon Jimenez (born July 10, 1984) is a Dominican professional basketball player who currently plays for Atenienses de Manatí of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). He became a cult hero in the United States Streetball scene.

Deleon went undrafted in the 2009 NBA draft. In December 2009, Deleon signed with the Halifax Rainmen for the 2010 PBL season. He later moved back to the Dominican Republic and had short stints in three different leagues: CDP Domingo Paulino Santiago (Santiago Regional Tournament), Indios de San Francisco (Liga Nacional de Baloncesto) and La Cancha (Moca Regional League).
In February 2011, he signed with Palencia Baloncesto of Spain for the rest of the 2010–11 season. During the 2011 off-season, he returned to play for CDP Domingo Paulino Santiago.
