LeBron James...victim

Alright,I have seen the dunk and Im NOT impressed. So what a lil known cat named Jordan dunked on the King, big whoop! My question is this...From now on if anyone dunks on LeBron on television will a Nike rep appear out of nowhere and ask that the feed be stopped? Will Phil Knight come outta nowhere and have the tapes pulled? This is diva behavior, not even Prima Donnaesque. I stated before that I am a fan of King James and I totally respect the game of basketball and the law of averages....There are 29 teams excluding the Cavs with 12 men on each team...do the math and thats 348 men with the oppertunity to dunk on the "Chosen One"...82 games a year there is gonna be at least a 1 in 4 games shot on bangin one in his face.

I really dont see what the problem is...Are you that holy that you cant get a two handed jam against you attatched to your resume? Lets be real here. I know this is gonna go down as a big debate in a barbershop now that the video is out there. Except on YouTube....someone has that thing on lock and to even get to Jordan Crawford's blogspot you gotta fill out a survey...never mind, I saw it and blah blah blah. Just like when Shaq took the flop against Dwight Howard (in the battle of the Supermen) or when AI broke Michael Jordan's ankle when he was a rook, (subsequently he cant find a job, unless he goes to Memphis)...or when Beno Udrih shook the Black Mamba (Kobe) out of his Nikes. Nobody came out the woodworks demanding footage to keep folks from snickering and giggling at the "victims".

There is always gonna be someone better than the previous "man on the floor", not saying that LeBron is onna pass the torch to Crawford, but believe me there will be someone that is gonna dunk on you again...it wont be the first time and it wont be the last...Maybe the last at Nike Camp though.

WOW...he dunked on LeBron.... **side eye**

How You Doin?

No really, you cant be serious...This is the worse talk show I have ever seen...matter of fact **CLICK**

Shoulda been on B.E.T. exclusively, they woulda saved a whole lot of damn money


Avon Barksdale does NOT approve of this foolishness

Dunkgate...WTH??

When will the bullshit stop? Aiight so this cat Jordan Crawford from Xavier University (Ohio) dunked on King James in a pick up game at Nike camp the other night and it was video taped. According to reports on every sports channel on earth, there were two guys video taping the event. Someone I dont know who (actually nobody knows who) from either Nike or LeBron's camp "confiscated" both tapes, stating that camp organizers and sponsor Nike have made it clear that there are events at the camps that can and can not be video taped. This particular event was supposedly on the "Do Not Tape" list.

Here is what I have a problem with...
1.) What in the wide world of sports is wrong with LeBron gettin dunked on? It happens. Kobe has been dunked on, Jordan has been dunked on, even Magic has been dunked on, so whats the problem? Hell do we really have to go to the highlight reels (clearly DVD, but work wit the kid) and find out how many times King James dunked on whomever? The cat is human regardless how superhuman he seems to those who worship the ground he walks on and the air that he levitates in. Its part of the game, if it were illegal the only dunkin, you'd see would be at your neighborhood donut shop by some cop named O'Malley. Get over that.

2.) Nike is clearly trippin'...if you have stated from the get-go what events could and couldn't be taped who let the two guys in the building with video cameras? Someone in security turned their head and let the cameramen waltz in the gym with whatever equipment they had. According to one of the dudes, Ryan Miller said on ESPN radio, that he was taping at least 15 minutes before the dunk even took place. I feel Miller's position who said, "They should have come to me from the first minute, why wait so late..."

3.) The dunk itself... A two handed dunk? Whats so spectacular about that? I mean if it was an alley oop, a windmill, a Vince Carter nuts on your neck joint or something with a degree of difficulty of 9.99 it may be "embarrassing". Revisit number 1 though cause it happens. Crawford a 6'4" 195 lb guard , James is 6'8" 250 lbs and both are grown men. All that to say one guy jumped higher than the other (at that particular time) and dunked TWO HANDED at that...in a PICK UP GAME. That really makes the entire thing trivial. I could and would like to see if it were a 5' 4" 12 year old that did it, but this was a grown man...

4.) Nike really needs to stop tryin to objectifing/protecting this dude. Don't get me wrong I am a fan of LeBron, so I'm not totally bashin, (if it was Kobe I was talkin about, I woulda really dug in that ass). The MVPuppets series was really great especially since they (Nike) was hyping up a supposed showdown between The King and The Momba, but when Cleveland was eliminated they should have cut it short. I know they probably had to do a mad scramble to shoot the other commercials after the Cavs got knocked cause money was already spent, but damn. Dude clearly makes Nike a gang of money and I can see them wanting to protect their interest and his image, but if that was your intentions then you shouldnt have let him play in a PICK UP GAME to begin with. Then by snatching the tapes they only added to James' "Diva Behavior", now how are they gonna spin that. Rmember after the Magic bounced him from the playoffs...he didnt shake hands with the opposing players, just a diva move. He prolly was like damn, I aint gettin a ring this year and Nike all but annointed me a World Champion and this shit happens.

In a fan boy scheme of things that was the reaction. You kinda understand don't you?
