Lebron Dunked on

Good quality video is here:

Not that big of a deal really; Nike trying to hide it is the only thing making this truly newsworthy.

*edit* I suppose this belongs in the sports section - my bad

Wow, that was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. He just rotated over late and didn't get off the ground before the other guy, coming from a side angle...

Not even a facial or anything. I thought this guy went straight over the top of him! If Nike didn't try to get the tape, it would have never been a story at all. LBJ has been dunked on WAY worse in the league before, that was nothing.

that was it?

I bet that really wasn't even it

I like Lebron a lot but this whole story kinda makes me lose respect for him and I enjoyed what Kobe said at his camp...made me laugh.

I dont think it was Lebron's decision to have it vacated so much. I believe it was Nike that made that decision on their own.

Ah good call Great 1....very well could be, I just think he may have had something to do with it

Yeah, thanks man.

They brought up a pretty good point on the Sportsnation show today.

One of the hosts said something about how he thinks Nike did it as a marketing stunt to bring more attention to their company. Now whether that worked or not...I have no idea lol

Haven't watched SportsNation yet...I hate Cowherd with a passion so I don't even flip it there...lol

I totally agree lol. The host of the show is a total douchebag and sounds like he knows nothing about sports, but his point of Nike possibly doing that as a marketing ploy did get me thinking.

Yeah I could see that as a possibility but a dumb one.

He is fucking awful, his show is the main reason I quit listening to espn radio...

Yeah, he really is horrible. I had my TV already turned onto ESPN when the show was on and they were talking about it...right after that I changed the channel though, because neither of those hosts know a damn thing about sports.

The biggest reason I hate his radio show is cause he's the type of guy that will only take calls praising him and if someone disagrees with him about something he just hangs up and disregards the comments....plus he's a fucking nerd lol

Cowherd is just horrible. I don't know how people listen to his fucking voice all day, I want to reach through the fucking iTunes at work here and punch him.

are they serious? They had to cover that up and create a big conspiracy? Pffft

what a letdown.

Yeah not really that big of a deal. Big time overblown thanks to the LBJ/Nike cover up

Crawford ends winning in all this because he would got maybe a weeks worth of publicity if they let go out and made no big deal out of it now he will ever be known as the guy who dunked on Lebron and its wasnt even all that good

Did you see LeBron admit to smoking bud 1 time? Big shocker. You can say that but you can't show this weak ass video? Is LeBron James retarded? Does he have a Vince Young like IQ? Jesus that guy is starting to make me wonder.

^^^ I was gonna make a thread about that, even though he's dumb, if you've seen his interviews you'd know, this actually moves him up a notch in my book, that puts him at notch 1

From what I heard a while back, Lebron got charity grades back in high school. He never did anything and still got good grades. Undoubtedly if that is true, its only because of his playing ability.

The smoking bud one time thing is probably an understatement, he's from Akron and almost 80% of people from that city smoke it on a daily basis.

Yeah who cares really. I think he is barely the 3rd best player in the leg. Freaking whiner.

Who do you think is better besides Kobe? Howard? Idk, Howard is great at defending and rebounding, but his low post game is limited to dunking pretty much. CP3 is pretty amazing, and should have been MVP in 07-08, but Lebron was better last year. I think Lebron and Kobe are tied for first and Howard and CP3 tied for third.

I don't get the Lebron hate on this really- it was Nike that didn't want the footage getting out there as they are trying to build the Leglobal brand or whatever. It's not like Lebron was talking to his people trying to make sure footage of him being dunked on doesn't get out, or personally taking people's cameras away.

That's why there's so much hate...because that is just speculation and not fact.
