Lebron Getting Dunked On: Not Worth the Wait

By: Alex Harris

Thanks to eBaumNation, Jordan Crawford isn’t as cool as everyone thought he is.

To refresh your memory, approximately two weeks ago, ESPN reported that Lebron James had been “dunked on” at an off-season scrimmage by Xavier guard, Jordan Crawford.  After the supposed mockery, it was believed that Nike officials confiscated the recording from a cameraman as a result of Jordan Crawford’s Adidas gear being responsible for embarrassing The King.  Skip Bayless and his fellow ‘Bron-haters had more firepower than Nicolas Cage in Lord of War.

Really? Nike thought that would ruin the reputation of the 90 million dollar man?  To me, Jordan Crawford dunking on Lebron James, arguably the best player in the NBA, is equivalent to Pat Garrity dunking on Michael Jordan - you just laugh about it and move on, recognizing the better of the two’s superiority.

There’s not really much else to say, besides once again, ESPN blew up an issue that shouldn’t have mattered, and Lebron/Nike needs to start realizing that when you play basketball, you’re going to get dunked on every once in a while.

Whoever initiated the comparison of Vince Carter’s unbelievable dunk over Frederick Weiss in the Olympics, to Jordan Crawford over Lebron James, deserves to get dunked on by Pat Garrity.
