Lebron Gets Dunked On...But Nike Won't Let You See It

[jeebus86]

AKRON, Ohio -- You want to see video of Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunking on LeBron James?

If so, too bad.

Because you're not going to see it.

Thanks to Nike.

Turns out, there were at least two cameras rolling Monday night when Crawford dunked on James during a pick-up game here at the LeBron James Skills Academy. It was a two-handed jam, the kind that would've circulated quickly on YouTube. But Nike officials eliminated that possibility shortly after the dunk happened by allegedly confiscating tapes from various cameramen.

This has not been a good media offseason for Lebron.

lol, that is really odd...it's not like he can't be dunked on! Maybe they are afraid his image will suffer if a college player throws it down on him...

ya, but now his imagine gets brought down anyways because this information has now already leaked out.......it's more embarrassing for people to find out you're trying to hide the fact that you got dunked on rather then to just be dunked on

I hate when companies does stuff like this. How can they confiscate the footage? Is this even legal?

Exactly, it's not like players don't get dunked on, Nike just made the situation a whole lot worst then better.

They should really stop trying to pamper the guy.

LOL LeBron is such a tool...

Everyone gets dunked on, but he thinks he's better than that, and thinks it would hurt his image, but with destroying the videos its hurt his image worse than he thought intially

Nike should just sign the guy that dunked on lebron to a shoe deal and then they can release the footage

They couldn't confiscate the tapes unless they paid them off.

Bad move for them because they would have made so much more if they would have kept the tapes

I wish Shaq would dunk on him...even he's not that big of a prima donna
