Lebron gets dunked on at his camp, Nike takes evidence

[InRareForm]

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.

Freelance photographer Ryan Miller was one of the cameramen shooting the game.

He told CBSSports.com that Nike Basketball Senior Director Lynn Merritt took his tape.

"He just said, 'We have to take your tape,'" Miller said. "They took it from other guys, too."

Worth noting is that there is no policy against filming at the LeBron James Skills Academy, and Miller said he had been filming all day without incident. Nobody ever told him to stop. Nobody ever said there was a problem ... until after Crawford dunked on James.

"LeBron called Lynn over and told him something," Miller said. "That's how I knew his name was Lynn. LeBron said, 'Hey, Lynn. Come here.'"

Minutes later, Miller said Merritt demanded his tape.

"There's nothing I can think of besides LeBron just not wanting it online," Miller said. "It's a good story to tell people, I guess. But then again, I'm kind of pissed. I lost my tape."

if Jordan got dunked on he would have forced that scrub to play him one on one 200 times dunked on him for every point he scored, and laughed at him as he died of water dehydration.

For those who don't know how big of an asshole Lebron can be, here you go...owned by Stephon Marbury...

http://nba.fanhouse.com/2007/03/29/lebron-james-vs-stephon-marbury-the-150-shoe-vs-the-15-shoe/

During last nights Knicks and Cavs match up, there was another battle going on. As well documented around the net (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2006-11-01-marbury-shoes_x.htm), Stephon Marbury is endorsing a line of $15 Steve and Barry's kicks called Starburys. The premise behind the shoe is to give kids that can't afford outrageously priced shoes a chance to purchase a pair of NBA endorsed kicks that won't break their parent's bank account. So what does LeBron James, endorser of Nike's outrageously priced basketball sneakers, have to say about Marbury's new kicks? Here's what he told Newsday's Ken Berger (http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/ny-sbkside295150100mar29,0,6341008.story):
Before the game, James took a little shot at Marbury's $14.98 kicks, saying he couldn't imagine endorsing a sneaker that cheap. "No, I don't think so," James said. "Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high."Obviously LeBron James rise to fame and riches has allowed him to forget about where he comes from. Isn't this the same LeBron James that grew up in poverty in Akron, OH? What Marbury is doing is starting a cultural revolution. He's trying to change the game so that kids don't feel left out if they don't have a pair of $150 shoes. If LeBron wanted to be the man to be a real global icon, he would look to be something more than a puppet for Nike and become a leader like Marbury and step out and do something different that would actually aid the people that come from backgrounds similar to his own. As well, there are plenty of people that are making millions of dollars selling cheaper shoes. Shaquille O'neal has been doing it for years, but at more than twice the price ($39.99) of the Starburys. So what's Stephon's response to LeBron's obvious arrogance?
Marbury, who is friendly with James, was lacing up his Starburys before the game when informed of LeBron's comment. He thought about it for a moment and said, "I'd rather own than be owned." For those of you that don't know, unlike James, Marbury is actually tied to the equity of his brand. Marbury gets a piece of the profits from every Starbury shoe that is sold. So not only does he have a chance to revolutionize the shoe industry in a way that benefits the low income consumer, but he also has a chance to become a big time shoe mogul. Instead of being a lemming, James might want to start taking notes.

I actually own Starburys. I actually prefer them over Nike's. Nike's give my feet blisters. The Starburys make my feet feel like they are running and jumping on air. In Nike's, my feet are screamin "GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS OVERPRICED PRISON!!!"

I'm calling him a dick because the guy made fun of Stephon Marbury for endorsing shoes that the poor community can afford. I'm calling him a dick because he walked off the court after losing without talking to the media. I'm calling him a dick because his company confiscated evidence that someone in college dunked on Lebron. Sure, he didn't do it, but he definitely could have told them to return it...and didn't. I'm calling him a dick because he said "My range is unlimited." I'm calling him a dick because of his "Check my $tats" t-shirt. No one gives a shit how much money you have, Lebron...

I agree. Lebron appears to be regressing as an individual. His first few years in the league he handled himself rather well. I liked him because he seemed like the anti-kobe, a dude who wasn't too caught up in himself. Boy was I wrong. All of these little things are adding up to the point where he's becoming the biggest tool in the shed. If it's true about him not allowing the tape out because of his "image" then I'm done pulling for the guy. WTF kind of BS is taking some dudes tapes? More importantly, how in the hell does evil NIKE have the authority to take said tapes? I'd tell the middle management NIKE d-bag who tried to take my tape to fuck off. Unless they're employed by Nike or Lebron, I would threaten em' with a lawyer and get it back. I wanna see it now. And now I'll actually start to look forward to Skip Bayless crushing him on ESPN. Fuck Lebron and NIKE. Makes me feel good that I've bought nothing but Adidas since the early 90's.

This is exactly why there is NO chance Lebron actually goes through and enters the dunk contest like he said he would..there's no way he'll allow himself to risk losing, and Nike obviously won't either..this dude really can't handle embarrassment, even though he's pretty much embarrassing himself with these types of stupid incidents..as if anybody is going to care if he got dunked on..it happens to everybody..

[Whisky Dog]

You say you are calling LeBron a dick but you show a video of him giving Kobe, his greatest opponent some big compliments.

That's the point. Kobe's a dick but he comes off as a dick and doesn't hide it. Lebron is a dick who tries to act friendly and talk big but his actions show otherwise. He's a fraud, a hypocrite.

He's all about himself. If you really believe you're the best you wouldn't feel threatened by some no name college kid getting the better of you on one play. A real, truly self actualized and confident person would build the kid up and congratulate him on his play because the kid's no threat to you. He's like a little kid that you're playing against... No threat and you encourage him rather than take away his successes.

I think they can win. There isn't much of a talent disparity between the schools. Pryor is a freak and if he learned how to pass at all that will be good for the Buckeyes. tOSU lost a ton of players too. It's also very hard to win at the Shoe, especially for a young QB. Place is really loud and a night time, prime time game will make it even louder. I think it's a toss up, but I think Ohio State can win no doubt

Haha that video is funny lol, Lebron gets away with so much shit- Travels, fouls, carries. And he can't use it to his advantage to get a ring. Lol Lechoke. And btw, Courtney Lee dunked on Lechoke twice in the playoffs. The famous one is when Lee Jammed on Lechoke with two hands but the other one was in Orlando when lee smashed it on Lechoke with one hand and screamed at Lechoke after. Lechoke is consistently posterized lol

http://www.heykobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/brian_hartline_bending_over_fiance-heykobe.jpg

He's too slow and he dropped a bunch of passes last year. Rumor has it that he was a problem in the locker room all season too. Most tOSU fans celebrated when he declared for the draft.

[Chillen]

So let me get this straight, Lebron can't be fruitful and respect his opponents at the end of playoff games if he loses and go shake hands, and if he get's dunked on the video has to be taken by Nike and literally destroyed to avoid being humiliated.

We are all witnnesses to a pro athlete that is ashamed to get dunked on or lose. MJ would want that so he could seek out his Jordan revenge on that guy or team.

Lebron clearly needs some true confidence in his abilitys, if you lose it's ok because next time you know you can win.

That is what MJ had and what Lebron needs to develop a little more.

You will not be happy with Hartline. My sister when to high school with him, I knew him growing up, he was a douche bag and still is. He is a cancer in the locker room too. He hated Pryor last year because Pryor didn't throw him the ball and they even got in a couple fights. He sucks

Crap sons. I meant 4.3. Yeah lol, 3.4 is impossible:lol Still, he's the fastest player on SC.

You really believe OSU can win, though? USC did lose a lot of players, so it should be closer than last year.

lol a 3.4 would be pretty badass though :D

The latest.

Nike takes videographers’ tapes at LeBron camp (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-james-dunkvideo&prov=ap&type=lgns)

What happens at LeBron’s camp stays at LeBron’s camp.

A minor controversy erupted at the LeBron James Skills Academy on Monday night when two videographers recorded a pickup game in which Xavier’s Jordan Crawford dunked on James.

Gary Parrish reported on CBSSports.com that a Nike representative confiscated tapes of the dunk after conferring with James.

A representative with Nike, which runs the camp at the University of Akron in James’ hometown, made no mention of Crawford’s dunk. He said the tapes were confiscated because videotaping of after-hours pickup games at the camp is not allowed.

“Nike has been operating basketball camps for the benefit of young athletes for decades and has long-standing policies as to what events are open and closed to media coverage. Unfortunately, for the first time in four years, two journalists did not respect our no videotaping policy at an after-hours pickup game following the LeBron James Skills Academy,” said Nike spokesman Derek Kent on Wednesday.

A spokesman for James said he had no comment.

The camp features 80 top basketball prospects from around the nation.

Crawford said his dunk happened in the first 20 minutes of a game that lasted about two hours and did not prompt any reaction from James.

“We just went on playing,” Crawford said Wednesday. “It was exciting just to be playing on the same court as him. I can see why he is so great at what he does.”

That's the point. Kobe's a dick but he comes off as a dick and doesn't hide it. Lebron is a dick who tries to act friendly and talk big but his actions show otherwise. He's a fraud, a hypocrite.

He's all about himself. If you really believe you're the best you wouldn't feel threatened by some no name college kid getting the better of you on one play. A real, truly self actualized and confident person would build the kid up and congratulate him on his play because the kid's no threat to you. He's like a little kid that you're playing against... No threat and you encourage him rather than take away his successes.

+1. which is why i have more respect for Kobe and KG than LeBron because they are real. LeBron is a fake and tries to act like he's Tim Duncan but he's not. I hope the queen never wins a title.

Man, I am so glad I'm not a Cavs fan. I'd been torn between team loyalty and this asshat of a player. GROW UP LEBRON.
