UPDATE: Jordan Dunks On Lebron James!
Word out of the LeBron James Skills Academy is that Xavier’s Jordan Crawford turned the camp’s host into his own personal Fred Weis, the sort of moment for which God created YouTube. Then along came Nike to confiscate the evidence.
Check out the footage below:

CBSSports.com’s Gary Parrish has the story:
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 that’s how it went down — if King James really sent a Swoosh drone to go all FBI-in-Dealey-Plaza on the cameramen — then that’s surpassingly lame. Give the kid his YouTube moment. Congratulate him. Shake him by the hand. Or, you know, don’t.

PRINCE JAMES!!!
GOT POSTERIZED
WHEN ANDRE IGUADAL DUNKED ON HIM THIS SEASON, THAT WAS EVEN WORST IT,S ON YOUTUBE LOL…
TRYING TO CONFISCATE THE TAPE DRAW MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!
NOT A GOOD MOVE NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE IT.
Skip finally said something that I can agree with.
Skip is a clown who can not play ball at all, always running his mouth like he is some kind of expert. LeBron got boomed on by this scrub Jordan Crawford, I don’t blame him for feeling weak. Courtney Lee Dunked him too, so it’s not the first time we’ve seen it.
Dose any one out there wany to buy the tape of lebron being dunk on bidders can start biding at $100 k hehehheheheheh
NO WHERE DOES IT SAY LEBRON confiscated the tapes they ALL SAY NIKE DID. If you read, read it right Nike has millions of dollars invested in Lebron They probably thought this would hurt his image and the sale of his shoes n whatever else he has with NIKE. LEARN HOW BUSINESS WORKS N GET ALL THE FACTS BE4 U JUDGE.
Skip Bayless makes great money being anti whatever everyone else likes,lol. I watch him everyday.
I wonder how much groupie love Jordan Crawford got after that hit the airways…lol. Lebron on some real lame-ish by trying to cover it up, if he was real with it, he would have just laughed it off and kept playing . get ole’ boy on the next play but now he made it a bigger story that it was meant to be.
J.C. i hope you get drafted next year by some team in LB’s confernece so you can do it to him again in the pros.
I bet this dude be a lotto pick in next years draft…all cause he BOOMED on 23. Basketball is becoming a joke to me. All about who can dunk on who.
Lebron is WEAK for trying to cover this up! Sending Nike over to the cameramen to take their tapes? Dude is a total lame. Between that selfish move he pulled after they lost in the playoffs vs. Orlando to this, he’s showing himself to be more and more of a punk by the day.
I’m not into B-BALL OR NOTHING, BUT I hope that little clip gets MAD PUBLICITY!!! JUST BECAUSE LeBron James went to dirty-assed lengths to conseal it!!! GO, Jordan!!! LMFAO@LeBron!! Phuck ‘em!!
Wow. Well Lebron it is part of the game. Kobe has gotten dunked on before. Im sure someone caught Micheal Jordan before. I mean, if you play defense and try to block dunks its gonna happen. Your 99 blocks wont be a big deal but that one time you lost will be. No one is invincible. Any one who plays good defense at the rim is gonna catch one eventually.
IS THIS WHAT THE HYPE ABOUT. MA DAWG SITTIN ON 90 MILLION HATERS.
U KNO HOW BADLY I WANTD TA SEE THIS
ESPN dont even have dis video
smmfh
Man – thats all?? I mean damn, Nike hella OVER-REACTED then!!! He got banged on but it wasnt all that serious.. lol.
anybody can be dunked on…especially in a game that doesn’t count for much…this is a lot of hype over nothing!!

by a white boy!!!!
pshhhhhh why that don’t surprise me!!!!! LeBron thinks he’s the best && can’t be dunked I guess. LOL Don’t get me wrong I like him && all but come on maynnnnnnnnnnnnne get a life there’s always someone out there better than you!!!
Come on Lebron!!! You got dunked on. Be a man about it. You’ve posterized many players and they had to be on ESPN in shame. Quit being a girl about it. What is wrong with you?
