As many people know, Lebron James is one of the best players in the NBA and one of the most explosive dunkers we have seen in a long time. But when the word got out that Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunked over Lebron (nicknamed "King James") during a pick-up game at Lebron's own Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio, the media and world went crazy. Right after the dunk happened on Monday, July 6th, The King went over to NIKE's Basketball Senior Director Lynn Merritt to have the tapes confiscated so no one could see them on the internet. It seems like James knows that it is the truth but is trying to stay as far away from this as possible. The media was extremely surprised by what happened and I think this has really been a low blow for Lebron. There is a debate between whether Lebron James or Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA, and this incident is another hard hit on Lebron's side to add onto him losing in the Eastern Conference Finals while Bryant won his 4th championship with the Lakers. Although it seems like it is not a big deal, this is really not a good thing for Lebron. It is a big deal, but you have to give credit to Jordan Crawford for pulling something off that is so unheard of. All hail King Crawford

I've heard about the video many times but didn't actually see it until tonight. It doesn't really seem like a big deal anymore, I mean, the crowd wasn't going crazy or anything. It just seemed like Lebron jumped in at the last minute and got denied. However, I think all of the hype is great for Jordan Crawford...
