A viral video is supposed to spread like wildfire gaining fame and attention. So, when a video was taken of Jordan Crawford’s dunk on Lebron James during a pick-up game at Nike’s LeBron James Skills Academy at the University of Akron, it seems we have an instant classic. After all, it’s very rare for an unknown college student from an unknown university (Xavier University) to give “The King” his own version of a flush. The kid is 6’4″ and the king is 6’8″.
Except that there’s no video. Well, apparently there WAS.
For some reasons, Lebron James or Nike or whoever asked for the videos to be taken from the two guys who caught the dunk on tape. I don’t know what happened to the tapes but they might have been destroyed. It was confiscated to protect Lebron James.
What the!? Yes, Lebron is the best player in the NBA today and getting dunked on will tarnish his reputation. Crap! It reminds me of the time when Lebron left the arena without saying a word and snubbing everyone after his team defeat to the Orlando Magic in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Lebron is no sport at all.
Getting dunked on is part of the game. Even the great Michael Jordan experienced it. But it don’t necessarily makes you less of a man.
BONUS: Here’s a sick video of Lebron James getting dunked on by Nick Young. Enjoy!

You are right. Even His Airness has been dunked on a few times already but that does not deter him. Lebron should learn from the Master.
