What is all this raucous about Lebron James getting dunked on?”
On Monday night, a pair of videographers recorded Xavier’s Jordan Crawford dunking on James during a pickup game. After James allegedly huddled with Nike executive Lynn Merritt, the tapes were confiscated. Somebody give LeBron James a shot of 5-hour humility. Since Cleveland’s season ended against Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals, King James has acted less like LeBron and more like LeBaby. In recent months, there have been nagging signs that for all James has accomplished, he still has some growing up to do. But this week, James outdid himself when he turned an innocent dunk at his basketball camp in Akron into a covert Navy SEALs operation. They want us to believe this isn’t about James’ wounded pride, even though Ryan Miller — one of the videographers who filmed the dunk — told several media outlets he was informed earlier in the day by public-relations staffers that he could videotape the game.

Predictably, Nike came to James’ rescue and insisted the tapes were only commandeered because videotaping pickup games after hours is against policy.
