LeBron Dunk Tape Revealed

watch at 30 seconds and 1 minute in.

First reaction: The Dunk that has been talked about for the past few weeks is not a big deal at all. It is a pretty vicious two handed dunk and a great drive by Jordan Crawford, but LeBron barely had a chance at blocking it. All this really exposes is some bad pick and roll defense and mediocre rotation by The King. There is not even a good camera angle to view it from so this would never have been a huge internet sensation.

Nike's explanation for taking the tape is that they wanted to draw attention away from the media coverage and focus on the camp's purpose of improving the skills of the players, but its pretty clear they took the tape to preserve the perfect image of the chosen one. To bad they just tarnished it by making him look a little more like the kid who is way too concerned with his image. Kind of like kobe...
