    Maybe that's why the photog is, you know, a freelancer (ducking, covering).

    Wonder if Ryan Miller handed his nuts over as well ...

    Wasn't there a kid "destroyed" by a dunk a young unknown named Tracy McGrady did on him over a decade ago.

    A dunk is just two points people. Two jumpshots are twice as good as one dunk.

    Seriously, it's five seconds of a long game. What is embarrassing is if this kid lit James for 30 points.

    The only reason he was able to dunk on Lebron was because of his college experience.

    Damn straight.

    Seriously, though. Did Michael Cooper retire when Dr. J dunked on him?

    Too much is made of "cred" and "props" by many players.

    "We lost by 15, but did you see that sweet move I did in the third quarter?"

    In politics, the cover up makes the crime even worse. Same thing here.

    Let the video alone, it goes to Youtube. Maybe a sports BLOG! or two link it. By taking the tape, however, you made it a national story during the slowest time of the year.

    Supposedly, the freelance photographers/videographers were not allowed to be shooting during "pick-up" games, which is what this game was. That is the reason for them taking the tapes.

    The story here is Nike's attempt to hide the evidence, it's not the dunk itself. And in Nike's world two jumpshots most certainly are not twice as good as one dunk. To them it's all about selling images, and god forbid the world see the image of their most expensive assett being embarrassed by some kid.

    Yeah, the wuss kind of gave it up pretty easy. Unless the guy asking me is packing heat, he can go fuck himself.

    Fuck that, too. The guy said he was shooting stuff all day, without incident, until LB got his facial.
    Fuck Nike. They're part of the real Axis of Evil: Nike/IMG/WWLeader

    Sure, a dunk is only two points, but it's what makes highlight reels for a while.

    Dr. J's dunk is more than 20 years old, but it's still shown over and over again. The same can be said for MJ's jumper vs. Cleveland, but yeah. No one remembers what player took a nice jumper in the 2000 Olympics, but all know this image...

    I'm sorry folks, but if this tape gets out, it will be proof positive that LeBron sucks.

    Good move by James and Nike.
