What? We Can't Bear Witness?

You have got to be kidding me. What's up with your boy Lebron, man?

Re: What? We Can't Bear Witness?

I know I shouldn't read the comments...but I did.

Somebody said this is one of the reasons he will never win a ring...because he's concerned with his image.

I had to laugh at that

I blame Nike.

They are just trying to protect his image. I don't think LBJ had a hand in it.

Is this the same Jordan Crawford who played at Indiana U for a season or so a couple years ago?

Anyway, I think that's bush league on the part of LeBron to take away all the video footage showing him getting dunked on. Anyone defending near the basket can get dunked on in any given situation, no matter how famous that person is. No reason to be sour about it and/or try to save face once it happens to you.

Check out the first page.

Nike does not want you to see that dunk

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Freelance photographer Ryan Miller was one of the cameramen shooting the game.

He told CBSSports.com that Nike Basketball Senior Director Lynn Merritt took his tape.

"He just said, 'We have to take your tape,'" Miller said. "They took it from other guys, too."

Worth noting is that there is no policy against filming at the LeBron James Skills Academy, and Miller said he had been filming all day without incident. Nobody ever told him to stop. Nobody ever said there was a problem ... until after Crawford dunked on James.

"LeBron called Lynn over and told him something," Miller said. "That's how I knew his name was Lynn. LeBron said, 'Hey, Lynn. Come here.'"

Minutes later, Miller said Merritt demanded his tape.


"There's nothing I can think of besides LeBron just not wanting it online," Miller said. "It's a good story to tell people, I guess. But then again, I'm kind of pissed. I lost my tape.""

I'll put this one in the sore loser file with the others.

I read that Kruza, but I'm still not willing to speculate what was said in that conversation between those two.

Re: What? We Can't Bear Witness?

I'm really disappointed cause I would have loved to see that. I'm just eager to know if it was one of those "soft dunks" that people tend to overhype or if it was one of those "body bumpin, player stumbling to catch his balance once he hit the ground" type dunks. Hmmmm, I wonder.
