LeBron dunk outed!

by nischwartz on Jul 22, 2009 3:32 PM PDT

Can't tell if it is real or not, but the footage seems passable.

I wonder how much that guy got paid for the video? Let's hope for some of this from the Warriors this season.

What do you guys think about it? Sweet? Lame? Could you do better?
My Starting 5 for next year:
1. Monta 2. Jax 3. AR 4. Wright 5. Beans
6. Mags/Turiaf 7. Bukie

I watched this already. It’s not much to look at, but if you watch the right one, the guy who is filming it has a funny reaction.

this makes lebron looks even worse. the cover up was bad enough but damn, that was barely noteworthy. without the cover up this would have been forgotten about 5 seconds after it happened

Seriously.

It’s not the fact that LeBron got dunked on that made so much news, it’s that he tried covering it up. He’s not GOD, he shouldn’t expect to be untouchable on the NBA court; even Kobe and MJ have had their bad moments.

Lebron didn't try to cover it up

Nike did.

And who cares. This is the dumbest thing the media has ran with in the last 10 years.

incorrect. lebron asked people to go and confiscate the tapes, nike tried to take it on the chin for him.

If you’re going to be so assertive, the least you can do is recognize that it’s all speculation. We dont know who made the decision, or who said what.

right. ergo giving you the other side of the discussion. maybe this comment was meant for gurthy? i’ve read more accounts that it’s lebron, but you’re right, no way to know. both sound plausible to me.

they showed it on espn

so it went from a video people would watch maybe once on youtube to national tv. lebron should stop being such a baby

I don’t get it. It was a good dunk but not in the top 20 or anything, heck I would even have it on the forgettable dunks of all time.

unless of course this was in middle school.

There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.

its not that embarrasing... right??

Stop.......... Hammertime!!!!!

I was expecting much more than that

I cant believe Nike wanted to confiscate this. At least it wasn’t like this

Courtney Lee Dunked on Bron TWICE!! Anyone Remember??!! DAMN!

Why did no one like espn and all those media top doggs focus on the REAL dunk(s) on Lebron…..Does no one remember last month when COURTNEY LEE dunked on Lebron one-on-one fastbreak…..TWICE!!!
What is wrong with the media and everyone else???!!! That was 2 times Courtney Lee got Lebron HARD!!

by ineemoney21 on Jul 22, 2009 9:43 PM PDT reply actions

I’d like to see that. See it is really sweet when a special player gets dunked on, I mean it happens like in that clip but that’s why people (AR) liked to challenge Mont Montumbo, or when Baron went up and over AK47. It just brings the dunk to a whole new level.

Now this guy it was on a fast break so that’s going to happen, if it was a post up that’s another story.

And I don’t believe for a moment that James wanted that tape squashed but it was more Nike and his handlers that are more sensitive about his image.

There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.

Just another reason to laugh at Lebron James...

Trade to get Stat

PHX gets Ellis – Curry – Wright – Maggette
GSW gets Stoudamire – Barbosa

GSW
PG Barbosa
SG Jackson – Morrow
SF Randolph – Azubuike
PF Stoudamire
C Biedrins – Turiaf

This team looks sickk!!

by gambinofam on Jul 23, 2009 9:13 AM PDT reply actions

No not really

I would say 41 wins, I would never give up Ellis and Curry for STAT and Barbosa. Plus loosing Maggette for nothing really does not help.

If PHX doesn't like that trade..

here’s another proposal to sweeten the deal.

PHX gets Ellis – Curry – Wright – Maggette
GSW gets Stoudamire – Barbosa

PHX gets Biedrins – Belinelli – Davidson
GSW gets Wallace

GSW
PG Barbosa
SG Jackson – Morrow
SF Randolph – Azubuike
PF Stoudamire
C Turiaf – Wallace

So we waited all this time to watch a two handed dunk?! Talk about overrated. Lebron just went up to challenge the dunk and he was pretty out of position. I think he should’ve just let it play out when it actually happened instead of trying to cover it up. If he did that, it would’ve gotten viewed for a week, and totally forgotten about. But now that he tried to cover it up, it’s basically making a mountain out of an anthill. This happens all the time in the NBA regular season. Someone dunks over lebron, so what? He’s still the best player on the planet regardless.
