I'm a big fan of Lebron James. I love how he plays the game of basketball. He's a leader on the floor. He gets his teammates involved. He makes everyone around him better. If I've ever thought anyone could eventually be mentioned in the same sentence with Jordan, it's Lebron.But King James just took a step back in my book. Word around the internet is that James had a two-handed dunk thrown down on him by Xavier's Jordan Crawford in a pick-up game at Lebron's basketball skills camp. Shortly after the dunk was caught on tape by a couple of cameramen, the tapes were confiscated by a Nike representative. According to one cameraman, Lebron called over a Nike representative and immediately afterwards his tape was taken.
And, get this, videotaping is permitted at Lebron's camp. These cameramen had been shooting footage all day. But one little dunk in a pick-up game got Lebron's (and Nike's) heartrate going.
Humility is a good thing. Nobody's perfect. Learn from Devin Harris, another NBA starter:
I mean, I realize that once something hits YouTube, every single human being is going to see it. And if it's potentially embarrassing, then that makes it a little worse for you. But grow up. Who cares if you got dunked on in a pick-up game? It's not the end of the world. We've been witnesses to your greatness, Lebron. Let us witness those things that make you mortal, too.
