Witches' Brew: Queen James Gets Dunked On and Nike Goes to "Operation Dunkgate"

Queen James Gets Dunked On and Nike Goes to "Operation Dunkgate"



Uh so Queen James (a title he earned after his bitch ass display of poor sportsmanship after losing the conference finals to Orlando and not congratulating D. Howard and his shoulders...... mmmm those shoulders) ok back on track, yeah so Queen James apparently got dunked on while hosting the Nike-run LeBron James Skills Academy by Xavier University sophomore Jordan Crawford. But in swoops Nike (Just Do It) in full 'captain-save-a-Queen' mode to confiscate the tapes so that it doesn't get out that Queen James, their advertising darling, is letting college players get the best of him.

From cbssports.com....

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."

Crawford talks about the dunk we'll never see.....



I mean excuse me? Even b-ball great Michael Jordan and the legendary Bulls got dunked on. Ok fine is wasn't by a college player, but it mine as well had been since it was John Starks:



GO NEW YORK, GO NEW YORK GO!!!!!


Ok but really, shame on you Nike, let Jordan Crawford get his propers!.... it's not that serious! Maybe you can console Queen James with a mani/pedi......

LeBron has been a comedy of errors and bitch moves since the SECOND his season ended... I expect more of this from him in the future.
