LeBron James - The Dunk Hype

By now, I am sure you have seen the video footage that was allegedly confiscated of LeBron James getting dunked on by 20 year old, Jordan Crawford at LeBron's skills camp. Supposedly, the Nike corporation seized all the video there. For whatever reason, you draw your own conclusions. Every gossip blog on the world wide web has posted it and making it seem like it's this really big deal. The young guy just dunked on him, nothing more, nothing less. This goes back to a posting I did a few months ago where I talked about how we as people, are so quick to place people on untouchable pedestals, so when something "human" occurs in their lives, WE are devastated. I got news for all of you, LeBron James is human. Forget the commercial endorsements, the cartoons, the hype even the playoffs. At the end of the day, LeBron James is just like you or I. We wake up each morning, we pee, we do our best to appease people on the street with our appearance, we work, eat, breathe, pray and then lie down at night in hopes that the almighty will show favor on us to see another day to attempt to get our lives in order before we face Him. So while everyone is saying LeBron got dunked on, did anyone bother to ask maybe he just let the guy have a moment? No, because it doesn't make good press. Now on the flip, Nike was dead wrong. I do hate the Nike corporation like I hate beets, but that a story for a blog posting at a later date. Anyway, Lebron, you are still cool in my book and if it makes you feel better, just last year, my 5 year old nephew beat me really bad playing Pac-Man on PS2. So I did what any other 40 year old would do in that situation; I smashed the gaming system against the t.v., flipped his chair, told him he cheated and to get out of my room. What?
