Dunk With Power

A CBSSports.com article and an article by Chris Chase in rivals.com from Yahoo Sports, claims that LeBron James got dunked on by Xavier University sophomore Jordan Crawford.
Crawford, according to the articles, had a two-hand slam on James during Monday's LeBron James Skills Academy at the University of Akron.
James, just like many all stars, has been dunked on before. But what generated some pause was that you will never see the dunk on video.
Turns out, there were at least two cameras rolling Monday night when Crawford dunked on James during a pick-up game here at the LeBron James Skills Academy. It was a two-handed jam, the kind that would've circulated quickly on YouTube. But Nike officials eliminated that possibility shortly after the dunk happened by confiscating tapes from various cameramen.

...hasn't James been anointed with the moniker of 'class act'? ...a bruised ego and the corrupt power to manipulate his own image... sorry LeBron, your classification has dropped a couple of notches...
