By many eyewitness accounts, there was a major two-handed dunk thrown down by Xavier's Jordan Crawford on Monday, during a pickup game at the LeBron James Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio.Not a big deal, really, because highlight-worthy dunks happen in summer pickup games all the time, especially when there's nothing at stake and the defense can at times be non-existent.
It is reported that LeBron wanted all video tapes taken of the dunking taken away. A Nike official allegedly confiscated all tapes of Jordan Crawford dunking on LeBron James.
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 allegedly confiscating tapes from various cameramen.
A video taken by cellphone is bound to show up eventually. Nike and LeBron can't take away everyone's video.
Gary Parrish at CBS reported, Ryan Miller, a freelance photographer who was working at the camp that day, told CBSSports.com:
"LeBron called [Nike Basketball Senior Director Lynn Merritt] over and told him something," Miller said. "That's how I knew his name was Lynn. LeBron said, 'Hey, Lynn. Come here.'" The Nike official promptly took away all video of the incident.
Congratulations Jordan Crawford. Maybe Nike will have a line of Jordan Crawford shoes coming soon.
