I think it’s time for this story to die. You know, some college kid named Crawford dunked on LeBron during a pickup basketball game. So, let’s interview the kid on TV and the radio.
OK, now let’s try to make it a controvey by telling eveyone that Nike took the tapes - maybe, some hinted, after LBJ spoke to the Nike reps.
Is it true? Probably, at least it is certainly possible.
My response — so what?
In an age when we have athletes behaving badly, like - McNair, Stallworth, Sosa, Vick — this dunk video shouldn’t even be an issue. Am I protective of LeBron?
Probably.
Was it childish or disappointing that maybe — maybe — he talked the Nike guys into confiscating the tape.
I guess so
But does it need to be on every newscast? Do they need to make “I dunked on LeBron” t-shirts. (BTW -That’s a great money maker, I wonder if LBJ thought of that himself). Does it need all this coverage? Does this make LBJ a bad person?
Nope, maybe it proves he’s not perfect but, he’s better than most other millionaires his age, that’s for sure.
So…….
C’mon Man - drop it
P. S. I hope they are recording the next time this Crawford guy tries to dunk over LeBron - pickup game or otherwise. My guess is that video will be very popular and the results much different.
Crawford might regret granting all these interviews.
