I See Dunked On People

We all know the infamous "Lebron getting dunked on" tape was somehow released this week. After watching the video, it is very clear to me that anyone would have been embarrassed after being dunked on in that fashion. What was more embarrassing than the dunk was the way Nike and Lebron handled the situation. The dunk was bad, but not quite as bad as I expected. There was really no reason to hide the video.

Of course, it would have made its way onto YouTube and across the internet, but that would only have lasted for so long. Now, we have a situation where Lebron and Nike look bad, Jordan Crawford is basically a celebrity, and whoever leaked the tape to TMZ most likely made a decent sum of money. Lebron and Nike made a nice attempt to keep the tape under wraps but they should have known that there was bound to be more than one person recording that game. I guess all I can say is...nice try.

The good news is Lebron has a lot of more important things to worry about. (Like figuring out how he will lead his revamped Cleveland Lebrons past the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics, hopefully making it to an NBA Championship.) As soon as Lebron wows us with a few ESPN highlights at the start of the season, we'll quickly forget about the video. Surely, at some point during the season, Skip Bayless will remind us of how James was dunked on in his own camp...but by that time, none of us will care anymore.
