At long last, we finally get our first look at the super-controversial video footage of LeBron James getting dunked on by Xavier guard, Jordan Crawford, at LeBron’s summer camp a few weeks back. The dunk became headline news after it came out that Nike and LeBron were allegedly trying to confiscate the tape so that no one could see the Swoosh’s golden boy in a less than flattering position. Keep reading after the jump to watch two different versions of the infamous throw-down. After seeing the videos, let us know if you think it was really necessary to go to such great lengths to try to keep this footage under wraps.

Jordan – schooled by some accountant lookin dude: laughed it off.
Devin Harris – schooled on the playground by a nobody: laughed it off.
James – dunked on by a rising NBA prospect: HIDE THAT TAPE!!!
That was NOT worth getting paranoid over & hiding the footage. JAMES = fail of the year.

man…lebron’s a punk. it doesn’t matter who you are, you will get dunked on.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Stupid, that was nothing to be ashamed of. I wouldn’t even say Lebron got dunked on! STUPID!!!

First off, who cares if he got dunked on or not. Second, Lebron got to the play late and wasn’t taken off the dribble or even facing up on the guy. Is there nothing else to talk about but this? Hey Nike, do something worthwhile and retro more Jordans.

I’m not really a hardcore fan of basketball but does’nt that happen to everyone eventualy?

That wasn’t even all that Ive see worse as long as he didn’t fall it’s cool because lebron can back it up we all witness that so show me something better like when lebron blocked kobe’s lay up and he busted ass lol

lebron got to the play late? are you kidding me scott? he was right there and he got dunked on stupid..

Nike should come out with a commercial that has LeBron releasing the tape to show that there’s no controversy, but they should do a cheesy edit job and put LeBron’s face on Jordan’s and Jordan’s on LeBron’s so it looks like LeBron dunked on him. Then they should do a shot of Jordan watching it from somewhere and getting a text or something from LeBron and make a joke out of it. Then we all can forget about it.

Oh WOW… Who cares… LeBron is LeBron… An NBA Allstar with his own sneaker. I wouldn’t even care if this cat dunked on me as long as i don’t fall.

Man all that hype over this and it wasn’t even that great. People made this out to be some legend shit. Agree with CHOLLY DA BEAT. James wasn’t even facing him on that dunk. I been in some bball games were people literally get Teabag and put to shame on a dunk. This aint nothing.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
thats it all the hype… its just a dunk.. 2points
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
that shiit wassint even dat bad i bet you if lebron dunked on him it would have been 100% worse stupids
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Hey Nothingness, I said who cares if he got dunked on(which implies he got dunked on) and you might want to take an English class that includes punctuation…. stupid. Should I explain what the word “implies” means?

WAIT WAIT WAIT TIMEOUT! all the people that are sAyin lebrons a punk wat the in the world r ya sayin was lebron the 1 to run over and take the tapes from the people no it was nike they were the ones that did it. and on aneither note all this was here they were playin a pick up game and everyone nose they dont go hard for no reason unless its worth it and i bet lebron wood dunk on him like nuffin. and all ya are makin jordan seem like hes the greatest because lebron dunk on nba players and i bet when jordan cums to the nba he wood not do that to lebron.

^^^ Dis nigga crazy. If Jordan was in his heyday, he put him on a highlight reel for the rest of his life like he did Patrick Ewing. Ok you must of not read it right. The ONLY reason Nike went and confiscated all tapes was because Lebron was cryin like a lil girl and didn’t want the world to see it. Your shit don’t even make sense. But like I said the dunk on him wasn’t even that great.

king james is wack.. i wouldnt worry about some college kid.. worry about paul pierce dropping 40 in the playoffs
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:29 pm
C’MON MAN.. HE DIDN’T EVEN GET FACIALIZED! THAT WAS WEAK… HIDING THE TAPE FOR WHAT?!?! IT IS ALL HYPE! WHO’S B-BALL CAMP WAS IT?? KING JAMES… LOL

LJ didn’t even go up strong and If you watch close he wasn’t lined up wit the cat who was dunking. You can’t say it was a great dunk because they weren’t face to face his hand was all to the side and shit.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:50 pm
No one ever said the dunk was crazy or anything like that. The crazy part was how the tapes got snatched. You guys need to pay more attention.
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:12 am
Nike took these video from people why if you look James’s hands are on his side and its not even his man not to mention he dunked on the side of him
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:38 am
yo dey should do a commercial were either kobe(puppet of course) gets dunked on and the same thing happens & lebron wakes up or lebron gets dunked on wakes up and turns on the t.v. & see it or is in the gym and dunks on somebody and ppl come up and be like jordan crawford could do that with his eyes close

Fuck All U Haters LBJ = MVP…And If Any Real Baller Player Can See Lebron Didnt Contest The Dunk He Just Jumped Up…Thats LikeYur Kid Bro Shootin In Face while u Put a hand up and watch…shit its not that serious
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:34 am
im a big LBJ fan..
this was nothin 2 hide..
like really…
he startin 2 act like a b*tch..
this wouldnt have never hit ESPN if he hadnt tried 2 hide it..
like wtf..
this is jus stupid..
but now this is gonna be part of his legacy..
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:32 am
I wonder if Nike would do something like this to grab headlines during the slowest time of the sports calendar? Did anyone happen to notice the other 10-20 times LBJ got thrown down upon THIS SEASON ALONE?

I am a lebron fan b4 him it was Jordan, but he did get dunked on but it wasnt bad. The way they were talkn about I thought he tomahawked it and lebron fail. lol I mean I think he would have gotten n e bodywith that dunk he dunk so fast. which is nature going up against some like that. but lebron should have taken that one. he did let us c but the hiding of the tape did the opposite of what he or “nike” was trying to do. It made ppl c another side. And I hope his ego its that big to were he doesnt thing that he can get dunked on. everyine get dunked on at some point.

Jordan Crawford, a kid from Detroit and current guard on the Xavier University basketball team dunked over LeBron James at a skills camp. Crawford was wearing Adidas, LeBron wears Nike. Does this suggest Adidas makes a better basketball shoe than Nike? If you wear Adidas could you dunk over LeBron? What do you think?

….i dont really think he dunked on him….
July 24th, 2009 at 2:13 am
this should not be worth your time… i would much rather watch the hundreds of tapes of Lebron dunking on other people. summer league… he got dunked on… was probably more worried about his multiple business ventures at the time… who really cares… he’s 6’9 280 and moves like a panther… if anything the xavier kid should be stoked… nike needs to give out some free shoes and stop the bleeding at this point… we’re all tired of hearing about this.
July 27th, 2009 at 12:05 am
ARE WE SERIOUS!!?? See I heard about this trash for awhile and didnt even see it until now. I was thinking that possibly he was dunked on from say, a fast break? This garbage is WORTHLESS. LEBRON would DISRESPECT this kid on the court EVERYDAY and twice on Sunday. Please lets move on.

whats the fuss? if LJ made a fuss about it then he is plain stupid. If Nike made a fuss then they created a bad rap for LJ… One thing is certain, this video doesnt deserve the attention its made out to be
