- chicagojack, on 07/08/2009, -3/+176This is worse than if the video got out
- thezoner, on 07/08/2009, -1/+136MJ would have laughed, challenged the kid to a game of 1 on 1 and then scorched him for all the world to see. LeWuss!
- ocharry, on 07/08/2009, -0/+107James getting dunked on isn't that big of a deal. Confiscating the tapes makes the whole thing worse and just shows that they are massive douches.
- mandraque, on 07/08/2009, -6/+104Is he the king or the queen?
- mongo25, on 07/08/2009, -1/+95The cameramen were dumb for letting the Nike rep take the footage... especially if there was no policy against taping, as the article states. Grow a sack and tell the Nike rep to get lost.
- anklesnap, on 07/08/2009, -2/+85I can't believe a simple word from Lebron results in Nike confiscating footage from reporters. Wow.
- mizarone, on 07/08/2009, -1/+81And afterwards he would serve pancakes
- calypsoschnitzl, on 07/08/2009, -1/+60Did LeBron storm off the playground again?
- donny4321, on 07/08/2009, -4/+43This king is a tyrant.
- decker12, on 07/08/2009, -0/+37If the cameraman had any journalistic integrity, then the correct conversation should have gone like this:
Nike Rep: "Give me the tape."
Cameraman: "***** yourself." - prisoner24601, on 07/08/2009, -0/+33No I'M Spartacus!
- bubbameister33, on 07/08/2009, -2/+34He's a LeBitch.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -5/+36Lebron is bigger than basketball. He is a _brand_. Of course he can pull crap like this.
- rjshatz, on 07/08/2009, -0/+31Keep in mind, if LeBron loses his thunder then Cleveland's economy will die. Think of the city!
- wukillabee, on 07/08/2009, -0/+30Ryan Miller: [The dunk] was good. I haven't looked online to read too much about it. It was as good as it could've been hyped up to be. LeBron's team actually lost two out of three games to these college guys. It was LeBron; Danny Green, the rookie; Christian Eyenga, the rookie; Tarence Kinsey, who's on the team; and one of LeBron's high school buddies. And Jordan Crawford blew by Danny Green, the kid from North Carolina on the Cavs. And LeBron came for some help defense, and they jumped at the same time, and he threw it down with two hands over LeBron. This is, like, a 6-foot-4 kid.
Interviewer: Man. So then, when you get word that they want your camera, then, how did that all break down?
Miller: It's funny because LeBron's team won that game, actually, [the one] with the dunk. And then LeBron's team lost the next game to the same group of college guys. And LeBron was just standing there, grabbing some water, 'cause it was winners stay on, so LeBron had to sit out a game. And I actually went up and introduced myself and said, "Hey, I'm Ryan Miller." LeBron's good friends with Jonny Flynn, and I know Jonny real well, and I was like, "[I'm] good friends with Jonny." Jonny gave me a little message to tell LeBron if I ended up seeing him. He's like, "Oh, where are you from?" I said, "Syracuse" - [it was a] "nice to meet you" type of thing. He's pretty friendly. Then two minutes later, I saw him go over to Lynn Merritt, the director of basketball at Nike, and then he was talking to him for a second, and then Lynn brought me and another camera guy over. We were the only two people filming - it was later at night - and they said, we need your tape. They claimed you weren't supposed to be shooting the college and the pro guys working out, and I was told earlier in the day that you could, and there was no media policy saying you couldn't. It had to have been because LeBron - he played terribly all day, actually. Those three games he played terribly. So my guess is he didn't want anybody seeing the footage. That's the only thing we could think of.
Interviewer: So when you get your camera or tape - so that tape is gone?
Miller: I don't know what happened to it. He originally claimed, well, like, these guys are just getting in shape right now, these Cavs guys. People don't need to be seeing 'em. He was kind of giving me the runaround with different excuses. There was a guy in charge of the media who took my tape, and he's like, "You know what, lemme just pass this by the Nike guys, and I'll give it back to you in the morning." But the next morning, he said the director at Nike actually wanted the tape himself, so I have no idea where it is. - hawkdude56, on 07/08/2009, -0/+27This is pretty embarrassing, and I agree that this is worse than if the tape actually got out.
Keep in mind though, that sometimes things just happen like this. The best player on the planet can get schooled by some kid. Reminds me of that British street baller Stuart Tanner that took Devin Harris to school. Not like the guy could play in the NBA, but sometimes it just happens like that.
Here's the vid in case anyone hasn't seen it.

- ZeeZee2k, on 07/08/2009, -0/+26or blackmail them later for alot of money
- ElAmo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+25Now we know he got dominated AND that he is a bitch of a sore loser.
- Hota, on 07/08/2009, -0/+18Maybe as Jordan Crawford was hanging onto the rim after his monster jam, his Reebok shoes were all up in LeBron's face.
- Ysaric, on 07/09/2009, -3/+21@Habschick
Thanks for duping me, DB
http://digg.com/basketball/LeBron_gets_dunked_on_b ... - TexMexRex, on 07/09/2009, -0/+18What kind of pussy reporter turns his tape over to Nike?
- SuperSneaks, on 07/09/2009, -0/+17Since LeBron is going hide that video. Lets all see him get dunked on by Courtney Lee.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LadJgjqaaM - inactive, on 07/08/2009, -2/+19If this is true, may be the coolest sports news of the summer.
- Gravey9, on 07/08/2009, -0/+16ahem...why give them the tapes??? It sounds like they just handed them over without question...fishy...
- cantdance, on 07/08/2009, -0/+16We are all witnesses.
- flamesrule, on 07/09/2009, -0/+15Princess apparently
- sgvprelude, on 07/09/2009, -0/+14I would imagine it to be something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBF1lsZUlUI
- cyrix, on 07/09/2009, -0/+13This isn't MJ in his prime, but it's still MJ getting beaten and he took it well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00edJBHpSJs
Granted he wasn't trying hard, but still. - eraser34, on 07/08/2009, -0/+13Damn it people Charlie Murphy says pancakes twice!
- teh_spazz, on 07/08/2009, -2/+14Shaq would never have let that happen.
- SomeRandomGuy, on 07/08/2009, -0/+12More important is what you don't see in that Devin Harris vid, namely Harris being a huge prick about Tanner. Harris takes it stride, because any REAL basketball player knows that some days you win, some days you lose.
I guess that's what happens when your goal is becoming a "global icon" and not becoming a "world champion". - TheSwashbuckler, on 07/09/2009, -0/+11What a wuss.
LeBron needs to grow the ***** up. First that BS with not shaking hands with the Orlando players and now this.
And that freelancer needs to grow some balls... - iamthewalrus904, on 07/09/2009, -3/+14I can assure you that I was not aware of the other comment. Once again, I will not be able to prove this to you but I never even read the comments on the other page. I am, however, glad that you noticed this because it is the strangest coincidence that I have personally been a part of. I realize the facts aren't in my favor (i.e. being almost verbatim, close proximity of time) but I take very seriously the originality of my content and any plagiaristic behaviors. I sincerely thank you for pointing this out to me and I will be sure to check the comments made on the original page in the future.
- diemunkiesdie, on 07/09/2009, -0/+10I'm going to have to confiscate this comment for safety reasons. Hand it over!
-Nike - scooterbaga, on 07/08/2009, -8/+18who?
- vishadomini, on 07/09/2009, -1/+10Michael Jordan was bigger than Lebron and basketball combined.
- SomeRandomGuy, on 07/08/2009, -0/+9Hey dude, he just didn't want that video confiscated because, you know, he's a winner, and he's not used to having to deal with things like that.
/LeXcuse - ZonGuy, on 07/09/2009, -0/+9LeBron is the douche. He asked the the footage be taken away... it really doesn't surprise me. The guy is trying to have as polished an image as Jordan, but sorry LeBron...Jordan was THE MAN.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 07/09/2009, -3/+11No, it's not.
This will mostly be forgotten in a week or two. That dunk would have lived forever on YouTube... - jjesusfreak01, on 07/09/2009, -0/+8I find it hard to believe Lebron would have a problem being dunked on, and ask to have the tapes confiscated. No one doubts that King James is an amazing awesome bball player. Asking to have the tapes taken away just makes him look like a douche.
- joshmoney, on 07/09/2009, -0/+7Sell the footage to TMZ...
- ohplease, on 07/09/2009, -2/+9If controlling the media keeps people like you from saying the word "sheeple" and thinking you are 3dgy or original then I vote we control the living ***** out of it.
- hydroponik, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6Lebron bitching out again like in the playoffs
- ninzo09, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6you're a disgrace to the great nation of canada
- asus2000, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5Some millionaire who runs back and forth on a court with other millionaires who all work for a big corporation and whose jobs are to throw spheres through hoops.
- tofus, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6win or lose. harris still wins cause he makes millions of dollars and that tanner guy just plays street ball.
- brownsound00, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5Keyword if. Swash is right, a youtube video lasts a lot longer than a 1 page article
