I Thought U Wanted a Witness???
Hey,Lebron, is that you under there??!
We all assumed he was nicknamed "King James" because he reigns on the basketball court. But maybe LeBron James earned that nickname due to his being the King of the
Pussies and sore losers!
We all know about his show of piss-poor sportsmanship in the Eastern Conf Finals against The Magic this year(in case you live in cave,he refused to shake the Magic players/coach's hand after they got there asses spanked in the series), but on last week, further evidence of King "Jane's" true color was revealed.Jordan Crawford, a sophomore at Xavier put his name on the map when he dunked on LeBron during a pick-up game at the LeBron James Skills Academy. Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com wrote that one high school player said, "it was bad! He should be coughin up ball hairs for weeks!" (ok I added that last part : )
LeBron must have agreed with his assessment, because he had Nike officials confiscate the two videos that were taken of the dunk. (Parrish blames Nike, but reading between the lines it seems like the censorship was orchestrated by LeBron himself.
The funny thing about all this shit is Lebron has actually made this shit worse than it had to be. What ball player you know has never been dunked on? Lamar Odom gets dunked on every 2 games! So did Zo, Ewing, Robinson, Olajuwon,etc! Hell, even Jordan gave Jon Starks his 15 minutes of fame once.
The Crawford dunk would have been a temporary embarrassment for LeBron. Let's say the video was put on YouTube. It blows up for a bit, dominates blogs for 36 hours, everyone has a good chuckle and then it's forgotten about.
But by censoring the tape, LeBron turns the dunk into goddamn legend! On video, it's just a dunk. Without video, the jam can reach mythic proportions. Because nobody can see it, the story of the dunk will grow in stature with each telling. Today, it was a simple two-handed slam. In a few days, it will be a 360-degree windmill. By the time Crawford makes his Xavier debut in October, he will have jumped off LeBron's shoulders, flipped in the air, slammed the ball home with his left pinkie and then handed LeBron $3.99 for his dry cleanin!
My advice to Lebron: Get over your fuckin self ! It happens to all the greats...in fact, it has happened to you before! Don't believe me? Check the tapes below...

ReplyDeleteJust another spoiled athlete. I dunked on my son on his playskool basketball hoop, did some showboating, and kicked him off the team. He took it like a man, drank juice from his sippy cup, and watched cartoons.
