Oh this is good. I couldn't dream of a better ending to his career. Kinda funny that the name Jordan was involved.
Ryder, if you allow, I'd like to make it my new avatar. Finally something what beats Russian car industry( see my avatar)
He's the Darth Vader of the NBA...he had his stormtroopers recover the stolen transmissions BEFORE they got stored in R2D2.
They're talking about this story on Sportscenter tonight. I didn't have the patience to wait around for it, but it was one of their teasers at the intro.
"Oh, you may have erased the video of the dunk, LeBron James, but you haven't erased the video of your soul. FOR SHAME. Seriously, though, LeBron? Seriously? You had them erase the video? Not cool, bro. Not cool." LeBron James, and the Tale of the Never Seen Dunk - Ball Don't Lie - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
I can't believe this story wasn't just made up. It seems so absurd that it couldn't possibly be true.
Seriously? I think this fits right in with the Lebron James the egomaniac we have been watching develop the last few seasons.
That's why I would have at first guessed that it would be made up... because it plays into the theme so well. But with the multiple corroborating witnesses, and the validation by ESPN, I guess it is true. Being in the public spotlight as a teenager really ruins a lot of people it seems.
He knew he'd take a PR hit, but it really was the right thing to do. If you were the guy at Nike in charge of deleting the footage, would you not make a copy for yourself first?
Guess Lebron learned from his first embarrassment YouTube - NBA Star LeBron James gets beat by David Kalb- Horse in Venice, Cali.
