Here's video of LeBron James dunking on a high schooler

As if Americans couldn’t dislike LeBron James more after he told us that we “have to get back to the real world at some point,” he took his talents to a youth basketball camp and dunked on a pre-pubescent baller high school student who looks like a pre-pubescent baller in a friendly game of knockout. Afterward, LeBron told reporters he hates puppies and American-made automobiles. OK, so maybe I made that last part up, but people will act like he did after they watch this video.

1. Better yet....
Nike takes videographers' tapes at LeBron camp

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — What happens at LeBron's camp stays at LeBron's camp.

A minor controversy erupted at the LeBron James Skills Academy on Monday night when two videographers recorded a pickup game in which Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunked on James.

Gary Parrish reported on CBSSports.com that a Nike representative confiscated tapes of the dunk after conferring with James.


A representative with Nike, which runs the camp at the University of Akron in James' hometown, made no mention of Crawford's dunk. He said the tapes were confiscated because videotaping of after-hours pickup games at the camp is not allowed.

"Nike has been operating basketball camps for the benefit of young athletes for decades and has long-standing policies as to what events are open and closed to media coverage. Unfortunately, for the first time in four years, two journalists did not respect our no videotaping policy at an after-hours pickup game following the LeBron James Skills Academy," said Nike spokesman Derek Kent on Wednesday. A spokesman for James said he had no comment.

3. I'm no LaBron fan
but that didn't seem so bad. He thought the kid would get out of the way after making his shot. The drill was they needed to make the basket and LaBron was just trying to keep up the intensity for the kids. I thought it was going to be a dunk in a game.
