Dunk You Very Much

You know, I love Lebron James. Everything about him. The fact that he's 6'9 and weighs somewhere around 270 and can move like a point guard. The fact that he actually plays defense and distributes the ball giving him a REAL stat card (take that Kobe). The fact that he was an all-state football player in high school. Even the fact that he stole Kevin Garnett's "powder" entrance and has made it his own. I stood up for 'Bron after the "Yankees hat" incident at the Indians game and when he put on parachute pants at the ESPYs. But more importantly, I admired Lebron as a class act. 

Well, maybe I should say had been a class act. 

I don't know what came over my boy after the playoffs. Sure, he's a man that talks and talks about his competitive side and how he can't stand to lose. But isn't every player at the pro level? Are you telling me Delonte West wasn't heart broken after being denied a trip to the Finals? Still, West stuck around and paid his dues, congratulating the Magic. Lebron? Well see for yourself.

Even worse, #23 didn't even apologize for his actions when he was interviewed shortly after. 

But even that kind of poor sportsmanship is shadowed when talking about James latest antics. If you haven't heard by now, I'll spare my fingers the typing and just hyperlink you to the details (click here).  

So why all the fuss? You got dunked on. It happens in basketball all the time.

Ask Xavier Henry, KU's 5-Star freshman who's expected to be one of the top NBA prospects in a year.

Or how about Kendrick Perkins vs. a 5'8 Nate Robinson. We all got to see that too.

Even Lebron's idol, Michael Jordan, the best of ALL TIME, was the victim instead of the assassin at one point.  

So what's the big deal? Listen, Crawford is a Division 1 college basketball player. He was invited to the James camp, so he's got to be relatively good. As he describes it, James just jumped a little late because he didn't catch him coming in time. He attempted the block and came up short. Stuff happens right? It could be worse...

Phillip Rivers recently got schooled in the art of accuracy by a high school QB who isn't even listed in the Rivals.com database-

So wipe up your tears Lebron. Be the person I think you are and call up Nike. Release the tape to the media. In the meantime, call up Crawford and ink a new commercial deal worth lots of money to joke around about "The Dunk". 

Because until then, you're losing ground fast as being "The Chosen Class Act" and we're all witnesses.
