The world came to an end today when LeBron James got dunked on by Xavier’s Jordan Crawford during a meaningless pick-up game at the LeBron James Skills Academy.
You might notice that no tapes of the incident have surfaced because allegedly tapes from two cameramen were confiscated so that the incident wouldn’t go viral on YouTube.
How about a little perspective? LeBron James gets dunked on plenty of times during the course of a season. So what if it was a college kid.
But if James did have the tapes confiscated for that reason, he shouldn’t have even cared that much. Crawford would have gotten his 15 minutes. James would have been kidded about it, done deal.
What’s lacking? Perspective.
Because when it comes right down to it, the dunk didn’t win a game or an NBA champioship game.
Amazing what becomes ridiculously interesting during the summer when little, if anything, is going on in the sports world.

Hi George – thanks for some more positive per perspective. And as you may have just read on Brian Windhorst’s online column – the “other” side to the story
does take a whole lot of the intrigue and Lebron smashing stuff “Balls Don’t Lie”
and other on-line viral juice inciters.
Take care and keep up the good reporting!
