Finally, here is much talked about video of Xavier basketball player Jordan Crawford managing to dunk the ball on NBA Superstar LeBron James. The dunk is played in slow-motion at the end of the video. . . . . (Watch Video)

No matter how good you are on defense, you’e going to be caught leaning the wrong way once in a while. The slam dunk just reduces the time you have to recover and is a smart offensive play.
They showed it on Foxnews at lunch - odd thing is, the guy they say is LeBron is wearing the same color uniform as the dunker. But he is definitely jumping up to defend against the slam.
Go Xavier!
BFD
“But he is definitely jumping up to defend against the slam.”
He was playing help defense; that was not his man.
Well, LBJ TRIED to defend against it but got out-jumped by the Xavier dude. It’s as grainy as the Erin Andrews video and couldn’t help laugh at the TMZ arrows.
Thus, I pronounce him a doosh.
Lebron is a classless athlete. He couldn’t even shake the hands of any ORLANDO MAGIC player after they booted the Cavs from the NBA Eastern Finals.
Frankly I don’t see what all the drama is about, he got beat.. so what, it happens. Are we supposed to believe LeBron is not human?
I can’t remotely dunk, but I play often against players with far more natural talent and ability than I have, and are far younger to boot, and every so often I beat them on a play.
Why this was “covered up” is just unfathonable and laughable, as though a player getting beat by another player somehow is unfathonable. LeBron got caught flatfooted too deep, he had no chance of stopping that play. And in the end SO WHAT?
LBJ was beat before he even adjusted, look where he is, he’s flatfooted and too deep.. He had no chance of stopping that dunk.. and I say SO WHAT? Why was there an attempt to hide this? It happens.. its not like the kid came straight at him jumped and dunked right over the top of him.
He truly wasn’t in position to stop the drive, was too deep under the basket and to the left (from the camera view), the offender went straight to the hoop, and did a 2 handed dunk, LeBron tried to get a hand up, but as I said, he was out of position and too deep, his hand couldn’t have stopped it.
I truly don’t understand why anyone tried to “hide” this.. it doesn’t look like a big deal to me, a defender got caught out of position and flatfooted, and the offensive player took advantage.. it happens.
Well it wasn’t really Lebron’s man. He just came over to help, but a dunk is a dunk.
