dunk was alright.... im a big lebron hater.... don't see what the huge deal of confiscating this was... regardless who said to do it... it just brought on some more negative press to an already dissappointing season.

i dont think anyone would've seen this anyways; hype was because of confiscation...

i will admit that LBJ is a beast on the court. Unique skill set and size. I give him credit for improving his game; however, I can't stand his antics and arrogance. he's got a long NBA career ahead of him and will eventually win championships; i hope he understand how many kids look up to him and try to be him. IMO, stay humble and act like a positive role model instead of a pompas ass.

that was wack, too much publicity to make it out like it was something unreal, i am sure it was just as awesome in real life than at that angle, but either way, i can care less if bron got dunked on or not...that man is still a beast.

I don't think LeBron cares..

I know as a Cavs fan, I really don't care what outsiders think of LeBron...Just be glad he's not on your team..

And im no LeBron hater it is his character im questioning... That is the difference between him and Kobe now all of LeBron's skeletons are coming out of the closet... Now he is starting to feel a little of what Kobe felt... Kobe made a bad decision trying to sleep with that ugly a** white girl... Nevertheless lots of people was waiting for LeBron to make a mistake and I wasnt one of those guys because (as an African American) the African American athlete gets more criticism that a European, white or hispanic athlete... Its the truth at the end it still has to deal with race and no matter what baseball does it is seen in a better light in basketball because it is mostly Blacks and Europeans... Baseball is obviously white and hispanic and people seem to condone cheating... Thats some bs and I know that yall gotta look at that no matter what team you root for.. I could care less you call me a troll but at the end of the day, race is still a major issue in sports because Im sorry to say this lots of white people dont like blackathletes with no education making all that money... Im saying how i feel and yall can criticize me but race is still a major issue in sports

if your bringing up race and stuff why point out that its a white girl. we all know its a white girl but shes just a girl. why not say he slept with a girl in colorado you dont need to point out skin color thats racist if you ask me. i hate it when black people call white people "white boy" or "white girl". if you wanna stop racism stop pointing out skin color and realize we are all just people.

True that I shouldnt of said the color of her skin but i am not racist... Im a realist... But white people do the same thing nevertheless two wrongs dont make a right and lets work on a better America.. But wait didnt Don Imus call the Rutgers womens basketball team "Nappy Headed Hoes".. I said nothing to that extent... Thats not a racist comment... I was emphasizing the fact of cheating on his wife and nevertheless the color of ones skin it is wrong... Thats all.. Yall wanna find something wrong everytime I post... First troll now racist... What next im a cold blooded killer? (Being sarcastic)...

Spadez23, you are kind of going with subjects like race that are better left to the off topics forum and many poster's don't consider it appropriate in their home team's forum. Please use a green font when you are being sarcastic and that will avoid a lot of confusion.

That was a weak ass dunk. Plus LBJ got there late as a post help defender anyway. Not worth the hype what so ever.

And your opinion strongly determines how good of a player LeBron is. Nice.

Which white people? Is it all of "them", or just the blue eyed blonde haired white people. You are a joke, and the sad part is you dont even have a clue what a racist is. You need to get over the stereotypes that have obviously been ingrained into you by whoever it is you look up to or follow. If I would think it would be more offensive to a hard working black man or woman to see an "uneducated black man making all that money" making a fool of himself and giving the black youth a poor example. But, I am just some white guy who wouldnt understand I guess. And btw, I cant stand the cheaters in baseball. They can all go f^*k themselves, no matter their race. If you want a better America, start with yourself, after all why would you expect other people not to stereotype you based on your skin color when you do the exact same thing.

I was totally disappointed with the dunk, LOL. I was expecting something more like an over the body dunk, something like what T-Mac did with Shawn Bradley LOLLLL...

Well this is nothing for Nike and Lebron to cover up really, they don't need to be so protective of his image. he's been dunked on worse.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

That's maybe because they weren't trying to cover it up...
