Just when it all died down a bit, global-gossip site TMZ claim they have footage from a mobile phone of LeBron James being dunked on by College basketballer Jordan Crawford.
If the pic they put up in the above-linked article is anything to go on, it's crappy quality... but perhaps it's mere existence might be enough to get the draconian forces of evil (read "Nike") to release the tapes they confiscated.
Nike have got to be pissed. Same with LBJ - even more so. The thing is, stuff like this happens. He had the opportunity to just take it with good grace, show some humility, and move on. Like Michael Jordan did with John Rogers.
Hell, truth be told it would have given him some more humanity after the damage he did to his *legacy* with the tantrum post losing to Orlando in the Eastern Conference Finals.
But not to be, and now we have what really amounts to a storm in a teacup.
Oh well, I guess we'll all be tuning into TMZ later today to check it out.
