zen Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 If you read between the lines, what the article is really saying is"please please please... make a big deal out of this issue for us because we are pissed that we got our wittle tape stolezed from us and and since we can't use it to embarrass Lebron with it we are going to try to embarass him without it so we need your help" Quote
MDZip Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 This is getting a little ugly. I think it would have been better just to allow the tape to have been released. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Dumb move by Nike.On the bright side, every time another article come out, UA gets another mention. Quote
WinZip Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 ESPN doing what they do best...lol even he looks sick of the story Quote
bandzip Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 The interviewer is just trying to get the kid to say he's ticked about it and wants the tape. He must've asked him about 8 times, "Aren't you mad? Wouldn't you like the tape to be on youtube?" Quote

Wouldn't you like the tape to be on youtube?"Yes... as I said, the media just wants the video so they can use it against LeBron.Most of them probably have nothing against LeBron. They just want to create a moment of infamy because that is what sensationalism is all about.Since they are denied that video, they are going to ride this whole things hard as a "controversy".LeBron/Nike are smart to withhold the video. You can tell just how infamous the video would be just by the way the media is acting.So, Lebron/Nike are going to have to swallow the less bitter of two pills. Quote
Sergeant Zip Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 They just want to create a moment of infamy because that is what sensationalism is all about.Agreed, media isn't as informative as it is sensational and divisive. Quote
tbozeglav Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 i dont see what the big deal is here... lebron got dunked on by a college kid in a pick-up game. big freaking deal. Props for the kid for being good enough to take LeBron on. To be able to get ONE dunk on him? thats pretty damn good. LeBron is still one of, if not THE best in the game right now and there's no refuting it.This is just the media being sensationalistic Quote
ZZZips Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 It was another exciting week of basketball in NE Ohio. Plenty of star power and controversy (ie: Lebron dunk tape). See link below if you missed the action. This is the best blog I have found on the events at the JAR and Wolstein Center. Nice mention of Dru III and Rome. A really funny note on LJ Jr. Nice to see Craig Ehlo involved again this year.http://www.slamonline.com/online/college-h...g-city-classic/ Quote
PB1719 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 I've been dunked on, nobody made a big deal about that.... Quote

It's like me getting a birdie an a par 3 and Tiger getting par. The guy would still shoot 1/2 my score after 9 holes..... Quote
WinZip Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 If only there was a huge, University of Akron sign hanging somewhere this would have been some killer advertising! Look how many views this video has lol. http://ebaumnation.com/2009/07/22/jordan-c...on-lebron-jamesViews: 2807183 :blink: Quote
Zipsrifle Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks for the link. Finally got to see it and that was so amazingly overhyped! Nowhere near as bad as they made it out to be. LBJ wasn't even in the picture until he started to jump. Quote
