Crawford/James Gate is Much A Do About Nothing

This whole controversy about NBA star LeBron James and Xavier University Sophomore Guard Jordan Crawford is simply ridiculous and, as Shakespeare would say, much a do about nothing.

Crawford is transferring to Xavier from Indiana, where as a Freshman, he played in 30 games, started 8 times, and finished 7th in the Big Ten in scoring among Freshman. As everyone knows by now, Crawford dunked on LeBron James while at the Nike LeBron James Skills Academy in Akron, OH this week. Crawford was a counselor at the academy featured the nation's best high school players and was designed to instill fundamentals into the next generation of top players.

Either LeBron himself, Nike, or both were so embarrassed that the face of the NBA and one of Nike's top marketing celebrities was given a facial by a college sophomore. According to reports, James asked for the tape because he was embarrassed or Nike wanted the tape for the same reason.

Get over it, LeBron!! You're human. You're King James, not King Jesus. You're not infallible! Jordan Crawford is going to be an NBA guard in a few years anyway, so you two will both be in the same league. As for Nike, your superstar marketing tool is not a god. He's not the only great athlete out there. Will everyone just grow up. As for Crawford, great job, buddy! You were not intimidated by so called stardom. You may be one yourself one day. You certainly have the talent, but for now, help Xavier get to a Final Four or two. After that, you can dunk on King James FOR REAL!!
