Debunking the LeBron dunk

May 13th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

Look, do not get me wrong: I freakin’ love LeBron James. So when I heard he threw down some sick dunk over Kevin Garnett to ice last night’s game and tie up the series at 2-2, I jetted over to AA to watch the video. I peeped it and was … not so impressed.

First: He didn’t dunk over Garnett; KG didn’t go up to challenge him at all. He simply let him do his thing. (Although, he did foul him with a bit of a shove.) Second: LBJ has done better. Third: I can’t think of a third.

This is not to say it wasn’t good, it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. Too much pre-hype that didn’t deliver. (Unlike the new Death Cab album. This puppy has delivered. Even Pitchfork was somewhat favorable!)

And now that you all know how I feel about a basketball player and his dunk from last night, I’m going to go eat some food.
