Nike To Return LeBron Dunk Tapes


Recommended Posts

Nike says that it is returning videotapes of LeBron James getting dunked on at a recent basketball camp to a pair of journalists.

 

The company confiscated the tapes from two journalists that filmed Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunking over James during a pickup game at the University of Akron recently.

 

Nike said it took the tapes because under media guidelines, pickup games are not supposed to be filmed. They defended accusations that they took the film because of LeBron's involvement.

 

"It was never about the play or the player, it was always about our media policy," Nike said in a statement. "The interest in the tapes has greatly overshadowed the focus of the camp, which is to help young athletes improve their skills, and that is regrettable. It was Nike's decision to take these tapes based on our media guidelines, which we will continue to enforce."
