It’s not every day a college player is invited to the prestigious LeBron James Skills Academy and lays down a dunk on King James himself.



That’s exactly what Xavier’s Jordan Crawford did Monday in Akron, creating an Internet buzz in the process. Crawford jammed a two-handed dunk over the Cleveland Cavaliers forward in a pick-up game at the University of Akron’s James A. Rhodes Arena.

“I went around somebody else and he was under the rim waiting for me,” said Crawford, a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard.

And what did James do after the dunk?


“I don’t think he said anything. I really didn’t do anything either, just went back on defense. I really didn’t realize what I did until later on when everyone was talking about it,” Crawford said.


Looks like he won’t have a chance to review the slam, though, since Nike officials reportedly confiscated tapes from media on site. CBSSports.com columnist Gary Parrish wrote that there were at least two cameras shooting the pick-up game and Nike reps allegedly secured the tapes.


According to Fox Sports' Jeff Goodman, Nike said it would issue a statement later on Wednesday.


Crawford was invited to the LeBron camp after excelling at the Deron Williams Skills Academy in late June in Dallas. The former Indiana player said the LeBron camp was “the best camp” he ever attended and that he learned a lot from their drills.


As for the dunk – well, he’s just glad people are talking about it.


“More than anything I just hope that it gave me exposure and showed people other parts of my game,” Crawford said.
