I agree the video, even with the negative publicity proved to be a good move w/Nike. The video just proves Lebron lacks DEFENSE!

I agree the video, even with the negative publicity proved to be a good move w/Nike.

Crawford was charging down the lane uncontested. I'm surprised Lebron even made an attempt, considering it's a pick up game. Perhaps Nike knew there were other tapes and realized they could get an extra month of Lebron talk during the summertime if they created the "mystery video". The winner in all this is Jordan Crawford, who has gotten a ton of exposure for 2 points in an exhibition game.
