LeBron James is overseas on a promotional tour in Asia for Nike. He’s playing in a game, having fun and all the sudden finds himself in the middle of another one of his ”what’s up with that’ moment.

As you’ll see in the video below, this Asian kid dunks on him. Now before you check it out, you’re not going to hear canons sound off, but there are some special effects involving smoke. Just crazy.

We all know James could have blocked the dunk, but do you do that if you’re over there promoting? If anything bothered me, it was how he trying to be cute and got stripped. I’ll chalk it up as having fun, but sometimes, you just got to scratch your head with LeBron and say, well, it is what it is.

Check out LeBron James’ new commercial by Nike.

Notice how he says “I am not a role model.” That’s a left hook aimed squarely at Charles Barkley, who said James can no longer be put in the “Michael Jordan conversation.”

Check out that Witness banner falling? Was that to the city of Cleveland, the Cavaliers or both? Or Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert?

Very interesting. Very.

Nike has this new commercial featuring four NBA players. I recognized one right off the bat – Kevin Durant.

Took me a while to identify Andre Iguodala and Rashard Lewis, but the fourth guy? I’m saying to myself, who is this cat with the jheri curl?

Since the commercial is so long, I finally figured it out.

Mo Williams. Fog Raw? Six fingers? Wow. He’s made the come up since coming to Cleveland during last off season, but that wig has got to go.

Drum roll please.

And now, the world premiere of Xavier guard Jordan Crawford dunking on LeBron James at James’ basketball camp. It starts and repeats on its own so keep the pause button in mind.

It’s been in the news. Been on the talk shows. Now it’s in your living room.

When you watch the play, you’ll see it comes on and inbound play. In James’ defense, Crawford kind of caught him off guard, but Crawford not only dunked on James, but did so with two hands.
