CP-3 Adds Fuel To The Fire Of Slam-Dunk-Gate!

Posted by Matt Loede under NBA Rumors 

The story that goes away has just gotten a bit more interesting – that is if you believe what Hornets point guard Chris Paul has to say. The story alluded to is that of the disappearing dunk that Xavier sophomore Jordan Crawford had on Cavaliers MVP LeBron James at the King’s recent Nike Skills Academy.

Seems that Paul, while waiting to take the court in Miami at the American Airlines Arena for Alonzo Mourning’s “Zo’s Summer Groove all-star basketball game,” claimed that he also has a story about a tape that was taken of he dunking on James.

“I dunked on him two or three days ago and he did the same thing to me,” Paul told the Palm Beach Post. “He took that footage too. It’s ludicrous, man.”

Hmmm…so basically Paul is accusing LeBron of having a phobia of having people see players (or anyone it sounds like for that matter) dunk on him?

“Everybody gets dunked on,” Nuggets Carmelo Anthony said. “I got dunked on before. I’m sure D-Wade (Dwayne Wade) got dunked on. It happens.”

James has been silent on “dunk gate,” and was supposed to take part in the game down in Miami, but pulled out, telling co-host Wade that he had to take care of some family matters. Any way you look at it, something here stinks.

“You just need something to talk about, so you got something,” Mourning said. “It’s big news. Anything that LeBron is involved with – he’s the poster child in this league, so it’s big news.”

Big news or not, it’s news, and if it involves LeBron it’s going to be talked about.
