NIKE CONFISCATES LEBRON CAMP TAPES



What happens at LeBron's camp stays at LeBron's camp. As you know a minor controversy erupted at the LeBron James Skills Academy on Monday night when two videographers recorded a pickup game in which Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunked on James. A representative with Nike, which runs the camp at the University of Akron in James' hometown, made no mention of Crawford's dunk. He said the tapes were confiscated because videotaping of after-hours pickup games at the camp is not allowed.

Ryan Miller, who videotaped the dunk and had his tape confiscated.
"[Nike Basketball senior director Lynn Merritt] just said, 'We have to take your tape,' " Miller said. "They took it from other guys, too." Miller said he had been filming all day and had his tapes confiscated only after Crawford's dunk over James. "LeBron called Lynn over and told him something," Miller told CBSSports.com. "That's how I knew his name was Lynn. LeBron said, 'Hey, Lynn. Come here.' " Minutes later, Miller said Merritt demanded his tape.
