From Yahoo Sports

In an exclusive interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Sports Taskforce — who, fortunately for us, includes Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Marc J. Spears — LeBron James(notes) spoke candidly for the first time about getting dunked on at his Nike skills camp over the summer, the handshake snub hullabaloo following the Cavaliers loss in the Eastern Conference finals, Shaquille and more.

Here are some quotes straight from LeBron’s mouth to Spears’ notebook to your computer screen.

LeBron on “Dunkgate”:

“I never told anyone to confiscate any tapes. Nike has a no videotape policy at pick-up games. They’ve always done that. Now that LeBron is involved, it’s blown up. It’s a play that happens in basketball all the time. You can go on YouTube and see me being dunked on by a lot of guys. I like to call myself a shot blocker and [getting dunked on] tends to happen. Jordan Crawford is going to be a good basketball player.”

    I think the media has a love/ hate relationship with The King and I cant explain why…on one hand they love him more than Kobe but they hate on him because he hasnt done any negative crap like 99% of other black athletes…its almost like they’re waiting on him to fail. So what if he got dunked on. It happens I’m sure everyone from Magic to Jordan to Bird has been dunked on at least once in their career…So please leave Lebron alone. Its a shame that they want to bring down one of our few (positive) black male role models in sports today.

    i don’t think its a big deal the man got dunked on, i mean who hasn’t? in the end of the day he is still human and has faults, that day just was one of them days someone better than you stepped up and did something that just hasn’t been done to you yet. its bound to happen, the man plays basketball and its just a sport many people are good at, hes not the best in the game and their is always going to be someone better.

    Anybody that cares about this only watches basketball and does not play it….If you play defense your going to get dunked on at some point

    Why does it matter?

    what made it a big deal is that he tried to hide it…weve all been dunked on…if he gets dunked on and nothing happens after the game…theres no story…you hear about it maybe because of who it was, but theres no story, it wouldhave went away in a day or two…
    combine him being a sore loser after the magic series, with nike running over and confiscatiing the tapes from more then one person, lebron NEVER comments about it until this yahoo interview what, a month afer the fact? and theres your story
    the media didnt make this story…if he came out that day and said that he got dunked on and that it happens to everyone…it happened to me today, it was a good play…no story

    the woman in the photo is his momma and it goes to show why teens should’nt have sex,he told the woman he grew up with to sit her ghetto ass down.you should see her in an interview,thats some strange shyt.as far him getting dunked on im glad he didnt come along when doctor j.was in his prime.the objective of everyone coming out of any school is to take his punk ass to the hole and drop him into some funk(as daryl dawkens said).and now that hes shown he has no guts for gettin puished around like a little b***h its a price on his head each time he steps on the floor,his momma had him at 14 but im sure it seems like 50 by now,clown ass b***h.SIT UR GHETTO ASS DOWN!!!!

    uhmmm…lebron is not better then kobe…the title rings speak for themselves…kobe has four
    lebron ill be lucky if he ends his career with 2
    of course jordan is the greatest of all time…but lebron has a LONG way to go to even catch kobe…kobe dismantled the magic team lebron couldnt even compete with…he has a lot to learn about sportsmanship and getting his team involved…lebron also has serious ego issues (something kobe had to deal with and overcome before becoming a “great player”)
