Nike Still Owes Jordan Crawford Money For His Legendary Dunk On LeBron James
Jordan Crawford has been in and out of the NBA for the better part of the past 9 years. While he’s always shown flashes of greatness in his offensive game, his productivity, defense and shot selection have always made him somewhat of a liability.
Crawford’s most memorable moment though, wasn’t when he was playing in the NBA, but came during a pickup game at the 2009 LeBron James Skills Academy in Ohio.
According to Crawford, Nike organizers said that they will pay every player to dunk on LeBron James $500.
Well guess what happened?! Crawford dunked on LeBron James.
By the way, he’s still waiting on that check from Nike. Per Uproxx:
He remembers Nike reps joking with the college players before the game about a $500 bounty for anyone who could manage to dunk on the camp’s namesake.
Crawford laughs as he delivers the punchline: “They never gave me my $500.”
