I read this yahoo article today about Lebron getting dunked on by a college ballplayer from Xavier University. It's either the anti-Lebron or the less mature basketball fans who make this a blown up "success" story for a young hoopster. What I mean is hey, this is the game of basketball: you either block a shot or get dunked on. The greatest shot blockers get dunked on. Some to the point of real embarrassment. To name a few: Anfernee Hardaway - Patrick Ewing (#1 on link video); Robert Pack - Shawn Kemp; Kevin Johnson - Hakeem Olajuwon; Kobe Bryant - Dwight Howard; Larry Johnson - Dikembe Mutombo; and so on. Every basketball fan probably has a list of unforgettable facials in mind. Some of you may say, "Yeah right, get dunked on but not by a college kid." Of course a volume of great NBA shotblockers get dunked on by mediocre players. This propaganda of Lebron "gets dunked on" just makes Lebron's star a whole lot "shinier". It's big deal to dunk on a GREAT player. Oh, I remember what a friend posted on a social networking site yesterday: "Success is not determined by a single accomplishment; it's a habit of consistency." Okay, it sucks because I can't remember the exact words. What it means to me is give the guy a hundred attempts to dunk over LeBron and we'll see how many times he scores. And misses.
