From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

No dunk, here:

Last summer the buzz coming out of the LeBron James camp at Akron was the dunk by Xavier's Jordan Crawford during a pick-up game between college campers, James and others. In Monday's opening evening James showed up for a light workout again, but this time, there were no dunks by anyone James was guarding, or anyone guarding James.

In fact, twice when James settled in the mid-post -- a rare happening -- he blew his own whistle against 6-7 Chris Wright from the University of Dayton. Wright, laughing, said it was no big deal.

"It's his camp, he can call "em like he wants," Wright said. "I've known him for a couple of years, and some of his teammates in high school, Romeo Travis. It was fun. I think he just wanted us to keep playing defense. I know I didn't foul him. He's too strong to feel a foul. You can't stop him. If he gets one or two buckets, that's shutting him down, to me. He got me for three, so I was one bucket away from shutting him down."

Just like winning the NIT must be as good as losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
