By now, you've surely heard about the college kid, Jordan Crawford, who dunked on LeBron James at the reigning MVP's very own skills academy. The dunk happened in a pickup game, and wasn't really national news until the folks at Nike decided that video of the highlight play would never see the light of day. The great thing about elite athletes is, they will never let each other live something like this down. Dwyane Wade said in a radio interview that Kobe Bryant advised him to keep giving LeBron the business about this, but in the following clip, you can hear Kobe himself joke about it, while speaking to some kids at his basketball camp.

The only way you can get dunked on is if you try defending at the basket. By that point, Kobe has already stepped aside -- so, no, he will never get dunked on. He's a good open-court defender, but once he gets beat, he usually either lets his man go, or if it's a critical situation, he'll wrap him up from behind.
This whole thing with LeBron is such an overblown piece of crap story (and I'm not a LeBron fan). Sometimes getting dunked on simply means you are playing a lot of defense under the hoop. It doesn't mean you are a bad defender. Does anyone remember 6-footer Rajon Rondo slamming it over defensive player-of-the-year Dwight Howard?

it's a pretty lame thing to rip on somebody for, but i guess it's nicer than pointing out the ring that kobe and wade have that lebron doesn't.
