LeBron James 'disappointed' as media asked him about Kyrie Irving but not Jerry Jones' controversial pic
DALLAS, TEXAS: NBA star LeBron James recently asked reporters why they failed to ask him about a controversial photo featuring Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The Washington Post recently unearthed an image from 1957 in which a teenaged Jones is seen in the crowd while a mob of White boys blocks six Black students from entering Arkansas’ North Little Rock High. It was snapped at a time when schools had started to desegregate in the United States. Jones said that he was an observer during the incident and was unaware of what was going on.
“I got one question for you guys before you guys leave. I was thinking when I was on my way over here, I was wondering why I haven’t gotten a question from you guys about the Jerry Jones photo,” James said to reporters, according to the Guardian, after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Portland Trail Blazers. “But when the Kyrie [Irving] thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that.”
