'I was wondering why I haven't gotten a question from you guys about the Jerry Jones photo,' LeBron James said at a postgame press conference this week. 'But when the Kyrie (Irving) thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that.'
Jones has said that he was just a bystander in the photo and didn't participate in trying to deny Black students entry into the school.
James said he doesn't like how when Black athletes do something wrong, it's on"every single tabloid, every single news coverage, it's on the bottom ticker. It's asked about every single day." James continued: "But it seems like to me that the whole Jerry Jones situation, photo — and I know it was years and years ago and we all make mistakes, I get it — but it seems like it's just been buried under, like, 'Oh, it happened. OK, we just move on.' And I was just kind of disappointed that I haven't received that question from you guys."
