LeBron James relying on controversial 1957 image of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is dividing the internet. On the one hand, there are people like Kendrick Perkins and Shannon Sharpe who voice their support and admiration for James’ position on the issue. On the other hand, and almost necessarily, are those who express a point of view completely opposed to the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers touching the subject.
Let’s first take a look at some of the people who support the Lakers.
WOW!!! Bron just asked the media why didn’t they ask him about the Jerry Jones photo like they asked him about Kyrie’s comments. It’s about to REALLY take off. Man I wish we did @undisputed tomorrow. DAMN

For anyone who says it doesn’t make sense for the media to ask LeBron about it, keep in mind he grew up a Cowboys fan and recently said he no longer supports the Cowboys because of Jerry Jones’ response to Colin Kaepernick’s protest. . LeBron is there. https://t.co/t8rEEMfgc7

A friend once told me… don’t make the man the mountain.
It’s easy to make this conversation about Lebron and Jerry Jones. But the conversation is actually how the media presents black missteps more harshly than whites.

And then here we have the other side, who thinks the Lakers star is a hypocrite for rhetorically questioning the media’s lack of questions regarding the Jerry Jones photo fiasco while keeping quiet about other socio-political issues.
LeBron was asked about ongoing human rights abuses in China and Kyrie’s also current situation, and he’s now upset that the media isn’t focusing on what Jerry Jones did 55 years ago. , when he was 14 years old.

This photo of Jerry Jones has been deliberately misinterpreted by anyone who has not read this WaPo article. And it’s incredibly disappointing and disheartening to see LeBron make a lazy thing out of it with Kyrie.

LeBron James targeted Jerry Jones because he was photographed near racial conflict as a youngster 65 years ago.
Why @King James defend China, but try to undo Jones for being in the background of a disturbance in 1957?
Cowardly and pathetic. https://t.co/8KLq1Hr1lnpic.twitter.com/4qt30t4qpO

We can recall that LeBron James once said that Daryl Morey “wasn’t uneducated” when the former Houston Rockets general manager posted a tweet in favor of Hong Kong which led to some deterioration in relations between the NBA and China – a huge market for the league.
In any case, LeBron James is no stranger when it comes to being a divisive figure because of his opinions. It’s been quite a transformation for the Lakers forward, who entered the NBA in 2003 as an 18-year-old boy considered by many to be Michael Jordan’s next comer, but is probably closer to a legend. like Bill Russell when weighed with all over- judicial and extra-judicial factors.
LeBron James will never hesitate to speak his mind. You can always expect that from the Lakers leader.
