Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is used to reporters asking him questions, but on Wednesday, the 4-time NBA champion wanted to ask them something.
During a postgame press conference, James pointed out that he's received questions about former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Kyrie Irving tweeting a link to an antisemitic film. But not once had he been asked about a resurfaced photo from 1957 that showed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones standing with a crowd outside of North Little Rock High School in Arkansas while the school was integrating, NBC Sports and ESPN reported.
Irving, who now plays for the Brooklyn Nets, was suspended on Nov. 3 for sharing the link and for failing to make clear that he holds no antisemitic beliefs, NBC Sports reported. James later condemned Irving, and was initially asked why NBA players didn't comment on Irving’s post, ESPN and The Washington Post reported.
The black-and-white Associated Press photo of then-14-year-old Jones standing in the 1957 Arkansas desegregation protest, which was unearthed by The Washington Post when it published it on Nov. 23 alongside an article about the lack of diversity in the NFL coaching ranks. "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."
