NBA superstar LeBron James had a very daunting question for the media recently. After a controversial photo of the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones from 1957 resurfaced, James wondered why he was not asked about it. He stated that when the issue surrounding Kyrie Irving blew up he was pestered about it constantly. But he could not fathom why there were no questions about Jones’ photo.

He also added that he was disappointed with the media. Now, superstar James Harden’s friend and popular rapper Meek Mill has sided with the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.

Meek Mill took to Twitter to show his support for James. He wrote, “can?t turn us on us that easyyyyyy?. I?m happy Lebron caught on to the propaganda vibes!”

The millionaire rapper is a very close friend of Harden. The two have been seen together on multiple occasions. When Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, Meek Mill celebrated and showed his excitement with a tweet of his own.

LeBron James questioned reporters

As per reports, the photo from 1957 that was recently uncovered showed a young Jerry Jones in the crowd as a group of white boys blocked six black pupils from entering North Little Rock High in Arkansas. When the picture was shot, desegregation in schools had just begun. Jones claims he was only a bystander and had no idea what was happening during the encounter.

LeBron James could not believe that he was not asked about the whole ordeal around the resurfaced photo of Jones.

?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. ?But when the Kyrie [Irving] thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that.?

While noting it was decades ago and admitting everyone makes mistakes, he stated that it seems like the whole situation is “buried under.” Interestingly, James was a huge fan of the Cowboys when he was growing up. However, he recently revealed he is no more a fan of the franchise. This was after Jones claimed he would bench the players who knelt during the national anthem in 2017.

James’ former Cavs teammate Kyrie Irving was suspended after his supposedly antisemitic tweet. When James was asked about it, he condemned antisemitism. Following the suspension, Irving has come back and is trying to help the Nets.
