NBA Twitter goes bizarre as Stephen A. Smith sides LeBron James, blast the media for….
The Washington Post ran a story identifying a young Jerry Jones in a troubling Sept. 9, 1957 photograph in North Little Rock High School in Arkansas. The picture showed the present day Cowboys owner observing white teens blocking black youth from entering the school.
The story received media coverage, but LeBron James was astounded when no one in the press room asked him about the story.
Now, popular ESPN Stephen A. Smith has applauded James for his stance and sided wholeheartedly with the Lakers star: “I can’t applaud LeBron enough for what he said. I 1,000 percent agree with LeBron James because that wasn’t about Jerry Jones, if you’re listening.”

Donald Trump says something, the media ask LeBron about it. LeBron James has been subjected to question after question after question, but suddenly when it came to Jerry Jones, you didn’t ask? Because I assure you, if I was in that press room, I would have asked LeBron about it.”

Smith specifies what LeBron was calling out exactly: “The fact that he wasn’t asked that question, and he had waited, and he had to bring up the subject to the media in the year 2022 gives credence and buffers the argument that Kyrie Irving was making when Kyrie said, ‘Where’s the intensity when our peoples going through stuff?… That’s what LeBron was calling out.”
