After the Lakers' win on Wednesday night, James criticized the media for not asking about the racial controversy surrounding Jerry Jones, while wondering why they were so quick to ask about the Irving drama.

The NBA star reprimanded himself after the reporters had finished questioning him about L.A.'s win.

If you think I don't know how monumental those days were, it's a misinterpretation for me.

James stopped liking the Cowboys because of Jones' stance on kneeling during the anthem.
