By now, you're certainly well aware of the controversy surrounding Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and an old photograph dated back to 1957 showing him pictured amongst a group of students attempting to stop the desegregation of their school; Jones stated that he wasn't part of the protest but was simply there out of curiosity. 

Not to be unexpected, the now *former* fan of the Cowboys in NBA superstar LeBron James had plenty to say about the issue. But now, Jones is responding to James, and is instead taking the high road. 

"First of all, you have to hear me say how much I think of LeBron," Jones told 105.3 The Fan. "I don't know of anybody that I respect more, I don't know of anybody that's taken every opportunity he's had and maximized it. Not only [has he been] a great ambassador for sport, he has taken sports, he has taken his venues, and used those platforms -- I want to be sure that you know where I'm coming from. It made buttons pop off my vest, so to speak, when he would talk about how much of a Cowboy fan he was."

"He would've made a great tight end. That doesn't change. There's nothing about any of that that changes," Jones said.

"Certainly, he has influence, and just because of all of the above. His accomplishments, how he's utilized his sport and how he's utilized his platform. How we have done it. He has enhanced basketball, he's made a lot of people a lot of money. I hope I have too."

Jones certainly knows how to keep it classy in his responses.
