Essentially what has happened here is that a picture has been taken that can be viewed different ways from different perspectives. The resemblance between this photo and a photo of King Kong and his captive is obvious, but it doesn't make it an intentional jab at Lebron or African Americans.
However, this does not mean that we simply act like we don't see King Kong in this photo, we do, and thats okay. Basketball players often refer to each other as beasts or monsters in the game. If King Kong hadn't been a monkey then this wouldn't even be an issue. Nevertheless, two thing can be seen here, both should be recognized and accepted, but no malice should be taken from it
