　　“你理解错我们的意思了，我们想看到的结果不是这个。真诚一点!”詹姆斯在Instagram上写到，下面还配了一张和广告一样的照片，但是将图片中男孩的头换成了皇冠，而卫衣上面的文字也用皇冠覆盖住。

　　“Enough about y’all and more of what I see when I look at this photo. I see a Young King!! The ruler of the world, an untouchable Force that can never be denied!” the athlete said.

　　他说：“你们真是够了，知道我从这张照片看到了什么吗?我看了一个年轻的王者!世界的统领者，不可一世的力量，永远都不能被否定!”
