Mitch Albom- Lebron James Article

1.  Albom's point is that racisim is not the reason for the critiscim of the way he handled his free-agency, but Lebron's ego is. The question was raised that racisim was the cause for the way things were handled with his free-agency. When in reality the root of the problem is that Lebron's huge ego played a role in the issue of him becoming unpopular, not because he is black and has black fans and not white fans.
2. I agree with Albom because the ego of someone who is so famous and has so much money can be the cause for unpopularity and problems to arise. They can develop big heads and their egos take over. I do not think that because he is black caused any of the problems that are taking place.
3. Albom's best point is Lebron did not become famous with having all black fans and he did not just as quicly become unpopular with only white people not following him. Albom is saying that Lebron's infamy did  not come from only whites and not blacks and it did not happen because of racism but that the reason that his fame has taken a complete turn around is because of his huge ego that has developed from the popularity.
