It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you

Mitch Albom Article    Mitch Albom wrote this article to show that reporters should not ask the question about race playing an important role in a decision. LeBron James did not have an hour show to decide what team he would play on because of his race. I agree with Albom, it was because of his big ego. James' race had nothing to do with people disliking him, but about his decision to go to Miami and stack the team. Cleveland, his former team, and the fans there dislike him because he wanted to 'take his talents to South Beach'. Mitch Albom's effective point here shows his major ego. Ego does not care what color skin you have. Therefore race was not a contributing factor in his decision or the hate that James received thereafter. James received that hate from the people from being full of himself and making choosing a team a big ordeal. Changing James' name in the article shows that Albom is not trying to talk bad about James, but to prove his point that race is not important in this situation or any decision like LeBron James'.
