In Mitch Albom's article, "It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you" he talks about Lebron James' big ego. He takes his skill for granted and thinks that everyone loves him because he is just so great. He was at one time the MVP of basketball, until he broad casted "The Decision" over live television. This clearly lost many of his fans as they saw the real Lebron. And I agree with Albom, Lebron James was indeed very conceited when he made the statement, "I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach." Everyone, not just blacks or just whites, saw how huge his ego was and discontinued cheering for him. Yet Lebron does still shift the blame from his huge ego to racism. But how could it be racism when even those of the same color think you are conceited?
Albom's statement of how "LeBron now has a boundless ego, he has surrounded himself with people who tell him his feet don't touch the ground, and he can't possibly be at fault for anything." is completely true. He needs those kind of people to counteract all the insults he recieves from others since they learned about his huge ego.
