I think that the main point that Albom is trying to make is that it is not about race, but Lebron is only supporting the stereotypes about his race. I Agree with him because Lebron made it seem like he was loyal to Cleveland and he wanted to bring home a championship for them, but then he went and changed his mind and decided to create a super team in Miami.
I think that Albom's most effective point is the quote that he took from Lebron. "I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach" This quote just shows how cocky Lebron James truly is. Instead of saying anything else that would not seem as un-offical as this, Lebron goes and says South Beach. (The Miami Heat don't play in South Beach)
In conclusion, it is not Lebron James's color that is the factor. It is his ego, the boastfulness that he shows by drawing his decision out over a one-hour TV special. Lebron surrounds himself with people that make him think he that nothing can ever be his fault.
