The article is about race, they are saying that since he is black that is tha reason he left Cleveland. Also why his popularity dropped because of his ego.
Abloms point of the article is that it is not the race factor in his case. The reason he lost so many fans was because of his ego and the need for more money. His fans used to treat him like he was the best basketball player that ever lived and that he had no faults. That he was so into himself that he will not be able to get rid of the ego he created.
I agree with Ablom because race is not playing any part of why he lost some many fans when he switched from Cleveland to Miami. He was hiding it from everyone and not giving direct answers. He was using his power over his fans to get the attention and money he wanted. His ego is out of control and he needs to learn how to control it and he may get some of his old fans back. “He made up a TV-special that was world wide and made it look like it was for charity but her actually did that to praise himself.” I agree with that quote his ego is so big he made up a tv special just so he could show everyone that he is a basketball legend.
Abloms most effective point would be his lesson in popularity part when he changes that names to get the point across. He uses that story to show people that it was his ego that caused him to lose so many fans and have so much criticism from the press. Ablom shows us that people slowly lost their liking of him because of his ego not because of his team switch or because he is black. He caused his popularity drop because of his ego.
