Lebron James & Manager Say Race Played A Factor In Media Backlash Against Him For Decision To Join Miami Heat [Video]

Video After The Jump LeBron James' manager, Maverick Carter, said that he believes race played a factor in how James' decision to join the Miami Heat was covered by the media. In an interview with CNN on Wednesday night, Carter said race "definitely played a role in some of the stuff coming out of the media" during coverage leading up to and after "The Decision," a heavily-criticized ESPN special in which James announced his free-agent choice. James had little to add Thursday after practice. "I think people are looking too far into it," James said. "But at the same time, sometimes it does play a part in it. I've said what I had to say, and I'll continue to move on." Through a representative, Carter declined comment Thursday. "I don't walk in LeBron's shoes," Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said. "From our standpoint, we've moved on from the summer." Source: L.A. Times twitter-5d.gif
