Rich Paul: The 60 Minutes Interview

[1987_Lakers]

[Hey Yo]

I recorded it and watched earlier this week. It was pretty good....

[Street Hunger]

Oh I was meaning to watch this. Worth listening to what he has to say

[Jasper]

he is the appendage of getting rich = you have to take chances.

[WhiteKyrie]

This dude is a clown

This dude is a clown

He would buy throwback jerseys from Atlanta and sell them out of his trunk in Cleveland. In 2002, he met LeBron James at the Akron–Canton Airport, where James was impressed by Paul's authentic Warren Moon throwback jersey.The two exchanged contact information, and soon Paul had sold James a Magic Johnson Lakers jersey and a Joe Namath Rams jersey.

He may be a tad bit arrogant, but you have to be a master hustler to get where he got with no physical sports talent out the hood.

[tpols]

4 billion dollars worth of contracts. That's nuts. And he's a real small dude who came from nothing. You gotta admire that hustle.

He was a piece of shit drug dealer, bro. Disgustingly hypocritical too, because those same drugs wiped out his mom. The interviewer even suggests that subliminally, and isn’t fully addressed for being as disgusting as it was by Rich.

Beyond drug dealing and gambling, on the side was using those finances by buying throwbacks from a distributor down south and selling throwback jerseys and just happened to meet LeBron James, who wanted to buy his product and they became friends.

Industrious? Yes, but also built on unethical means. Selling a product that destroyed the local communities, that LeBron and him claim to care so much about. You know with their Akron school that has the worst education test scores even given all their resources.

Then didn’t go to college, was LeBron‘s “personal advisor” shadowing him in meetings with his agent, stole that information without having to pay for an education.

Then, LeBron, his best friend, probably financed the creation of Klutch sports, and willingly went to be Rich Paul because they are homies.

LeBron, being the biggest, two-faced, socializing deck stacker in the league, convinced his peers to come to Klutch.

If you think Rich Paul made it on his own accord as he says in the interview, earned and not given, etc then you’re delusional.

He was gifted a top three player of all time as his first client. And only so because he was friends with him and LeBron probably own the company by proxy. He had systematically helped along with LeBron destroy the sport.

They address it in this interview, the player empowerment movement, destroying fans interest in teams locally, because their players bounce around so much.

Rich Paul and LeBron think it’s their right to dictate wherever they go. They work for the NBA, not the teams. That’s just the job site. Those teams have the right to trade you. If you have to move, boo hoo, cry into your millions of dollars.

You can’t just go up to your boss at work and demand to work in Miami, tomorrow, just because you don’t wanna work in Des Moines anymore. And convince yourself you’re entitled to that. The problem with the modern Primadonna black athlete, because now even more embolden, because it’s once again, a low-key race issue beneath the surface.

Poor coach.... shook AF

I didn't have all that Intel when posting my original post. Based on that information it seems he isn't a good guy. Just a materialistic opportunistic scumbag. But it's hard to judge others when I haven't been great morally myself.

It's called luck

circumstance

there were going to be a handful of people that were friends with Lebron and came up because of that - that's how it happened - he made friends with Lebron and the rest is history.

that's luck.. what if he decided to do something else that day and didn't meet Lebron?.. Again, it's luck.. It's all luck.. Lucky he came out of the womb and was Rich Paul with the path that he had.. He could've come out of someone else's womb and had a completely different circumstance and path
