    The older I get the more I realize the value of being ready for opportunities. Lots of people get opportunities and fumble the ball because they don’t get serious about life until the opportunity arrives.

    Rich Paul always tries to distance his success from Lebron James. He is right. Many people have had a head start, and that's perfectly okay. There is NO WAY Rich would be where he is today without Lebron James. Not even close.
    Another remarkable thing is that Lebron chose the right people with exemplary character to empower. Rich is a high-character individual and a solid guy, But make no mistake, Lebron James' ecosystem is why Klutch is successful and why Rich is where he is today. I'm not downplaying his ability or understanding, but many people have that. The opportunities evade the qualified (especially men of color who are not in sports or entertainment), and Lebron James opened the door for him. I am happy for him, but I wish he would publicly embrace the importance of Lebron being the key. It does not diminish him as he has done well extending the olive branch received from Lebron.

      Without lebron he would likely be working at a fast food chain.
      Lebron opened doors that would otherwise be shut to 99% of people.
      When Lebron retires I think you may see his relevancy diminish.

      I'd also like to this , Imagine if more and more people within the black community participated in such a come up and were able to benefit in a more well rounded manner , their respective neighbourhoods and communities. The J community , once given the foot in the door via media and film were able to make soooooo much of an overall and overhaul of wealth that they could distribute within thier neighbourhoods making connections and diversifying the income streams until it wasn't just through the media or film , that they were able to make significant financial returns.

      I lose respect for them everytime they say that. You have a Jordan who shys away from being called the greatest, out of respect for the players of the past. And you have Lebron and his team campaigning for that status. It’s unfortunate, because it takes away from his aura.

    I disagree with a lot of the comments regarding how Rich would be nothing without Lebron. Every successful business owner, entrepreneur, or CEO has at one point been handed and opportunity. Clearly, Lebron saw something in Rich and the opportunity given was fully exploited. I think Rich would have been successful in some way regardless of being friends with Lebron, just not likely to this level. The reason so many people tie Rich Paul's success to Lebron more than normal is simply due to Lebrons level of fame, and Rich Paul's rise being so public. Not to mention, the fact that he's a black man making waves in a predominantly white industry. People squander opportunity every day. Rich Paul did the opposite.

    Sorry for this but i cant listen to lies. Its against the rules for a player to be a agent because of conflicts of interests. Players these days are trying to manipulate their stats the narratives the media and lebron is the goat in that department. In order to bend/break the rules you make your loyal child hood friend the agent, hes a extension of lebron and lebrons best interests. Thats the true player empowerment. He is probably more off on his own now and turned into a agent over 20 years being the front guy for lebron. I wouldnt say this is a story of success coming from nothing. In reality this is a story of how rules are meant to be broken or people will find ways to break the system.
