Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James took to Twitter on Friday night to call out all the Rich Paul haters after the agent managed to secure around $400 million in just three NBA free agent contract.
James, 38, is a longtime friend of Paul, and many critics of the agent have long said that he is only successful because of his relationship with the face of the NBA.
King James challenged that notion by tweeting out that some people still doubt Paul despite his countless victories. He’s also engaged to singer Adele.
“And y’all still wanna question if Rich Paul is the HIM,” James wrote. “It says a lot about you if you’re not feeling us. I told him less is more, it’s plenty of us.”
James also shared a meme clip of a man laughing as he slowly walked back into his car, with the tweet saying that’s Paul after the first day of free agency.
Rich Paul clients are happy
Draymond Green and Fred VanVleet are two of Paul’s clients who received massive contracts in free agency. Potland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant landed a five-year, $160 million extension with the help of the star agent.
Paul, 41, is the founder of Klutch Sports Group and represents many of the league’s top talents, including James, Anthony Davis and Aaron Gordon.
Green, 33, will stay in San Francisco after agreeing to a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Warriors.
VanVleet, 29, agreed to a three-year, $130 million with the Houston Rockets after playing eight seasons for the Toronto Raptors.
