Like every other basketball fan out there, LeBron James has been diligently watching NBA free agency. In just the first day, we saw players secure millions of dollars and NBA super-agent Rich Paul was actually involved in many of them.
Over the span of a few hours, Rich worked his magic to secure deals across the league and LeBron couldn’t help but recognize the success his long-time friend is having as the top NBA rep in the business.
“And y’all still wanna question is Rich Paul is the H.I.M. It says a lot about you if you not feeling us. I told him less is more it’s plenty of us.”

Between Draymond Green, Jerami Grant, and Fred VanVleet (who all earned massive contracts), Rich has secured over $390 million for his players in the first hours of free agency. That’s obviously ridiculous and it further validates Klutch Sports Group as the top agency in the NBA.
Rich Paul And LeBron Are Best Friends
LeBron isn’t just a random fan of Rich Paul. The two essentially started their careers together and have both come to dominate the field. For LeBron, it means being the best player in the world, and for Paul, it means running Klutch Sports Group and helping athletes secure millions.
Today, while Rich Paul isn’t nearly as rich or popular as King James, his worth is estimated to be roughly $100 million
“Paul is a close friend of James, but his rise to the top did not happen overnight,” wrote the International Business Times. “The Cleveland native earned his ᵴtriƥes under Leon Rose, the former agent of James. When “The King” left Rose in 2012, he joined his friend’s new agency, Klutch Sports Group. The partnership would eventually grow into something bigger than anyone would have expected. In 2019, Paul was ranked 19th on Forbes’ list of highest-earning sports agents in the world. He earned $32.6 million in commissions from deals he negotiated.”
There were many winners in the NBA today, but perhaps none bigger than Klutch Sports. Once again, they have proven to be the best of the best and Rich Paul is the guy behind the whole thing.
