>”AR knows how I feel about him,” James told ESPN. “All you got to do is look at us on the bench. Me and AR talk every single day. So, AR knows how I feel about him and I hope AR — or his camp — don’t look at me and think this is words from me are coming through Rich.
>”Rich has his perspective of what he sees, I have my perspective. I’m a grown man, he’s a grown man and I think people should realize that grown men can say whatever the f— they want to say and it shouldn’t reflect somebody else is saying it.”
Personally, I think it’s fucking wild that the player has to run PR for the agent.
Yup grown men can say whatever they want but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t consequences when certain things are said.
Even if the podcast with Kellerman is completely separate from LeBron, the dude is still his _official representative_ in NBA matters (and other endeavors. He’s out here making public NBA statements, doesn’t matter that they’re Rich Paul’s personal opinions that’s not how they’re going to be perceived all the time. It’s not really that hard to understand.
Someone definitely told him something along the lines of “Bron, get your mans”
What did he say about AR?
Yikes. Completely unprofessional to go on a podcast and run his mouth about trades. No one cares about your opinion Rich I promise
this isn’t good. if you’re rich you have to understand that you represent a player that many like to scapegoat. stop giving them material & distractions 🤷🏾♀️
F#*k Rich Paul.
He’s best buddies with lebron and bagged Adele. People have ego tripped over less. every week I’m hoping he doesn’t say anything stupid about the lakers on that podcast and it’s only getting worse
This is the guy who told all his players “$200 million dollars is not a lot of money”.
I really don’t understand how rich thinks this is a good look for him. An agent should never be on a podcast commenting about trades of players he doesn’t even represent
And you know how I feel about you LeBron
That’s crazy if Lebron wants AR gone because AR is his man, just like Caruso is his man, just like AD is his man and he supposedly wants all these people gone? Clearly Lebron doesn’t control all his friends, his family, his team mates that’s bollocks. I watch him–you watch him he’s clearly not the control freak type of guy, he lets you do your own thing sometimes for too much that he doesn’t get his anymore.
I think it’s just this brain drain haters all over the internet that’s spreading this. It gets repeated nonstop because there seems to be this 24/7 Lebron hating business going on in the tubes. Try it type something about LeBron, anything in ytube and all these hating business will pop up and now it sticks to your algorithm Lmao
well Anthony Davis knew how you felt about him too lol
Well this kind of proves all the conspiracy theorists wrong.
You think Rich Paul will say this without the endorsement from LeGM?
I’m so sick of this LeBron show man. I love LeBron, but I genuinely can’t wait until he’s off the team and we can move to the next phase of the Lakers.
Since you’re a “grown man”, LeBron, you should realize that no, grown men can’t actually say whatever they want and there are consequences to things being said. Rich Paul is quite literally your official representative. You hired him specifically to represent you. Own up to this shit man. Jesus.
Lol y’all really actin like Rich ain’t speakin for Bron. He really should run for office, he’s so slick.
I made this point the other day (about Rich being his own man) and got called foolish for believing it. Glad Bron came out and said it.
Bron must be fed up with this mans bullshit.
Then tell pipsqueak to shut his mouth
You guys really think Bron didn’t green light this?
Mfs really think Rich Paul before every shoot is sending Bron the script for the pod and asking for approval.
I believe LeBron. I also believe Rich is advocating for a GM job ala Rob Pelinka as well. Don’t be surprised if he’s running a team within the next 10 years or sooner.
If you’re Rich the last thing you want anyone thinking is you’re LeBron’s puppet. To kill that narrative you have to start talking reckless even if it means making LeBron look bad in the process.
