      This mfer Rich is a grifting AZZ loser. His whole life is Lebron, he’s blinded by lebron.
      He has ZERO critical things to say bout Lebron, that tells me he’s a total bser.
      He talking propaganda?!?! Nikka Lebron pushes more propaganda than any athlete I’ve ever seen in American history.
      “That’s when I knew i was the goat”
      This is the SAME MFER balding at a young age because of PED use.
      Get real bunch a F’ing grifters

      It's not like they got into technical and legal stuff. It was basically barbershop conversation. Lebron surrounded Rich with lawyers and advisers and they're probably on RP's speed dial to call for technical support. Had he sat down with guys like David Falk, an actual lawyer, the guy who pioneered the modern day NBA contract structuring, marketing and money management, to pick his brain, Rich probably would get a nose bleed and stop the interview everytime he gets asked a technical questions and call his advisers for additional info.

      I didn’t think it was sincerity. It was impressive that he was able to express his thoughts clearly but I felt he was being a yes man and in awe of Rich. There was many “mm hmm” and “exactly”. He was less inquisitive and just like happy to be here and able to say he has a relationship with the guy. But that fits the description they gave him on the P Bev episode. He’s not a follower but he does just wanna be down. Just my thoughts, not discrediting yours.

      Stop acting like he's a self made super agent. Lebron made him to be an agent, lebron surrounded him with the best advisers, lawyers who actually know the technical and legal aspects of contract and negotiations. I bet to this day he has ivy league guys on speed dial that he calls for technical support. He's no David Falk and David Falk pretty much pioneered the modern NBA contract structuring, marketing and money management.

    This was an amazing interview. Rich Paul's insight on the life behind an NBA player, his experience, both sides of business and wisdom really shined here.
    His comment about an NBA player's crew reminded me of the show Entourage. Who doesn't want to take care of their friends and family? but you don't realize when you're being a liability. You need to be part of the reason why things work so well in his life

    This is definitely my favorite episode of Gil's Arena [edit: so far, at this point]. There's just a lot to unpack there if you have the same approach or mindset going in and if you are willing to digest the information. It all comes from a very real and lived experience that is transferable. That's key. That goes towards empowering and encouraging each other.

    I remember during the Lamar Jackson contract disputes people saying players don't need agents. The mega-stars may not need agents, but I hope people can see the value of a great agent like Rich for the lower-drafted or undrafted players who often times don't get guaranteed money. A good agent can help an lesser-known player get to the right situation and maximize their career, when those players may not have the vision of where they fit the best, or just need a team to give them a chance.
