Lakers News: LeBron James Laughs Off Recent Trend of Klutch Agency Clients Leaving
I don't know if there is anybody within the NBA that loves proving people wrong more than The King himself and it is probably because he does it so often. Time and time again, people have doubted the greatness of LeBron James both on and off the court and it's safe to say he delivers more often than not.
I personally accepted that he defies most odds after the 2016 NBA Finals where he led Cleveland on the greatest series comeback ever. Hearing him say 'I want my damn respect!' after the Lakers' 2020 championship showed him actually letting the NBA world know that he's aware of his own legacy at hand. We also got to see him hop on Twitter multiple times during LA's run as a seventh seed in the 2023 playoffs and diss those who tried to poke in numerous series.
But other than just the Lakers, something that The King proudly represents is the sports agency he is represented by known as Klutch Sports. His childhood friend Rich Paul is the CEO and he has helped a number of rising stars in the NBA land must-year contracts and obtain generational wealth.
However, over the past year, a number of big-name clients began to leave the agency such as Ben Simmons, OG Anunoby and Anthony Edwards just to name a few. Rumors began spiraling that Klutch was having financial issues and that Paul's legendary run may be coming to an end.
But look further than these past two days as proof that Paul and Klutch Sports are here to say. Just to name a few once again, the likes of Fred Vanvleet, Draymond Green and Jerami Grant all inked $100 million deals with Paul representing them.
And nobody celebrated harder than LeBron James seeing his friend do what he does best!
"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"
James clearly is okay with other stars leaving Klutch and is happy to see those that are sticking around!
