The Genius of LeBron: How Rich Paul Knew Bron Could Handle Being “The Chosen One” 

Be sure to watch the full Rich Paul ep here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ODGQ4PHsE60.html

Rich Paul knows how to make nothing sound like everything lol

I feel like he said so many words without actually saying anything…

The most difficult listen so far.

The guy was asking about LeBron and ended up talking about himself!! 😂

What the hell is this guy talking about lol

Rich Paul: I didn’t make it about me. Also rich Paul: *makes it entirely about him*

What makes his answers unsatisfactory to most is it’s very long winded and indirect. But we kinda know what he means. To put it simply, he was wise not to squander his affiliation with Bron and was rewarded for it. Props to Bron for the awareness on who to keep in his circle.

His slow melodic way of speaking in his interviews makes him sound like he's giving out wisdom....

How does growing up in a broken home by a single mother make someone ready for fame? That environment usually ruins people. Lebron is special despite his upbringing, not because of it

Congrats to him for playing the long game with his association with Bron. Yeah sure you weren’t in it for yourself initially but you saw the writing on the wall.

Isn't gonna lie bros just waffling 😂

He’s not as eloquent as I thought he would be. Maverick Carter on the Podcasts is basically who I thought he would be. Rich Paul having all those memes about running the NBA and being the best agent in the league Made me think he was some master class 1000 IQ dude. He just seems like one of his friends that rode along for the ride. He is definitely not the businessman I thought we would be, but props to him. This dude took the NBA by storm from LeBron’s greatness.

Regardless if Lebron gave him a helping hand. He took it to another level. Think about how many people would have failed at the opportunity given to Rich Paul.

That wife in the t shirt analogy was nuts, I don’t see where og was going with that one

The whole point is about being humble, having integrity, knowing where you come from, and knowing internally what separates you from others still.

JJ is not buying it lol

I'm so glad I found your yt channel jj. Thank you for all that you do. I watch all the ads when I watch your vids (I let the ads play fully while I do anything else).

Respect to Rich Paul. Remember people, regardless of who you're associated with, never let anything or anyone try to diminish your journey. No one builds anything alone, but who YOU are is important.

talking about a whole lot of nothing.

I’m noticing now in this media press run he has, he’s able to talk a bunch, without actually saying nothing impressive.

The reason people arent satisfied with Rich Paul's answers are because he isnt primarily talking about Lebron or the business, but it's clear that the whole point of his press run is to promote his book which ALSO does NOT focus on Lebron and the business. The book is so much more than that.

I think y’all are missing the point. He said multiple times this book, which is why he’s on the show, is about his life not his relationship with bron, how the nba tried to hold him out after Darius Blazer, and how he handle the opportunity he was given. Everyone wants to hear some crazy lebron story and you’re mad you aren’t getting it. This why lebron is successful because of the people around him. Character trumps all and this gentleman has that.

I've been seeing how people are saying he's saying nothing and I wonder what you wanted to hear?

So many words were used, how did JJ understand my mans?😂

This dude sure does love himself some Rich Paul and really good at saying absolutely nothing but while talking for 10 minutes straight haha

What points were made here? Did any thought get followed through to completion?

These comments let me know how much yall hate to see an intelligent black man speak. Self made

Y’all hating on rich in these comments and it’s sad. Not even listening to what this man is saying without being bias

RP is riding the biggest wave ever recorded, best surfer in thr world.

Can't wait to see his son play ❤🎉

Shorty frying chicken with only a t shirt on 👀😂

Right on point , perfectly said rich

If you see the parallel between what’s he say and Joseph story in genesis it’s no wonder my boy is blessed

But in life you only need that one opportunity and this is what Lebron gave them. It’s more than enough and JJ is right

I'd love a word count from Rich here. Then I'd love to compare that to how much actual substance was there.

I’ve seen the rich Paul full interview with Gilbert arenas and I will watch this one. Through words, it’s clear why rich Paul is where he is. His mindset is very dialectical, but on a deeper level, rich Paul is an ethereal communicator. He can clearly get across what he is thinking in such a way where he has gravitas when he speaks, and the thing is, that part about integrity is everything. If we strip away everything, who are you as a man? Not what you DID, but who you ARE. Everyday I wake up in the morning I pressure myself to do better than I did the day before for myself, not anyone else…but myself. When I was a kid and they I was taught that integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking…holds true to this day. I want to be happy with the decisions I make when it’s no one else to hold me accountable. Great conversation.

Listen, I really love Clutch, Lebron and Maverick and Rich for what they have done over there but this guy is in love with the sound of his voice. He perpetually talks like he is laying foundation for some young upcoming hooper. The bloviating. 🤭🤭🤭 Cool story minister, Farrakhan

Do anybody be confused when rich Paul talks 😂 ?

Dropped grown man gems

I use watch Stephen a and Shannon sharp but jj your way more professional than then it's definitely great watching your podcast for keep it up

This dude is a goated baggage handler for lebron

If y'all know anybody who talks like this in your life, you'd forgive me for taking a little nap and waking up to him continuing to talk about something completely different

Don't mind me just skipping the Rich Paul interview and proceeding directly to the comments section

He can RAMBLE!

Bro loves to hear himself speak lol

He’s a tremendous businessman and agent so u guys need to chill he literally gave background and context of lebron pressure and was answering based off of jj questions

LeBron is a true genius on and off the court. He would have succeeded no matter what. So when a player doesn't succeed or reach what we perceive to be their full potential, we have to take a step back and say, maybe this is their full potential.

You young Mf's need power point to follow a conversation 😂😂

I love what Lebron achieved he is aaaamazing. But i just have to say that in the beggining of the video when Rich says lebron highschool game had 20k viewers its not only Lebron, people knew NBA players will be there it was a pop culture event, ofcourse Lebron started it, but it wasnt 20k fans of Lebron

Get him off the POD

Self love is fine, but this man out here acting like Bron did not play a part to why he's where he is. It's blasphemous!

Hits him with the everyone benefitted from LeBron's greatness. Rich Paul can't wiggle out from his truth. I see his patience, but I don't see his value.

I fw rich but he just yapping in this clip

wonder if Rich paul could be a Scott Boris of the NBA

I gotta agree he was talking about a lot of nothing, that T-shirt analogy went over my head and still don’t what he was getting at but I did understand some things he was saying but then he’ll kinda go off track even JJ was like “all the things you said”

I actually really liked Rich Paul's answer. All the hate in this comment section is weird. Maybe just mimicking JJ's unfortunate reactions to what he said

Is it me but anytime they ask him about Bron he flips the convo about him

This episode wasnt it. Had high hopes because Rich, but honestly what was Rich even saying?

Someone needs to tell him to stop yapping. Bron made you and there’s nothing wrong with that my guy😂

I thin you got it backwards... LJ gave RP an opportunity. Not the other way around. LJ saw something in RP.

You could JJ was thinking they were in it for them abit

Pretty certain Rich Paul and Lebron paid the media and RU-vidrs to hype him up throughout his career.

I feel like there is something fake with this guy and that is the main reason Lebron left Miami. Because Pat Riley couldnt stand these frauds who wanted to take over the franchise and do what they wanted like now in LA or in Cle. No bullshit in Miami and Lebron understood it and left. They never really said why and how Lebron quit Miami, did they? If found it weird he didnt even tell his "friend" D Wade untill the last day... I feel like things around Lebron re not always as cool as they want to make it look like. Lebron is the NBA money maker, so they d let him and who we choses do what they want. Oh and when they re exposed, they play the race card of course. If Curry wanted his family to "own" GSW in a way, like putting his family members in the key roles, the organisation would not tell him no, but u dont hear such story because they have morals

And im still waiting for the responses that jj was looking for....

First comment !!!! Great show shout out JJ

Lebron James is a great person he deserves it and P.S, he is the leading Scorer right now.❤❤🎉

He immediately got a job with CAA under Leon Rose because of Bron

He has a way of talking that's just annoying. Get to the point. Also Lebron would've succeeded with or without him. RP thinks he played a bigger role than he actually did.

Bear down for mid-terms

Take a shot everytime he says ‘as a man’

Wtf this dude yappin about

Not to hate at all, but Rich Paul don’t have it.

People want a guy that's being interviewed to talk about someone else I hate watching interviews when the person being interviewed is only being asked questions about someone else

can someone explain the whole woman in a T-shirt analogy Rich Paul was talking about??? where was that supposed to go????? what was the point????? Did it answer JJ's question??

Yoooo, what is Rich Paul talking about? I completely zoned out. It’s like his stories go nowhere

There are so many fillers in his answers, get to the point… imagine the guy giving talks, one session probably last weeks 🤣

This dude just babbling 😂😂

I’m like 90% sure these guest’s don’t even fw blud 🤣🤣

What a genius- playing the metagame like a sugarbaby 304 jumping from lap to lap depending who has the most assets....and still losing not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, but 6 Finals. What a genius - armed with an entire roster of prime All-Stars, loses to Carlos Arroyo, Ginobili and Spanoulis.

RP is making so much $$$ off of the LBJ b.s. it is nauseating. THEIR KLUTCH SPORTS MAFIA MAKES ME SICK. I wait for the day their flaws are uncovered.....yes.

This might have been the most pointless interview ever. Dude is straight up lying or in denial. Not a “money grab”? Cmon bro. He contradicted himself numerous times

Lol 😂😂😂😂. JJ tried hard to be respectful toward rich Paul with his nonsense.

Bet

What the hell was he trying to say?

He talks a little like Floyd Mayweather or Sugar Ray Leonard or Roy Jones! Like a retired boxer!!💯🤔

Some people are just unlikeable. This is a great example

Rich Paul is great at saying a whole bunch of nothing

And Pimps say the say thing to prostitutes..

Nikka stole dat from Tony yayo

Rich is saying that Lebron ‘s crew was the star not Bron .. common bro

First off Rich Paul didn't get himself in the door of sports because of a damn shirt. He's trying to avoid giving Bron credit. That nikka is foolish to not give credit where it is due. You didn't need to be a yes man, because Bron don't even role like that, his heart was in it, bottom line. Gtfoh

Rich Paul you speak like a damn politician. A whole bunch of filibuster.

This interview isn’t making me like Rich or want to buy his book. What the hell is he talking about. This ni**a ain’t even answer the question. Ironically making everything about him while saying “it’s not about me!” AYE RICH HOW DID U KNOW BRON COULD HANDLE BEING THE CHOSEN ONE BRUH….GEEZZZZZ

No yes men, huh. Is that a dig at MJ? 😂

Omg this Dude is talking about himself like the question was about him and JJ said something like why did you become the grounded Guy( that he is Not)

What the hell is he talking about?

Lmao dudes in the comment section trying to sound smart when they cant even make money like Rich Paul. Brokies

I think Rich is cool and all, but Bron still has more burn. Premature book run. Also, an average interviewee at best.

It wasnt rocket science to know that Bron was gonna be a super star in the NBA and reach the MJ level. So gravitating and staying around him since he let y all stay was an evident thing to do because y all were expecting opportunities. If not, why RP wait 9yrs around Bron before he made him his agent? What was in it for him? He said Bron watched him sacrifice... Sacrifice what exactly??? They knew Bron wont let them go after sticking around this long and was gonna feel sorry for them. Bron is a man of heart
