After being well covered in all the famous tabloids for his love letter to Cleveland, Rich Paul is set to dream much higher. With the recent launch of his new book, ?Lucky Me?, Rich Paul doesn?t seem to take a backseat to promotions and handing out free copies.

Being one of the premier agents in pro sports, the current agent of LeBron James is a pioneer of change in basketball. The founder of Klutch Sports Group, Rich Paul, registered a business worth $900 million this summer. While rewriting the playbook for representing pro athletes, Adele?s boyfriend claims he would have had a brighter career than any of the shooters in the NBA.

In a recent talk show interview with Shannon Sharpe, Paul is out to boast his supremacy over any of the shooting guards in the NBA. While answering Sharpe?s question, Rich P. replies, ?I was a pretty good athlete?I am one of the best shooters… even still to this day. I would take my chance if I was in the one of 450, I would be at the top.? He then moved on to compare himself to the best three-point shooters in the league.?

Starting with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Trae Young, and Darius Garland, hustling goes on and on. Not even leaving Reggie Jackson from the list, Rich Paul boasts of a career that was far from realization just when he entered high school. Reacting to this heroic claim, Shannon bursts out in laughter and mocks the agent in turn.

These high-end claims came right after the former college athlete told how his suffering-ridden childhood was an inspiration for his book. Well, one thing is for sure: play or no play, handling billion-dollar deals for LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Draymond Green is not an easy task. But is he biased toward the players he represents?

‘LeBron James Is Better Than Michael Jordan’?

Rich Paul’s viewpoint on the ‘Greatest of All Time’ debate may be skewed. However, the reasons apparently make perfect sense to the media. The age-old saga of whether Michael Jordan is better or LeBron James has been going around for ages now. The solution? Not even near.

The reason that P cited was the contentious news coverage of every move and gesture made by LeBron James, even a laugh. And fans are reacting left and right. However, the lack of such media scrutiny made Michael who he was.
