"I'm for James, Young, Chasing Dreams,
Garland, Lavin, Murray are happy and proud."
———— you have a hard time believing
This sentence came from an agent
And even more unbelievable
The above 6 NBA All-Star players
They are all contracted athletes under his company
He was: Richie Paul
Many people hear about Richie Paul for the first time
It all stemmed from his connection to James
And really let Richie from a thin personal name
It has become the top social stream in the public eye
It was during last season's Finals
He and Adele's high-profile pat drag
At first, everyone thought they were friends
But with the official announcement of the famous British female singer
Countless fans have begun to "sour"
Although the ball brother did not understand Adele
But that popular "Hello"
It has also been stored in the list of frequently listened to songs
As a "slightly fat goddess" who was once very popular
Adele never lacked well-known suitors
Even at the end of 2020
Durant wanted to invite her to dinner in New York
Unfortunately, it is the same as the widow sister
Adele eventually declined KD's offer
See here
I believe that many small partners will be very confused
Adu, who rejects the "richest dick", is counted
Why would Adele argue with Rich Paul?
Is a basketball agent awesome?
I might as well take you with you today
Step into the world of Richie Paul
Spring 2002
James, 17, is still a high school student
And Richie Paul at that time
They are also small jersey vendors living at the bottom of society
But it was an airport encounter one day that year
Let the fates of two people be linked
James asked for a rare vintage jersey from the NFL
Richie-Paul used all of his connections
Spend a lot of money
Helped James get that jersey
With the first pleasant cooperation
Since then, whenever James has a jersey and other commodity appeals
Ritchie is always the first to contact
Over time, the two became friends
When James became an NBA champion in 2003
He offered to give Rich Paul a sum of money
Ask the latter if they would like to join their own camp
The results are predictable
Richie Paul readily agreed
James thinks of Richie as his own
It's because it's in him
Discovered the same qualities as myself
They all came from poor backgrounds
Growing up in a street where drugs, drunks, and prostitutes were breeding
But they are extremely disciplined and juvenile
Seek opportunities and desire to change your destiny
Richie was an "illiterate" who had never read economics.
But in the period 2003-08
He continues to delve into business skills through practice
Joined CAA, a well-known brokerage company
Since then, he has been involved in negotiations frequently
Ritchie resigned from CAA in 2012
Klutch brokerage company was founded
And LeBron James
Became his first client
Richie Paul, who was born with a business acumen
It's almost the biggest headache for every team owner in the NBA
A few years after the establishment of Klutch Brokerage
Ritchie has more and more athletes
And his purpose is simple
Help players negotiate big contracts
And take a high commission from it
From James, to Wall
Then ben simmons and Bledsoe
An NBA player owned by Klutch Agency
At present, there are more than 30
According to a 2018 website analysis
Calculated at a commission rate of 2.75%.
That year alone, Rich's income
It's close to 24.9 million U.S. dollars
meanwhile
His business footprint doesn't stop there
Multiple Pelican representatives claimed
Richie used all kinds of momentum
Indirectly contributed to the thick eyebrows to join the Lakers
Be aware
At that time, Thick Brow still had a one-and-a-half-year contract period left
In a way
Klutch started across the alliance
Have a certain right to speak
A few years ago
Everybody mentioned Richie
He would always be called "LeBron's little brother."
Yet when his business empire rose to prominence
His social status far exceeded his height of 1.7 meters
More people like to call him "KingMaker."
Richie Paul
It was already one of the few black elites in the business world
So, let's go back to the question at the beginning of the article
An agent of basketball circles
How good can it be?
Richie Paul was a straw man
But he learned and worked hard through the day after tomorrow
Changed his own fate that he had written well
It has also changed the fate of many athletes
Never any capital
to own capital
Against capital
Isn't this a cow yet?
