Lakers star LeBron James wasn’t shy about celebrating the success of his longtime agent and friend, Rich Paul on his huge day in NBA free agency on Friday.
Paul negotiated several significant contracts for his clients on the opening day of free agency, which included Draymond Green’s new four-year, $100 million deal with the Warriors, Fred VanVleet’s three-year, $130 max contract with the Rockets and Jerami Grant’s five-year, $160 million contract to return to the Trail Blazers.
James’s reaction was about what you would expect.
“And y’all still wanna question is Rich Paul is the H.I.M.” James tweeted. “It says a lot about you if you not feeling us. I told him less is more it’s plenty of us.”

Paul is the CEO of Klutch Sports, and represents several NBA players. In addition to the players mentioned above, his portfolio of clients is headed by James, but also includes Anthony Davis, Zach LaVine, Darius Garland, De’Aaron Fox, Dejounte Murray and Tyrese Maxey among others.
It was a huge day for Paul in free agency, and there’s no indication the momentum will be stopping anytime soon.
