Rich Paul Defends LeBron James With Debate-Starting Steph Curry Question

Rich Paul and LeBron James have been friends for over 20 years, so the famed sports agent will never miss an opportunity to defend the Lakers star. This time, he decided to compare him to Stephen Curry to make a point.

Paul defended the championship’s legitimacy and brought Curry into the conversation to try and make a point. It appears Paul was trying to make the argument that hate for James is the only reason why the championship is ever questioned.
