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.
While on the Gil’s Arena podcast, the panel of personalities in attendance were posed the question, “How legit is the Lakers ‘bubble ring?’” This was in reference to Los Angeles’s 2020 NBA title they won during the COVID-19 pandemic where teams were forced to play without any fans in attendance in Orlando.
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.
