Rich Paul is perhaps the most influential agent in the NBA, and yet he does not represent a single white player… Real will or simple coincidence? He expressed himself on the subject during an interview, making a fairly clear observation.
In the James clan we like to make history, there is no need to prove it anymore. LeBron, the leader of the pack, will begin his 21st season in the league, an exceptional longevity for a player of his level, and he will have the opportunity to reinforce his status as the best scorer of all time. And then, if his Lakers win a ring, he could also come close or surpass Michael Jordan in the race for the title of GOAT in the eyes of a majority…
But be careful, he is not the only one in his entourage to achieve great things. In the offices, it is his friend and agent Rich Paul who is establishing himself as one of the most influential men to have played in the NBA. Anthony DavisDe’Aaron Fox, Draymond Green, Zach LaVine, Trae Young, Dejounte Murray… Having so many All-Stars in the same structure is unprecedented.
Rich Paul explains why white people don’t work with him
If the power of Klutch Sports is undeniable, the boss believes he still has some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of customer diversity. During an appearance on the “Clay Cane Show”, he explained why he only worked with few white players… This is not a desire on his part, quite the contrary, he just comes up against a dynamic racial tension across the Atlantic:

Clay Cane : A friend in the industry told me that despite all your success, white players and white families had a hard time trusting a black agent.
Rich Paul : It is very true. And that doesn’t concern foreign players, because they always come with a different vision. Jusuf Nurkic for example makes no difference…
But if you grew up in Indiana, Georgia, Oklahoma or even my native Ohio, yes it’s true. In the NBA I do not represent a single white and American player. It’s a difficult thing. With my success I thought I could make things happen, but no.
Rich Paul, considered the best agent in the NBA, renowned for winning crazy contracts for his players, still faces racial distrust in certain states… Something he obviously regrets and which he will try to change over time , but the mission promises to be complicated. Which goes to show that being LeBron James’ friend doesn’t open all the doors and doesn’t necessarily ensure an immaculate reputation across the Atlantic.
Rich Paul would like to have a roster with more diversity, but he must face the distrust of certain families when recruiting young talents in some states. A rather deplorable observation in 2023…
