“I knew from day one Rich was going to build something totally different,” James told Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “He understood players needed a new way to operate on and off the floor. And I know Klutch is just beginning. I’m so proud of what he’s built and to be able to call a real innovator my brother.”

Paul has been LeBron's agent since 2012 which is the same year he created Klutch Sports.
