Rich Paul is one name that should be respected by fans and the entire NBA family. He is not just a big weight in the sport but a super-agent to some big teams and big names including LeBron James and Anthony Davies. Rich Paul is also one of the founders of Klutch Sports Group.
Recently, the big agent has been attacked by fans over his response to Stephen A. Smith’s remark over the LeBron James GOAT debate. So exactly what did Paul do to get mocked by fans?
Rich Paul responds to Stephen A. Smith’s get the “f**k out of my face” remark
Rich Paul recently clarified an encounter he had with Stephen A. Smith. He said the veteran reporter and analyst made up parts of their conversation about LeBron James.
Recently, Rich Paul talked to former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas on his podcast. They discussed something Stephen A. mentioned this past summer. He said he informed Paul that he couldn’t argue about LeBron James and Michael Jordan anymore.
While talking to Arenas, Paul explained what really happened. He didn’t deny the conversation, but he admitted that Stephen A. made up some of the words he used. “I can debate all day long,” Paul said. “There’s no such thing as get the f*ck out my face… let’s just add context for the viewers.”
This whole thing started about a month ago when Stephen A. Smith appeared on Paul George’s podcast. During the interview, they both had their takes on LeBron James and Michael Jordan’s GOAT debate. Stephen A. at one point allegedly told Paul that he couldn’t argue with him again.
“That’s exactly what I said to him, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. You can’t talk to me about that. You gonna tell me I am disrespecting a man by having him No. 2 all time you have lost your damn mind, I’m not talking to you,” Smith said.
