“Disrespect to Rich Paul is asinine” –  LeBron James’ agent and Adele’s boyfriend IGNORED at Lakers-Warriors playoff game makes NBA Twitter furious

Rich Paul has made his way back to the NBA headlines and the reason isn’t him landing another golden deal to LeBron James or any other client of his. Instead, it’s a bit saddening. As the founder of Klutch Sports Group and agent of superstars like Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, and LeBron James, Rich Paul was sidelined on national television during Western Conference Semifinals Game 3 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.

Rich Paul is a bit too important to be ignored in the crowd. The assumption comes in with the fact that he handles businesses worth billions of dollars and manages superstar clients. Also, Rich Paul plays a very important role in LeBron James’ financial success. He’s been around him since Day 1 and is signing all the big deals while landing great endorsements for King James.

But, unfortunately, he was left out and ignored during the Lakers-Warriors showdown at Crypto.Com Arena. If it happened during a Warriors home game, it would have been understandable. But ignoring your franchise player, LeBron James’ agent who is no less than a celebrity as he dates world-class singer Adele, isn’t just riding with the fans on the internet.

The Lakers grabbed the series lead with a blowout win at 127-97. Several stars came down to show their support in a full-house star-studded game. To name a few, Kim Kardashian, Michael B Jordan, Nia Long, Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson, and many others were in attendance. Many of these celebrities were highlighted on the screen and Adele was one of those. But the camera crew completely ignored Rich Paul and disrespected him by not highlighting him on the screen, even though he was sitting right next to his fiance, Adele.

None other than, the Twiterattis have Rich Paul’s back. Fans on social media are standing up for him and pointing out how wrong it was to ignore him. However, the reactions came through mixed as some are also defending the camera crew for ignoring Rich Paul, who is an agent and is around for most of the games. You can find some of the many reactions posted by fans here below:

Rich Paul though would be least interested in discussing this. As a businessman, he probably ranks the work above credits. And, over the two decades of being around the league, he has never been greedy to make a name for himself and get some minutes on national television. Also, during the game he would be focused on spectating his clients go against each other or he surely will have some work to take care of during the summer.
