The GOAT debate in the NBA will probably never come to a conclusion, and maybe, it’s a blessing that we have had all these extraordinary players in our history. And the notable names being LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. But for Rich Paul, all these great icons can be mentioned under the same roof, especially with the inclusion of LeBron James. Speaking on the Stephen A. Smith Show, he said:

But it talked about Apple being worth $2.9 trillion and Microsoft being worth $3 trillion. You know. If LeBron, Mike, and Kobe was in a room together, they all belong. There’s no room in basketball that LeBron’s going to get to that door and be denied on the list. Not one.

There is no denying LeBron’s time in the NBA has been nothing short of iconic. Many believe Rich Paul has played a huge role in his surprise. The duo had been together before the fame game even arrived, just showing the dedication and the trust they had for each other. Which Rich Paul as his agent, can proudly say he has made it.

But not just a successful player, but rather a legend of the game who has shaped the modern NBA. And with past glories of LeBron James from countless accolades to those magical moments, Rich Paul feels and states LeBron’s inclusion in the topic of GOAT discussions is a must.
