Rich Paul says his take on the Jordan-LeBron debate was “misinterpreted.”

Rich Paul wants to clear the air about his recent Michael Jordan vs Le Bron James taking… saying that even though he wishes MJ would take one last shot at his best/top client… the king is still 100% his GOAT

ICYMI, Paul and his co-host of the “Game Over” podcast. Max Kellerman were talking recently… when the big sports agent revealed that he had chosen His Airness as the man who will pass the ball over Bron or Kobe Bryant – saying there is “no doubt about it.”

When we spoke to Paul in Beverly Hills this week, he said people were making it seem like he was discrediting LBJ in favor of MJ, which wasn’t the case at all.

“No, that was misinterpreted,” Paul said. “The Internet filmed it. What happened was they asked me a question about the three players. So I said yes, if I start a team, I’ll take LeBron at No. 1. I’m still with LeBron at No. 1, and I would take MJ to get the last shot, but that doesn’t mean I choose one over the other.”

“We know who the best player ever is. His name is LeBron James.”

Don’t forget, Paul, the CEO and founder of Klutch Sports Group, has known James forever and became his agent in 2012… so it’s no surprise where his loyalties lie.
