Rich Paul Says His Take on Jordan-LeBron Debate Was ‘Misconstrued’

Rich Paul desires to clear the air about his latest Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James take … saying regardless that he’d need MJ to take a final shot over his bestie/high consumer … the King continues to be 100% his G.O.A.T.

ICYMI, Paul and his “Game Over” podcast co-host Max Kellerman have been speaking hoop not too long ago … when the big-time sports activities agent revealed he selected His Airness to be the man capturing the ball on the finish of a recreation over Bron or Kobe Bryant — saying there’s “no question about it.”

When we caught up with Paul out in Beverly Hills this week … he mentioned of us made it out to be like he was dissing LBJ in favor of MJ … which was not the case in any respect.

“No, that got misconstrued,” Paul mentioned. “The internet clips it. What happened was, they asked me a question about the three players. So, I said yeah, if I’m starting a team, I’m taking LeBron at No. 1. I’m still taking LeBron at No. 1, and I would take MJ to take the last shot, but that’s not saying that I’m choosing one over the other.”

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

Remember, Paul — the CEO and founding father of Klutch Sports Group — has recognized James perpetually and have become his agent in 2012 … so it is no shock the place his loyalty lies.
