Rich Paul says Allen Iverson used to always warn young LeBron that the media and people would eventually turn on him
Rich compares it to what Wemby is going through now as the narratives around him have shifted after losing the NBA finals
He brings up 2010 when LeBron left Cleveland is when everybody turned on him

At age 11, Elon saw his first real computer in a Johannesburg mall and just stood there staring. He had only read about them in magazines before.
His dad hated computers (“just for games”), so Elon saved up from odd jobs and bought a Commodore VIC-20.
He finished the 60-hour BASIC programming course in 3 days, barely sleeping.
At 13, he created his own video game called Blastar (destroy an alien space freighter with hydrogen bombs) and sold it to a magazine for $500.
He then sold two more games: one similar to Donkey Kong, and another simulating roulette and blackjack.
This kid was built different from the start. 🚀

One of Future’s 8 baby mamas Eliza Reign took him to court demanding $53,000 in child support to maintain their lifestyle. She claimed her daughter is the child of a celebrity and demanded over $53,000 per month in child support.
Future told the court he’s not even worth $100,000 total, and paying $50,000 monthly would leave him homeless in no time. The judge rejected her high demand and ordered Future to pay $3,200 per month instead. Future already pays child support for more than 10 children with 8 different women.
JR Smith tells a story when Tyronn Lue went off on LeBron James at halftime of game 7 in the finals:
“That sh*t was so crazy. He’s so chill. He came right in there at halftime like, Bron you got to be better. You got to be better. Bron was like what you want to do? He said I don’t know but you need to be better. You need to figure it out. Get the ball. Dunk the motherfu*ker. Do whatever you got to do. Bron was hot. He was on fire. I’ve never seen him that hot. Especially not in the finals. Like he stays pretty levelheaded. It can get hot in the moment, but like he was on fire.”

Will Smith says box office success is like delicious poisoned honey
“It feels so good except it's that Monday, you need to do it again. It is so addictive, I literally had to detox myself from looking at Box Office Mojo every day waiting for them to reset the numbers”
“You know, Bad Boys 3 had a 20% drop in Spain. What happened in Spain between Bad Boys 2 and Bad Boys 3? What happened in Saudi? Why did Saudi go up? How is Saudi equal to Germany? Like all of that, like it's madness”
“So I had to get out of there but it's like I said, the poisoned honey. It's delicious going down”
Will Smith explains why he loves being famous
“It makes me feel safe”
“Somebody knows who I am anywhere I go on Earth. Any street I walk on, somebody knows who I am”
“I believe in the basic goodness of humanity, so I always feel safe. I feel like somebody will help me”
Skip Bayless says best fit for LeBron James is to join the San Antonio Spurs:
“Because if you could have LeBron play point for them 30 minutes a night, they would be much better to me. Because his greatest strength is passing and distributing he could average easy 10, 11, 12 assist a night with that team. But it would be a big bold gutsy move because you’re bringing in that aura, you’re changing the chemistry.”

Let's do the actual math nobody wants to show you.
$85,000 salary. $54,000 after taxes depending on your state.
$4,500/month take home.
Rent: $1,900. Car: $520. Insurance: $180. Utilities: $160. phone: $85. Groceries: $380. Student loans: $340.
You have $935 left.
and then your boomer parents tells you to be more disciplined.
Will Smith says once you make around $1 million a year, money starts buying misery instead of happiness
“There’s an amount of money that once you pass it, it buys misery”
“Once you have a certain amount of money you can change people’s lives, so it’s all people can think about, it’s difficult to make new friendships at certain financial points”
“In America somewhere around 1 million a year it starts going the other way, where it’s more problems beyond that, and you start getting into an attack zone”
Bill Russell won 11.
Kareem won 6.
MJ won 6.
Kobe & Tim won 5.
LeBron & Steph won 4.
Gets harder to win multiple titles each era. Will be interesting to see which superstar in this next era gets their second ring first.
Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul says a $35 cheaper flight is the reason he met LeBron James and built a billion-dollar agency
"Before he left his house, he saw a Fabolous video and Fabolous had the jersey on. So when he got to the airport and I'm coming to the gate, I had the same jersey on. And he's like, Yo, where'd you get that jersey from?"
"Now think about all the jerseys I actually had and me deciding to wear that jersey. Us going to the same airport. I'm from Cleveland. I shouldn't even be flying out of Akron-Canton, Delta flies out of Cleveland Hopkins every hour"
"I'm driving 45 minutes past the airport in my own city to fly out of another airport for a $35 cheaper flight. Really makes no sense. But that's fate"
