This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published.
A few weeks ago, I read a biography of LeBron James, and that is where I first heard the name of Rich Paul. He was an associate of LeBron and was in his very small circle of people he trusted. Later, Rich Paul became a sports agent and founded Klutch Sports Group.
This book, though, was about his life before he met LeBron James.
What a great title, indeed, as Rich was very lucky. He worked in his dad’s store throughout his young childhood and later when he was a teenager, called R & J Confectionery. He made extra money by gambling, selling drugs, and selling vintage jersey’s (that was how he met LeBron James). With that extra money, he used it to buy name brand clothing and shoes. He always prided himself in looking good, no matter how old he was.
His dad was a major influence not only at his store, but also provided business and life advice. His mother was in and out of the picture as she was a drug user.
Even though I didn’t know anything about what he did, I enjoyed reading it and the stories he told were very honest. I am glad, that nothing bad happened to him, although, he did have some bad things happen to friends.
I can easily see him writing another memoir about meeting LeBron and what happened afterward.
