NBA agents were very much so in their feelings after Rich Paul hosted an Pro Day for Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Maxey as they prepare for the NBA draft.
Because it was broadcast on ESPN 2, they felt like Paul was giving his prospects “unwarranted attention” and that the NBA should’ve stopped it. This was just the latest in a series of anonymous complaints about Rich Paul and Klutch.
LeBron James has had enough of those complaints.
He came to the defense of his agent and close friend in his Instagram story on Friday night. He sent a message to those anonymous agents and, uh, it was not pleasant.

He also commented on one of Paul’s Instagram posts defending him and what he’s doing.
"These men are more than athletes, and I couldn't be more proud to work with them. The old narratives won't work. Keep believing in yourselves, it will happen for you."

“FACTS!!!!! Say it again and louder or the people in the back. You know what, no need to repeat yourself!!!!”
Translation: Get with it or get lost, agents. Plain and simple. Good on LeBron for defending his guy.
