Very great story. When black people see other black, who are successful and happy, it pushes us forward....well at least for most of us. Thank you Bloomberg...keep doing what you do and more!
True. But wyt folks were trying to stop ✋ him and more like em until the players stood up. They tryed to make it to where you needed a degree to do what he was doing because they knew he didn't have one
This man is living the American Dream. Had a goal, took the opportunity he was given, worked his ass off, and now he enjoys the fruits of his labor. Anybody that hates on him clearly has no respect for work ethic.

He's a Black man that showing us what happens when preparation and opportunity meets. This stage is a bigger stage than the streets. It's something Rich Paul was born with, his parents sharpened it, and the Cleveland streets styled it.
@@terrencehurt4612 you think LeBron is the only one who would have determined his destiny?? Think again.... Is Lebrons agent the only successful agent out there? Yes there's luck, but some people try so hard with so much positivity luck continuously come to them in so many ways trust me
It is a privilege to see young black men succeed at this level of pedigree and graceful class when presented with adversities and still accomplish their intended goals. As a black woman, it's encouraging and I don't just take notes from female entrepreneurs but men as well. Entrepreneurship runs in my blood. I enjoyed this interview. Much respect.

I like LBJ as a basketball player but it's off the court that he shines the most. To pull this man up with him was absolutely incredible! I can truly say I'm proud of their success and may other young black men and black women be motivated by this. Trust, faith, respect,determination and professionalism can take you far.
Crazy how LeBRON is humble and loyal enough to put his guys in the position, most importantly it’s also all about how they were so loyal hardworking men to take the chance, and build their own businesses and empires. These crew represents excellence and inspiration as brotherhood.
I'm not a big sports fan. I got here to see who Adele man was. Glad I know who Rich is and think he's awesome person. Wishing them great things and love in their future 🥰
Bron single handedly changed the perception of the league from where it was when he entered the league. Players were previously viewed as "thugs with hanger-on entourages" "womanizers" "absent baby daddies" "bad money managers." LeBron marries Savannah and both raising a beautiful family, his close circle of friends and business partners are carving respectable lanes behind the scene that will make his transition to retirement effortlessly, his financial savviness, and maturity on and off the court beyond years his age have been infections for other players to learn from and strive for.
@@FREE-lw4lb Magic was known as a womanizer and MJ was a controversial gambler who frequented strip clubs. No judgement from me but neither of those qualities have ever been attached to LeBron.
@MrUseurname both Magic and Jordan have admitted to their faults. It’s not just rumors and gossip. Nothing against their legacies at all, but Lebron was a much needed change for the NBA after the 70’s/80’s cocaine era and 90’s/00’s street culture. Players today are now seen as partners, not employees. They are also far more media savvy and aware of their public image. All of that is thanks to Bron and Rich.
The one thing I love about their story is the "Feast Mentality". Everybody's so willing to help each other. There's no insecurity and there's mutual respect. The idea is simple with them: we're all going to make it.
If I was an up and coming athlete That's who I would want guiding me forward. His philosophy for mentoring and showing the way to a better future is fantastic.
They are perfectly fine with black people being the athlete, but once we start getting into roles greater than that, it’s a problem. More black execs, agents, etc. we represent 85%+ of the league, now let’s fill the front offices.

I don't think that's the case. Collaboration is the key to their successful unit. LeBron can make decisions on his own, but he gets needed contrary thoughts on his idea. That's very powerful stuff.
Great stuff here. Love the structure and group foundation and not having conflict within.. solid blueprint that it can be done. Love it all. ✊🏾❤🙏🏾 Jimmy has done shady business to many of our people. I dint trust him 100% But he knows things about the biz.
The man Jimmy Levein is 100% the Black American labor built this nation and no doubt being the laborer created systems that made it wealthy beyond imagination in a short period of time. That the Black well-developed culture is an untapped resource is a profound statement and at least recognized by some. Black culture and genius right now that can take this nation to another level and revive capitalism in a way that will return it to a superpower status yet to be seen. Just the business model that Lebron and his inner circle built is an example of the genius of Black Americans locked into the ghettos of this nation by racism that if kept going will put this nation on the ash heap of history and America will be nothing but a dream.
