'''Rich Paul''' is an American sports agent based in Cleveland, Ohio. He founded Klutch Sports Group and represents a number of prominent NBA players, including [[Eric Bledsoe]], [[John Wall]], projected #1 2016 pick [[Ben Simmons]], and long-time friend [[LeBron James]].<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Paul used to live in a one-bedroom apartment above his father's store, R & J Confectionary, on 125th and Arlington in [[Glenville, Cleveland|Glenville]], a neighborhood on the east side of [[Cleveland]]. He went to [[Benedictine High School (Cleveland, Ohio)|Benedictine]], a predominantly white Roman Catholic high school across the town. His father died of cancer in 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/18/sports/basketball/lebron-jamess-return-to-cleveland-completes-a-journey-for-rich-paul-too.html |title=An Agent of Change |publisher=New York Times |date=2014-08-18 |accessdate=2014-08-18}}</ref><br />
<br />
After graduating high school, Paul was buying throwback jerseys from [[Atlanta]] and selling them out of his trunk in Cleveland. In 2002 he met LeBron James, who was impressed by Paul's authentic Warren Moon throwback jersey, at the Akron-Canton Airport; both on their way to Atlanta, Paul to restock and LeBron to the Final Four. The two exchanged contact information, and soon Paul hooked James up with a [[Magic Johnson]] Lakers jersey and a [[Joe Namath]] Rams uniform.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/rich-paul-lebron-agent-2014-7 |title=Meet Rich Paul, The Man Who Orchestrated LeBron's Return To Cleveland |publisher=Business Insider |date=2014-07-14 |accessdate=2014-08-18}}</ref><br />

In 2003, after the NBA draft, LeBron hired Paul to be a part of his small inner-circle. He would later start working under [[Leon Rose]], who had negotiated LeBron's extension with the Cavs in 2006, at [[Creative Artists Agency]]. In 2012, Paul left Rose and CAA to start his own agency, Klutch Sports Group, and took LeBron with him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/lebron-james-leaves-caa-childhood-friend-will-represent-him-788898 |title=LeBron James Leaves CAA, Childhood Friend will Represent Him |publisher=International Business Times |date=2012-09-13 |accessdate=2014-08-18}}</ref><br />
