Rich Paul’s comments saying Michael Jordan would be 0-6 in the Finals without Scottie Pippen:
“If you unplug Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, LeBron doesn’t win titles there. If you unplug Kyrie from the Cavaliers, they don’t come back 3-1. If you unplug Anthony Davis from the bubble Lakers, they don’t win a championship.”

Rich Paul compares LeBron James to Muhammad Ali
“
I always looked at LeBron as more of what I would call the people’s champion, like Muhammad Ali. Even when he lost, I feel like people really embraced him.”

Rich Paul recalled a conversation with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade after the Miami HEAT lost the 2011 NBA Finals:
"
You actually thought that God was going to allow you to win in that space that you were in, pretending to be the villain.....I was like, he's not going to do that. Because if he allows you to win in that mindset, then that's who you become going down the road."
So it wasn't meant for you to be remembered as a villain."
