I can totally relate to this. I have a personal driver car service here in LA with clients that have millions. They're the ones that always want to low-ball my rates,complain about my prices and ask for a discount.
I remember decades ago,on V-103FM,Russell Simmons and his then Wife being asked why they don’t give discounts on their Phat Farm Clothing. Their answer was similar to Rich Paul’s answer: You don’t ask for discounts for White Owned high end items,what makes us any different?!
I had an interesting conversation with my 88 year old uncle. I was complaining about Obama care health insurance and how many services aren’t covered. I also complained about how could people vote or want such are horrible insurance. He simply replied “Because its free” when you haven’t had any better , that’s all you know.
That's a bad example Rich is using. An agents success is tied to a players success.There are only 450 basketball players in the nba and they generate millions of dollars. There aren't enough players to go around for all the agents to exist. Luckily, Rich started with the best basketball player of this generation as client so uber talent will flock to him but if I'm dropping millions of dollars there dhould be some flexibility
I feel like that with most T-shirts. I always thought of it like, hold up, you want me to pay you how much for this T-shirt and on top of that I have to walk around with your gaudy logo on it? Basically, you want to pay you to advertise your brand?....Nah, I'm good. Been wearing plain T-shirts for nearly 25 years. Go find your sucker because I ain't him.
So they rather pay full price at Louis Vuitton who doesn't give discounts and brings them no money, but want the person who makes them money to give them a discount .
Wow! He is SO on point! I wish I could have that conversation with him. Absolutely amazing! I thought I was the only one dealing with that especially since I'm in a service business. Great info! Much appreciated!! 🙏🏾
There are only 450 nba players. Rich Paul and top tier agents can have that attitude but not every agent. In some instances, having an agent like Rich Paul can work against you because if you ain't davis or James status, you aren't a priority and they will push you on a less experienced agent that works for the agency
If you don’t have insurance you do. I’m a broke older college student and most doctors will negotiate. They over-inflate prices for insurance billing so I negotiate to prepay cash to the lowest amount they accept from insurance.
That surgeon didn't get to be a surgeon by knowing LeBron James and have people KNOW he's friends with LeBron James...that surgeon GOT HIS SKILLS FROM THE GROUND UP AND BY HIMSELF...ain't nobody endorsing him.

It's not what you are given, it what you do with it. There are many people who got even bigger opportunities and blew it.
This happens in everyday life. I’m an artist and people who know me think they can get a discount on my work “cuz, we frenz” 😏 my response to them is…. Do you go to the grocery store load up your cart and then ask for them to discount the whole basket because you shop there all the time!? GTFOH I don’t give discounts! I know my worth! …. What he saying is so true!

Why do I keep doing this? Every time I watch a clip to get a feel for if I want to watch the whole interview. Knowing full well I’m going to watch the whole episode😂
Because it’s so inthralling and they know how to hook us do to the enthrallment of it all!! In music terms it’s called a hook !! Metallic Enter the Sandman is a perfect example of it !’ Rappers hook us LL Cool J Mama said knock you out a great hook / intro “”don’t call it a comeback “” it all be the shouting 😂😂😂😂 ie the hook 😂😂😂
It’s interesting how when I started my jewelry/accessory business, a lot of my friends were quick to say congratulations and that’s all I got from them, or “When am I gonna get mine?” One of them even told me they couldn’t afford any jewelry right now, only to see them days later with stone bracelets up to their elbow!!
As a business owner myself, I ain’t under praising myself for nobody, don’t try to hustle me but you don’t go to a restaurant or Starbucks and hustle them. Pay me or keep it moving
he's right to a point. but the guys who are going to get the max deal (and those guys know who they are) don't need an agent to negotiate with a team. ages ago Ray Allen got the max and just paid Johnny Chocrane to read over his contract and make sure it was legit. Agents have different values to different players.
Most rich people always wants discount. I’ve seen people wearing designer clothes, driving expensive cars and pull out a ebt card. The rich know how to manipulate the system better than anyone.
My friend used to train at the gym and people wearing designer workout gear use to ask him for discounts and he would respond did if they asked for their designer wear. The people would have this puzzled looks but most didn’t have their own business
Even in the hair industry people want your service, skills, professional products used on their hair but want a discount saying “whew that’s too much” when you tell them the fee for the service they want. My response is “sorry that’s my price”. I mean do they expect a discount on gas? Rent? Groceries? Heck no!
I never understood that because a stylist is worth every penny and the sad thing is good stylist are hard to find and replace. Why I’m wigging it now 🥴😂😂😂😂😂😂
Forget discounts from the Agent. What are they doing for their communities? Some of these "men" spend at least a million a year in clothing on the aggregate.
You mean when Meek gave kids $20 for selling $1 water and he didn’t even take the water from them. I never understood the criticism that he received for this. So because there were more than one kid, he was supposed to give them all $20? That’s what’s wrong with these entitled kids now… A free $20 for nothing isn’t even enough.
They got trick bills!!! C'mon Mane!!! Real talk tho. Strip clubs, jewelry, cars, clothes... They'll pay above average to any and every body except they own.
A max player worth a max , an agent cant bolster that, so i get dudes wanting a discount to cut an agent into something like that, the rule should be all the endorsement deals you retrieve we can break those down by percentage, but the league contract offers are based on market value not an agent's talent
There always should be negotiation. That's just competition in the market. You go by experience, reviews, cost etc. And you always pay more for better services/product.
Why are celebrities even still spending money on LV, it isn't even considered a luxury item anymore, we all got LV now and they crazy to spend all that money on those ugly Hermes bags
not just athletes... I have sold Hermes + Prada and folks can't spend enough, fast enough. And I have also helped people heal chronic pain and trauma - then they want the hook up or think that a compliment about how talented I am is going to pay my expenses. The cost is the cost, keep the same energy for people as you do 'stuff'.
If I never see a celebrity in any establishment where I work, all the better. ENTITLED!!!!!!!!!! The want the best of everything for nothing and they aren't doing you any favors.
I don't know much about this space but since working with an agent is based on percentages and not a set dollar fee, anyone would have a right to negotiate the percentage fee down especially as a player value increases or decrease over time based on skill and age etc.... It's business and nothing personal. They can choose to spend there money with whomever, however they like.
A friend of mines had leased a kitchen in a club one night and asked me to run it, I agreed, in walks plaxsico burress with his two friends, Burres asked to see the menu, then he says “ can I get a discount, you know who I am”? I responded “ yeah I know who you are, but you’re not getting a discount”. He then got mad and said “ I hope you don’t sale anything!! My response “ We will sell out”. Burress walked away like a big child mad because I would not give him a discount on a $10 meal.
Price of everything, value of nothing. An agent benefits as the client does. Exceptions exist, but that's the general rule. A good agent might be a real difference maker for your kids and grandkids. The Range Rover won't even run right by the time you gift it to a relative.
This culture doesn't realize the power they have in the palm of their hands.....They have the power to kill most of these name brands. So basically, they can control the stock market on what they say and do and wear.......Can you imagine if all the NBA Players stop wearing Nikes and say there trash now........Nike would crash, and the Stock would tank out.
Sorry. I am an Escrow Officer in LA.. folks are the same way. Buyers and Sellers ALWAYS want discounts and free escrow services, not realizing WE are the ones driving that bus! Never request discounts from the realtors or loan brokers whose fees are mostly twice or three times more than ours.
Paying for something is much different than someone getting a cut of your money. You can decide whether or not to buy Louis Vuitton this month, or this year. You can’t decide for your agent to not take 15% of whatever you make.
@@mocahmcgrady7530 Exactly. If they are doing the job right they are an investment and not a cost. And that goes for every thing. Agents, employees, contractors, etc.
@@tommyfu9271 The going rate is between 4-15% of playing contracts and 10-20% of endorsement contracts, so you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Rich Paul is also most definitely going to be getting the higher end of the pay scale.
@@TheDougSpot "However, as per NBA rules, agents can only receive a maximum of 4% in commission from player contracts." Actually it's you who doesn't know what you're talking about. Thanks for playing. It's actually impressive to be both as wrong as you were and are confident about it as you were.
I'm glad Shannon realised that you don't have to be forever indebted to someone because they gave you an opportunity. He allowed Skip to exploit and Jada Pinkett him at times because he gave him the initial opportunity.
I don’t see the contradiction here. Players simply value LV more than they do your services, what is there not to understand ? Rich Paul is an incredibly overrated agent whose reputation stems from deals he made for already coveted players during a subpar free agency, for stagnant franchises. Ironically, he reeks of entitlement. Dude is a very lucky guy emboldened by Lebron’s massive network.
…if you listen to Rich Paul’s comments and CONTEXT, you’ll realize that he’s cool with not dealing with folks who aren’t willing to pay. Even the late great Reginald Lewis had the same mindset: Pay me my worth or we part as friends…
@@shawndillon4930 I listened to his comment and understand the context. If you are unable to see that Rich is upset at players unwillingness to hire him at his desired rates, then I have to wonder if you have autism
There’s something about Rich Paul that screams out “grimmey” I can’t really pin point what that is, but if I was an NBA player I’m not sure if I would trust him.
At end of the day; what are Agents really doing? Negotiating deals.. finding endorsement opportunities.. to be honest; certain athletes can be their own agents..
They negotiate the deals. Lamar Jackson is the perfect example of why you can’t be your own agent. He was playing for a while and not getting a max deal. Just because you’re a good athletes doesn’t mean you can represent yourself. It’s like going to court and being your own lawyer. There is just a certain level of expertise agents bring to the table that most athletes don’t have.
Agents are part of your power team. It is in every player's (and entertainers for that matter) best interest to have a power team to maximize their earning potential. When you invest in a competent, knowledgeable, and hard working power team you are investing in yourself and your legacy. Build a great power team and compensate them well for their deliverables and their loyalty to you, your brand, your NIL, your livelihood, and your net worth. Agents are not The Help. And good agents with a deep network can get you in doors to meetings that can change your life. They are not an expense, they are a wise investment.
Anybody that is spending 200k on a Louis bag that isn't a Billionaire is stupid. These players are rich, but the kind of money they make while playing will be short lived, and you can still sign a couple of 200 million dollar contracts but you still are nowhere near as rich as the owner of the team. You can STILL go broke. Status makes people spend a lot of money
