Everyone thinks of LeBron James when they hear Klutch Sports. Ever since LeBron started working with Rich Paul in 2003, the two have formed a close bond.
Eventually, Paul founded Klutch Sports back in 2012 with James as his marquee client. Klutch is now one of the most renowned talent agencies in the NBA. It has been experiencing massive growth over the last five years wherein the agency has jumped more than 15 spots on the list of the world’s most valuable sports agencies. It has even become a fad now where if a player signs with Klutch, rumors of them eventually teaming up with James start to surface.
However, Paul and his group represent a plethora of other players that it actively manages. Moreover, not everyone teams up with James too. Here are all the clients of Klutch Sports:
1. LeBron James – Los Angeles Lakers, SF/PF

Paul has risen all the way up to No. 3 in total client wages as of last year even though he ranks No. 7 among his peers in total number of clients. They carry whopping $814M totaling all the contracts under management.
Overall, Rich Paul and Klutch represent over 20 names in the NBA. They hold a variety of players such as household names with James and Anthony Davis, talented role players such as Draymond Green and J.R. Smith, as well as up-and-coming young stars like Ben Simmons and Trae Young.
Klutch clearly has a knack for spotting talent and will continue to do so for the years to come.
