Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not a soft-spoken man. On Tuesday, that was exemplified once again when he reacted to the NCAA's recent rule about agents who will represent student athletes.
On Tuesday evening, “the NCAA has officially added criteria for agents who wish to represent student athletes testing the waters for the NBA Draft.” Included in the criteria is that agents must have a bachelor's degree, which LeBron believes is a plot to stop Rich Paul who didn't graduate.
LeBron quickly chimed in on the new criteria and called it ‘The Rich Paul Rule.”

Despite getting right to the point with his initial tweet, James didn't stop and promised they won't stop the culture they are building.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop! They BIG MAD 😡 and Scared 😱. Nothing will stop this movement and culture over here. Sorry! Not sorry. 😁✌🏾

Of course, James himself skipped the collegiate ranks altogether and immediately jumped to the NBA in 2003 as one of the most hyped prospects of the decade. The Lakers star was able to avoid dealing with the NCAA entirely, but that won't stop him from criticizing the program and how it seemingly exploits student athletes.
Student athletes who are aspiring to go pro are required to be at least one year removed from high school graduation, forcing some to play one season at the collegiate level or play professionally overseas.
