![]() ![]() I know Phil’s in a position of power in our sport, but to criticize me and my guys over that is nonsense. That’s just 12 years of hard work and dedication that we put to each other. “They’ve studied on what they want to do and they can hold a meeting without me because of the respect that they have and the knowledge they have. “I’ve tried to put my guys in position to where they can walk in a meeting and go places and they don’t need me because they got to a point where they’ve done their homework,” he said. Twitter is secretly boosting 35 users including LeBron James and Marc Andreessen, according to a new report. They’ve thrived and James is proud of their accomplishments. They formed LRMR marketing shortly after James turned pro, and the 31-year-old three-time champion was highly criticized for surrounding himself with friends. Among the group’s most prominent successes are landing James a lifetime contract with Nike worth nearly $1 billion and launching a film and TV production company that has partnered with Warner Bros.Ĭarter handles James’ business affairs while Paul serves as his agent - and for several other top players - and Mims works with the Cavs. I don’t think you would have to be a rocket scientist or an educated person to understand what that means to us.Along with close friends Maverick Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims, James has built a sports business empire. That’s what I consider those close people to me. “I’d want to be called a tight-knit group or family. “I would never want to hear that word about me and my – I don’t want to say crew – but people that I consider family or people that I come up, been through thick and thin with,” Anthony told ESPN. James also won some sympathy from one of the Knicks’ biggest starts, Carmelo Anthony. Yet because you’re young and black, he can use that word. If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, that’s one thing. It’s the word ‘posse’ and the characterization I take offense to. ![]() “He could say he’s not that good or the greatest in the world as a basketball player. “I don’t care that he talks about LeBron,” Carter said. Maverick Carter, James’s longtime friend, confidant and business partner, took objection to the language in an interview on Tuesday with ESPN. The three-times NBA champion was criticized for surrounding himself with friends as business associates, but the group has built a highly successful enterprise. James adds that he respected what Jackson did with those teams, “but I’ve got nothing for him.” The Cavaliers superstar says he had no previous relationship with Jackson, the current New York Knicks president who won 11 titles with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. I do know LeBron likes special treatment. But something happened there where it broke down. “I always thought Pat had this really nice vibe with his guys. You are with this team.’ You can’t hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland. So now Spoelstra has to text Riley and say, ‘What do I do in this situation?’ And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers, ‘You are on the plane. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night. But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. “It had to hurt when lost LeBron,” Jackson said in an interview with ESPN published on Monday. ![]()
