Paul used to live in a one-bedroom apartment above his father"s store, R & J Confectionary, on 125th and Arlington in Glenville, a neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland.
He went to Benedictine, a predominantly white Roman Catholic high school across the town. His father died of cancer in 1999. After graduating high school, Paul was buying throwback jerseys from Atlanta and selling them out of his trunk in Cleveland.
In 2002 he met LeBron James, who was impressed by Paul"s authentic Warren Moon throwback jersey, at the Akron-Canton Airport.
Both on their way to Atlanta, Paul to restock and LeBron to the Final Four. The two exchanged contact information, and soon Paul hooked James up with a Magic Johnson Lakers jersey and a Joe Namath Rams uniform.
In 2003, after the National Basketball Association draft, LeBron hired Paul to be a part of his small inner-circle. He would later start working under Leon Rose, who had negotiated LeBron"s extension with the Cavs in 2006, at Creative Artists Agency.
In 2012, Paul left Rose and Civil Aeronautics Administration to start his own agency, Klutch Sports Group, and took LeBron with him.
