Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul publicly called out ESPN insider Adam Schefter on Wednesday, moments after client LeBron James elected to continue his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.
According to the New York Post, Paul responded to a social-media post from Schefter with a pointed remark, implying the NFL reporter should stay in his lane when it comes to NBA news. The exchange occurred shortly after James’ decision became public.
Schefter, known primarily for breaking NFL stories, had posted about the four-time NBA champion’s move to Philadelphia. Paul quickly fired back, questioning Schefter’s credibility on basketball matters and reminding followers that Klutch Sports, not an NFL reporter, manages James’ announcements.
Neither James nor the 76ers have commented on Paul’s jab. ESPN has not issued a statement regarding the exchange.
