Rich Paul has defended LeBron James decision to sign with the 76ers and refuted the ring chasing narrative, after many, including Charles Barkely accused LeBron of doing it.Firstly, he went andshuts down the narrative that signing LeBron comes with a lot of demands.The things that perceive is so far from the truth, Paul said. One of those things is like, okay. I think someone said, Oh if you sign LeBron comes with all this, he doesnt come with anything. He comes with himself. But again, I think people have this idea that hes asking for all these things. We were not raised like that just first and foremost. We were not raised like that. We were actually raised the opposite way dont ask nobody for anything if you cant get it yourself.Second part of that is, one thing he does ask for is to be in a position to win, and if being in a position to win is a negative ask, then what are you in team sports in that case? Like, I just dont understand that you cant have it both ways.As for people like Charles Barkley saying LeBron is team stacking or ring chasing, Rich Paul doesnt see that as a bad thing.Its confusing because what are you supposed to chase? Aluminum cans? I dont think he chases anything I just think you want to put yourself in the best competitive position to have a chance of winning, Paul said. Its very confusing when you see players talk about ring chasing. Especially players who dont have a ring. I just dont understand how people get up everyday and try to nitpick at you for trying to put yourself in the best position.Related Article: Josh Hart Responds After Draymond Green's Knicks DigIn case you missed it, this is what Chuck said:Theres the biggest criticism of LeBron James always being that he packs his team, Barkley said at the American Century Championship on Dubs Talk.
