Resumen del Editor
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of will, success, and the luck we make—from the founder and CEO of Klutch Sports Group and one of the most influential figures in the multibillion-dollar sports industry
“One of the greatest stories of growing up in America’s ghettos and overcoming adversity.”—Jay-Z
“The minute I met Rich, I knew he was different.”—LeBron James, from the Foreword
A BET BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
There’s a story about Rich Paul that everyone knows: A twenty-one-year-old kid from Cleveland who sells sports jerseys out of his car meets a high school basketball phenom named LeBron James at an airport—the two become friends and forge a decades-long partnership that reinvents the business of sports. That random meeting might seem like the lucky break that changed Paul’s life. But a moment of good fortune means nothing without the struggle that gets you there. And the truth is, Paul had always been lucky.
Rich Paul became a gambler at an early age—his fast mind and gift for finding an edge made him a devastating dice roller who could hold his own with grown men, win big, and walk away alive. Shooting dice wasn’t just a pastime; it was a way to earn money for his family as his mother struggled under the weight of drug addiction. He learned the secret science of dice in the same place he found all the lessons of his young life: the corner store his father operated, the center of the neighborhood’s frantic action. Paul’s father had another family but kept his son close working at the store. Paul dreamed of becoming a star athlete, but the streets were where he thrived, building a lucrative enterprise on shaky ground. When he found himself at a dangerous crossroads, he summoned the teachings of his past to create a different future.
Listeners will follow the riveting journey of a young Rich Paul narrated by the Paul of today, who looks back with wit and insight, drawing out the lessons he learned at every stage—about business, people, and the values that lead to success. It’s the inspiring story of the luck that’s all around us, if we know where to look.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“The minute I met Rich, I knew he was different. . . . [He] helped me find my strength. Rich’s superpower is understanding what people truly need. So when you flip these pages and witness the kind of pain we felt growing up, don’t flinch. Hard truths make us stronger.”—LeBron James, from the Foreword
“This book is an American tale of ‘against all odds’—and I believe young people in similar environments will see themselves in Lucky Me, one of the greatest stories of growing up in America’s ghettos and overcoming adversity.”—Jay-Z
“Rich Paul spells out why businesses need to recognize that elite talent can take the most unlikely paths. By treating people the right way, demanding excellence at every turn, and utilizing the lessons he learned from his father, Paul turned his opportunity into one of the great, modern-day success stories in sports.”—Jimmy Pitaro, ESPN Chairman

If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Historia
In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Historia
Fat Joe is a hip-hop legend, but this is not a tale of celebrity; it is the story of Joseph Cartagena, a kid who came of age in the South Bronx during its darkest years of drugs, violence, and abandonment, and how he navigated that traumatizing landscape until he found—through art, friendship, luck, and will—a rocky path to a different life. This memoir, written in Joe’s own intensely compelling voice, moves with the momentum of pulp fiction, but underneath the tragicomedy and riveting tales of the streets and the industry is a thought-provoking story about a generation of survivors.

Historia
From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens is a violent and introspective memoir that reveals not only 50 Cent's story but the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very little options. It is a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and redemption, but it is also one of hope, determination, and the power of self. Told in 50's own unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street wisdom, and his struggle to survive at all costs.

Powerful and Insightful
Incredibly powerful perspective and insight on an incredible story of struggle, determination, and beating the odds, despite deeply rooted forces meant to oppress a community and people. The will power, discipline and intellectual prowess of Rich Paul is remarkable and should hold an inspirational and motivating message to all young men and women trying to find their purpose and believe in their boundless self worth. I was not familiar with Rich Paul until this read and am leaving with great respect and appreciation for sharing his journey with us.

Heartfelt and Insightful
An audiobook in the subject’s voice always makes a difference for me… this was a heartfelt homage to those who help build this young man, and I applaud his efforts with ensuring that those he comes across don't remain dependent on him if they’re listening. Discovering how informative your journey has been and applying those lessons is POWERFUL!

What An Incredible Story! He’s Blessed!
Rich tells his story of overcoming and triumph. Being an African American in the USA I can understand his upbringing. He’s an American Icon that will be in black history books for changing the sports agency world.

From the Mean Streets…
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Rich’s come-up and origin story. Appreciate the transparency and authenticity. Can’t wait to hear the next book where he shares how he turned the mean streets into the green streets legitimately— 😂 and became sport’s most feared agent. THAT’s the biz bestseller I’d pre-order. Congrats and blessings!

“I feel seen”
Over the past week, I read Rich Paul's latest book, Lucky Me and by read, I mean I listened to the audiobook at 1.5x speed. Read by Paul himself, it was a rich story that took a commendable angle. The angle was that Rich focused on his upbringing and what built "Lil Rich" rather than the champagne-soaked tales of being a kingmaker in professional sports or gossipy takes on his good friend LeBron that could be skewed and reshaped by the pundits and social media. And in his story, I saw so much of myself. Now, to be clear, I never sold weed, I was never the kid in the dice game (I'd watch and then get bored and go play basketball), but what did resonate was a spirit shared by all the crack-era babies. Much of it goes unsaid, but the vibe is cloudy, like the old clubs Billie Holliday used to perform in.
