Roc Lit 101, the publishing division of Roc Nation the entertainment company founded by Shawn Jay-Z Carter and an imprint of Random House, announced Wednesday that it has acquired Paul’s coming-of-age story,
Lucky Me.
In his book, Paul, who represents some of the NBA s biggest names including LeBron James, Anthony Davis, John Wall, Ben Simmons and Draymond Green, introduces who he was prior to becoming a leading figure in sports.

Lucky Me highlights Paul’s life before Klutch, including navigating a difficult community of Cleveland.

We’ve entered the vacuum of 2021 to incessant, cold rain. There’s the bitterer, chillier pill of waiting until the 15th for everything to open indoors – even then: WHY BOTHER? Nobody’s getting COVID-19 shots. Eagles’ chieftain Doug Pederson is still here through the next season, a promise and a threat.
