Julius Randle drives a smooth Range Rover now. But How did he get here? His Life,
Lifestyle and more coming up now. Julius Delon Randle was born in Dallas
Texas on November 29, 1994 when Carolyn Kyles welcomed a bouncing baby boy. He
was raised by a single mother with one older sister. His mom was also a basketball player
at the University of Texas. Randle wears the jersey number 30 in tribute to his mom.
He was a Kentucky Wildcat where he averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds in his only college season.
Julius Randle was selected 7th overall in the draft by the Lakers. He got to play
with Kobe. He said Kobe taught him a lot and was lucky to come into a situation like that.
Imagine getting the opportunity to play alongside one of the greatest
to ever play… in his LAST season in the NBA. Randle learned the Lakers way and all the towering
expectations and pressure that comes with it. Randle actually suffered a devastating broken
leg in his first EVER NBA game. Though his stint with the Lakers was
particularly short-lived, Randle impressed more and more each season. Randle’s scoring average
rose each year as he continued to wield more of a featured role on the offense.
The Lakers gave up on him just before LeBron James arrived in town. It
would’ve been fun to see Randle play with LeBron after with Kobe.
But the next stop: New Orleans Pelicans. And though going from L.A. to the Big Easy
is a downgrade in lifestyle (with all due respect), Randle’s game upgraded… big time!
Randle’s game flourished as he blossomed into a star forward for the rebuilding Pelicans.
The team was simultaneously dealing with Anthony Davis trade saga. Randle averaged 21
points and 9 rebounds in his only season in NOLA. He took his talents to another large market in the
New York Knicks during the summer of 2019. A move that would inevitably help Randle
emerge into a star for a franchise that had been starved for star talent for so long.
Randle answered that bell in his second season as a Knick. He got his first All-Star nod,
earned Most Improved Player of the Year, and an All-NBA selection. A season of
near individual perfection that validated Randle as a great forward in the league.
Though Randle is still seeking that next step that will launch him to superstar status,
he’s on the steady uptick, nonetheless. Now let’s see how Julius makes that paper!
Contracts Randle’s rookie deal was
a 4 year -/$13 Million dollar contract. In 2018, the Pelicans offered Randle a
2-year contract worth close to $18 million with the final year being a player option.
And after a breakout 2019 campaign, he firmly declined his player option in pursuit of a more
fabulous payday… That’s exactly what he got from he got from the Knicks who gave Randle
a sweet 3-year, $62.5 million contract to be the man of the franchise. That’s
an average salary of about $20 Million per year. 2 years was all it took for the Knicks and they
were sold on Randle. They decided to make him the cornerstone and offered him a massive 4-year,
$117 million contract extension. That an average salary of $29 Million per year, making Randle
among the higher paid players at his position. His deal ends after the 2026 season where he
will be a free agent at the age of 32. Let’s see if he can take the Knicks to new heights.
Julius has gotten the perks of playing for large market franchises like the Knicks and Lakers and
opportunity to create a big-time lifestyle. Endorsements
Randle is a Nike dude and has been with them since getting drafted. He has worn Kobes mostly
throughout his career. We love it when he rocks the Kobe 1 Proto and Kobe 5s. Go get you a pair!
He also recently inked a deal with the apparel store JDSports. He and his son Kyden (Ky-den)
have a one-of-a-kind deal where the little guy will be the face for their Kids section. He also
has deals with Levi’s, Celsius and Vroom. He’s done some work and commercials
with Mountain Dew. Randle is raking in the Doe,
baby. Let’s see how he spends those Benjamins. Houses
Julius had a French Provincial style custom home in New Orleans. Features include a resort
style pool/spa & backyard. It also sports a gourmet kitchen and floor to ceiling windows.
A bright open floor plan for entertaining comes with a spectacular theatre & bar.
This is a smart home that has a sauna, heated bathroom floors, and a luxurious master suite.
It is over 7,700 square feet with 5 bedrooms. When Randle moved,
he sold this house for $2.6 Million Dollars. Randle is in New York now and we couldn’t find
anything on his new pad, but from the looks of his old house, we think he has that classic style.
Jewelry Some of the jewelry Randle
owns is indicative of his life and his upbringing. He has a stunning watch collection that includes
a frosted white watch with a purple dial that is limited to 200 pieces.
And then bracelets. Bracelets with unique designs that each represent
a different time in Randle’s life. Each bracelet that has the name of his two sons and his mom.
Cars Randle’s first NBA car
purchase was a Porsche Panamera, which he called his dream car. He then copped a cool Black Range
Rover on Forgiato Rims. He has also been seen with a smooth black BMV i8 with suicide doors.
Talk about mobbing in style! Charity
Last year, he made a pledge to donate $500 for every 3-pointer made during
the season. The proceeds would go to the Bronx’s Earl Monroe New Renaissance
Basketball School for the reading and math programs. He ended raising $60,000.
During the pandemic he and Bobby Portis also donated $50,000 to City Harvest, which is New
York’s largest private food bank. Keep up the great community work!
Diet and Fitness Suffering a broken leg
before reaching 20 years old, Randle got serious about his body throughout his rehab period.
He dropped 20 pounds in his rookie season alone to help his recovery time and protect his body
from battles with injuries. And overall, it worked. He’s been generally healthy since.
Randle even credited Magic Johnson for the way he trains, saying:
“Magic issued me a challenge to get in the best shape of my career—that was something
that really resonated with me and I started to take my weight very seriously from that point.”
After a lot of hard work, “I really started taking conditioning
and nutrition in the offseason seriously.” And as far as what he eats to prepare for a game…
Randle Said “I like a huge breakfast. It’ll be some eggs, preferably an omelet,
some protein. It has to be huge. My chef does a good job at switching things up
with what I like. I’ll take a nap, wake up and meditate again for about 30-45 minutes.”
Love Life Julius is married to
Kendra Shaw who owns her own fashion and apparel company called “Kalore” out of New York City.
After being together in college, Randle proposed to her when the two of them were
on a trip together in Greece They married in 2017.
Kendra recounts it as: “the best night of my entire life. I couldn’t have painted a
better picture. Words can’t describe the way I’m feeling and how I felt at that moment. You
are the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I can’t wait to spend forever with you.”
They have 2 sons together named Kyden and Jayce. The cute couple are still going strong and Kendra
loves being in New York with her fashion line. Net Worth
With still a long career ahead of him, Randle has risen to stardom and has looked like one of the
very best players in the league in stretches. Now is the time, how much is he worth?
With everything going on in his life, Julius Randle’s net worth sits at roughly $25 million
for now. Big Time Beast! ¬¬
