Lakers Champion Shares Honest Advice for Ja Morant

Los Angeles Lakers champion Dwight Howard has advice for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant

Recently appearing on the "My Expert Opinion" show, NBA legend and Los Angeles Lakers champion Dwight Howard shared some advice for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.

"I don't know him personally," Howard said. "I would love to speak with him about the situation, but it's like - I feel like he has so many people trying to reach out and speak to him, and it's like he probably just needs a chance to just chill. He's 23 years old, like just imagine being 23 with [$200 million] just from the NBA only... Who can tell you anything at that moment? You don't know. So for him, he wants to experience all these things that come with it, and for us who is watching, we're like bro you gotta chill. But we don't know what it's personally like. If I was to tell him, I would say, 'I know it's tough, I know you want to do this, but that character that you want to portray to the world, leave that at home. You gotta be this character, even though it's hard, you gotta play this role... It's gonna set you up for life."'

Howard acknowledged that Morant is in a tough spot, but shared some advice that he believes will help the Grizzlies star get himself back on track after two gun incidents.
