The former Giants star Plaxico Burress, who infamously did time behind bars after accidentally shooting himself while at a nightclub in New York, has some wise words for Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies.

“If I was speaking to him, it’d just be, if you can’t learn anything, learn from me. Just make better decisions because you really don’t want for him to have that label moving forward being that he’s so young. He has the opportunity to be the face of the NBA. He’s that great of a player. You want to continue to see him mature as a person as his game is getting better, and I think that all just comes with time. You know, and being around the right people. I believe he made a mistake,” Burress said, via TMZ.
