Who is Plaxico Burress? What did he say on Ja Morant’s gun incident
Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant has been the center of attention around the world of professional sports. Some of the latest former star athletes to chime in on the situation have included former NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress.
Burress was a rising star in the NFL as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. Burress caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLII. That was before he suffered an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound in a club in New York City.
Due to strict state laws involving gun possession in New York, Burress was holding a weapon without a license. He would eventually plead guilty to carrying a weapon and had to spend two years in prison.
Ja Morant has been suspended after showcasing a firearm on Instagram Live last weekend. The sporting world has stressed concerns for Morant, who has become one of the top rising superstars in the league. Appearing on "The Carton Show," Plaxico Burress said he hopes that Morant can at least learn from his personal mistakes that he made during his career.
"If you can't learn anything, learn from me..."
"Make better decisions because you really don't want for him to have that label being that he's so young. He has the opportunity to be the face of the NBA. He's that great of a player."
