Skip Bayless recently opened up about his efforts to help Ja Morant amid his second gun incident, which landed him a suspension from the NBA.
On his personal podcast, Skip revealed that Lil Wayne wanted to mentor Ja, as he went through his own legal troubles for guns. Skip explained, "Lil Wayne texted me. He said, ‘Hey, can you connect me with Ja? Because I could help him. I’ve been there. I’ve done all this. I wound up in prison on Riker’s Island. I know what happens. I know where you can go wrong and I know what’s right.’"
Skip continued, "I said, ‘I’ll try.’ I reached out to Ja; ‘Would you sit with Lil Wayne? Would you talk with Lil Wayne?’ Wayne would fly to Memphis in a heartbeat tonight. Wayne would private plane it and go right to Memphis if he thought he could save a career and a soul."
However, Skip's efforts were met with nothing. He stated, "I got nothing back from Ja."
