He’s not only involved in the acting business but also bidding for a career in American Football with USC. Hence, the Lakers superstar appreciates his balancing act from a young age. Praising him in the aftermath of their 115-105 win against the Memphis Grizzlies, he said –
“I think more important than anything, he’s just a great kid. You know, being on set with him and having great conversations about not only acting but also family and sports and things of that nature.”
“To see what he’s been able to do. Even during these times, signed a huge letter of intent to stay home to go to USC. Congratulations to him and his family. And then to see him do the things that he’s been doing in the acting world as well… he’s more than an athlete or more than an actor.”
