During a recent appearance on Gil’s Arena this week, Gilbert Arenas asked Williamson if it’s hard to diet at his age.
Williamson admit that he has struggled with his diet over the past few years. Fortunately for the Pelicans, he has made progress in that department.
“There are times when I say ‘That s— is hard. It’s hard.’ When you’re 20 … 22, a lot of money, feels like all the money in the world man, it is hard,” Williamson said. “I’m at that point now because of certain things, putting back the wisdom around me about certain things, I don’t wanna say they’re older because they get defensive, but I’m just putting people around me with wisdom that are putting me on game with certain things, and just go from there.”
