Rapper The Game Tells Lakers Fans Not to Burn D12 Jerseys, Ignores Own Advice

The Game is a bit of a hypocrite.

TMZ caught up with the gold-bling-sporting rapper and asked him what he thought Los Angeles Lakers fans should do with their Dwight Howard jerseys now that he's a member of the Houston Rockets.
