[@LawDog88]

I could listen to John tell stories all day….

[@mobetta2092]

John Salley lived in an affluent neighborhood called Palmer Woods on the Westside of Detroit, which was about 30 mins south of The Palace of Auburn Hills (where the Pistons played). He was the only Piston who lived in the city and it meant a lot to Detroit.

[@MichaelLee-pl4sh]

Definitely

[@MoralesCorner]

That's cool to hear

[@alanfortune3092]

That's true!

[@alberttate8198]

My grandfather would take me to play golf in Palmer Woods. Down the street was the Detroit Golf Club where I was a caddy for two years.

[@earlcoleman1244]

House was nice. That entire neighborhood is nice

[@kincamell]

The first player in NBA history to win a title with three different franchises is John Salley while playing for the Detroit Pistons ( 1989-90), Chicago Bulls ( 1996) and Los Angeles Lakers ( 2000). Ps Gratitude Pps Richard Pryor Craps is one of the best Comedy Albums,ever. Which Way Is Up is one the best movies, ever.

[@salvatorebigpussybonpensie3352]

Which way is up 😂 #TheReverend

[@johnnyblingg]

This would be an awesome trivia question. Definitely would’ve got me, although it makes complete sense.

[@MoralesCorner]

And in three different decades and two milleniums too

[@Tjdoog1]

I love John Salley telling stories. Played with a lot of big-time players and teams. Being part of the Bad Boy Pistons then Playing with MJ and being with young Kobe and Shaq. Great episode

[@suzymeister]

Yo, I love John Salley. He's a really smart guy, and a smart interviewer. He knows how to answer those questions.

[@certainperfectratio]

Those were some good times watching Salley on Best Damn Sports Show Period

[@srik88]

Funny smart caring open minded nostalgia for the 90s and 80s In basketball and entertainment, there's nothing but love for John Salley over here 🙏☮️

[@heavybrandpodcast]

Always grateful for Salley. Growing up in Detroit (pre-AAU days) Salley’s basketball camp gave me the exposure + opportunity to take on young talent in the city like Willie Green (current Pelicans coach).

[@undermarklvnv]

Always respect your interviews, knowledge and game! Vegas love. Thanks, keep ripping it. Met Matt in Sac Town and what a cool guy. Thanks guys.☮️💟

[@cvereen15]

This was my favorite episode. It took us to an era of basketball that was on the wave changing the game. Stories told gave us insight into the players if that day. What I also loved is the progression from player to making plays as a business man and entrepreneur. You young folks pay attention. Take you blessings and let it continue to bless you for a lifetime

[@marcus.6487]

[@fuglyreader]

Of all the NBA videos on KZbin that I have watched over a decade or more, this video is by far the most entertaining and important one...Salley tells stories and anecdotes of his time in the NBA that I have never heard about from other videos...Salley deserves a huge contract from one of the major broadcasters

[@ricebowl3]

John Salley he is unique and a real one

[@waynekerr67]

Just look at the man's dilemma at picking who he'd play with and the "best" starting five. That's how you know he's played with some legends.

[@TheWattsSuperhero]

AD, you had to see him play. One of my childhood b-ball heroes, my favorite free throw shooter of all-time!

[@elbowgang9715]

Him and Mark Aguirre was so cold in that mid post area. AD and Alex English are super underrated

[@TheWattsSuperhero]

As a youngster we would all try to mimick his free routine growing up!!!

LISTEN..... We Gotta Start Giving Credit to Matt and Stak for The Interviews they been doing. THEY DONT INTERRUPT AND LET THEIR GUEST SPEAK.... I've heard John Salley Speak and get interviewed a lot and he pretty much says the same stuff. He is a great story teller BUT on this show I feel like heard so much more and new stuff from him. That's a compliment to What All The Smoke Brings out of their guest..... Continued Success to The Show and Future.

[@javonwilliams2746]

This was a great interview

[@unclejj9600]

The health part is stellar

[@jeremytucker8853]

I tell everyone that 92/93 MJ was the most spectacular player ever. He became the game at that time with all the confidence and the physical abilities to match. He was basketball manifested at its best.

[@jayebeason8882]

💯

[@ronray2893]

all the smoke made a good business move with the timing up of this one. its no coincidence that they drop this episode right after the pivot dropped the Isaiah Thomas interview

Absolutely..... They knew what they was doin....lol

Great interview! I was trying to multi-task but the interview kept calling me back. lol

I wish there were more guys like Salley...he can be completely objective because he wasn't a megastar...and he was a nice guy so he doesn't have an agenda when it comes to his "legacy"...you can believe what he says because it isn't tainted or partial in any way towards former teammates or opponents
