Salley needs his own show!!! He’s knowledgeable, a legend, a baller and funny as hell!
And look up what Lisa Ann said about him.
@@jacobwatson3781 link?👀
@@tadah21 sorry, my basement flooded and while it wait for the pump to get everything out I was trolling some trump lovers, got my comments mixed up. Yeah lisa ann had some nice things to say about John Salley
@@jacobwatson3781 🤣🤣🤣
You gotta plays those skits of sally. Hilarious. That Showtime Lakers show is excellent and fun. Totally worth watching, even if it’s more historical fiction that historical.
May not have been accurate, but it was damn sure entertaining.
Facts lol
That is a novel idea for winning time, they should keep the show going by going from Dynasty to Dynasty. Lakers - Celtics - Pistons - Bulls etc… that way you can introduce players as secondary characters and then show how they became superstars and champions.
Isiah should pop up next season...hopefully
Yes!
Great idea. They should make you one of the producers. That is a winning formula that would make for must see TV.
@Jeff Marlatt yeah, but, who's gonna have the fucken balls to play MJ
If they did they would just continue with the lakers
The HBO Lakers show is hilarious. I love the ridiculous portrayal of Jerry West. Adrian Brody as Pat Riley 🤣 John C Riley is fantastic as always.
It’s not real but it’s really funny
I've never seen it, wish they could've stayed more true, allegedly
ya exactly... it's lol lol how angry West is... whether it's a true portrayal or not.. lol
And it's cancelled 😅
@@chrissantos5580 idiots for cancelling that show!
I'm glad Sally said that about West. He was the best GM in all of sports...all sports. He built those teams and found talent in small schools. Other teams would follow West around the country to determine who he was scouting. Many times other teams would draft players West was going to draft.
It happened when TNT did their all time draft too. People kept picking everyone Jerry West was waiting to get lol
He also put together the big 3 in Golden State as well, signing KD before leaving to the clippers. ALL TIME GM
Red Auerbach was. Period. Obviously. Best after Auerbach got done with Bird/McHale/Parrish/DJ? maybe after that. Not even close.
Lmm
red auerbach changed the game. He signed black players no one would sign. Then everyone copied him and only signed black guys. Then red signed the white guys no one wanted. The best eye for talent in nba history.
If I didn't know who Salley is and you told me he's 40, I'd totally believe you. It's crazy how well he's aged, does not look close to 58. It's not just the physical appearance, he's also managed to keep his voice and mannerisms "young" as well. To put things in perspective, Chuck Daly was 58 when the Pistons won their first title in 1989. Think about how old he looked and sounded.
That’s what being vegan does for you 💪🏽💚
@@asiatic1979 That's what money does.
He does NOT look 40. I'll give him 49-50. That's 8 years off
Chuck looked old back then
He just gives off young at heart vibes. He's got a great sense of humor and is like a big kid.
Let's keep it real, Jerry West was very important to the Warriors and Bob Meyers Success!!!! Jerry is the man!!
Made memphis an actual basketball team too
Clippers Got Kawhi and PG13
Because Of Him
@@shastealyomeal Yes 💯
Sal is 100% right about Jerry West when he says, "Without West they don't win." Plan and simple, Jerry West and Red are the two best evaluators of talent in the history of the NBA. And oddly enough the Lakers and Celtics have perhaps more championships than any teams in professional sports history. Why would they do a movie without hiring West as a consultant behooves me. Clearly, they would have done a better job in their portrayal of him.
Pop
They need a white guy to hate in it to make it sell I guess
And he's 100% wrong about saying if he knew they were in the Bulls heads so much you would have never heard of Michael Jordan. Salley is a punk.
Plan and simple is hilarious to me.
You forgot about the Yankees
Great interview! Salley has some great stories that have you listening.
Salley really is great to listen to.
I definitely want to see a Bad Boy Pistons series.....
It would help humanize Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer and emphasize a sense of brotherhood anong his team
Maaaan id fuckin love to see who would play Rodman
@@charlesbelisle8606yup!!!!!!
Detroit needs the good press more than anyone. (Detroit... as in the city itself.)
John Salley had me hollering 🤣. He said Dennis Rodman should have been in Men in Black, I was done!!
Cryin 😂😂😂
John is the best!!
As an Alien ?
@@harrycullen1643 yes🤣👍🏽
I just listened to Mike Wilbon talk about John Salley earlier today, not knowing that the dude from Bad Boys was one of the Bad Boy Pistons. Wilbon said Salley was the funniest guy he ever covered in the NBA and now I can see what he was talking about
Love Salley. A fantastic ambassador for basketball and entertaining as hell. And for those of us who grew up in Atlanta in the 1980s, he and Mark Price will always be known as the players who brought Ga Tech from out of the wilderness to one of the most exciting teams of that era. I’ll always be grateful for that.
Love John Salley - smart, funny and a great communicator. Great to see him.
judging by his shirt, no
@@fkillahcry
John Salley is such a great personality. Imagine if he was on Inside The NBA or a regular on First Take with Stephen A.
SAS doesn't deserve this guy besided molly and SAS would fell threatened .. the man has to much knowledge and brings on a comic take to first take.. first take is dead without Michael Irvin.
Brother Sal should have his own show! “Put some brothers on the wall, Brother Sal!”
I love John . He’s such an honest guy. He’s very good at telling the stories. Entertaining and insightful.
John Salley is one of the few athletes I always felt belonged in sports media. He’s quick witted, funny, well spoken. I remember when he used to pop up on Mike n Mike, I always thought he should’ve been the 3rd co-host because of the great chemistry the 3 of them had on air
Why doesn't John have a show in one of these networks? He's very bright and entertaining
He’s doesn’t do crazy hot takes and smear ppl.
Salley is a gem...He & I have a strong mutual friend...This dude is one of the coolest people in the world...
This man is 58 YEARS OLD. HE LOOKS 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THAT
This man dont look 38 😂 Deff like 45 50 high end.
He’s a vegan, that’s why.
@@TheFn414 let me guess, you’re 20?
@@discosecret6363 32.
👍🏽
John Salley has been following a vegan diet for quite a few years, seems like he's only 10 years out of the league.
Salley is fantastic. Great player and maybe even better as a TV guy. Love listening to his stories.
I've already respected Salley. He's an individual, nonconformist and he's also very articulate. Solid dude.
Except for the shirt. That shirt is BS.
@@916Smoke what about his shirt pisses u off?
@@justinshively9530 who said I was pissed? The shirt is nothing but drivel.
That shirt tells otherwise. His views are the same as every CEO and Most politicians in this country.
@@justinshively9530 It's virtue signaling fallacious garbage. How do you not know that?
@2:13 can't believe they didn't mention Joe Dumars... or did he have a nickname in there?
If HBO had any sense, they would actually do a winning time series for some of the other dynasties / rivalries. Wilt/ Russell? The Bad Boys. Shaq / Kobe ( when his family is ready for that. ) and for that matter, a Jordan era Bulls wining time. ( One where everything isn't being filtered through the PR machine of Jordan himself. ) This could be a 10 year franchise for them.
I think if Kobe was still alive, I would love it. With him gone people gonna bitch about how they portray Kobe. But that’s a good idea
4:18 “We were pissing a lot of fathers and grandfathers off,” is the best part. Hands down.
Never a dull moment with Mr Sally. Start your own once a week podcast man. Easy money.
Please where can I watch the “winning time” series or show that Salley mentioned
I love John Salley, I really do but he came in the league 85' or 86' how would know how someone was or acted 7+ years before he was in the league... people change.
What's funny about Sally's last comment about how Rodman sb in MIB is that he was referenced at the end of the movie. He was revealed to be an alien 🤣
MIB 1 did mention Rodman at the end
Winning Time could be an excellent show to keep going for years. Show the Celtics side of the current show, show the bad boy Pistons, the 90's Bulls, the 2000's Lakers. So many great dynasties with drama, tailor made for TV.
That's is the truth. The NBA characters would be greatvtv. They already are!!
They could keep winning time up until present day.
I'd watch.
Some people are just naturals in front of a camera. And the good hosts and interviewers know to let a good guest just talk. A few prompts and John gave him way more than Rich would've even thought to ask.
Great observation. That's what a great interviewer does.....yRich understands you are not the star.
@@MrDphudson1 exactly. Because of how big anchors became in the 80s and 90s with rise of ESPN, CNN. They were different from the traditional Ted Koppel, etc. It was a new age with more personality. But those people like Berman, Patrick, Chung, etc were just a new generation. They weren't forcing it. Now, every interviewer and anchor wants to be a star like them but they overdo it, don't write their own stuff anymore, don't really care about what they report, and talk more than the guest. Everyone now wants to be Rich and Stuart, etc.
I honestly feel like most of these guys did not watch the show. Jerry West came across as passionate and really most peoples favorite character. Dr Busse was portrayed great by John C Reilly and even delivered a great sad performance especially with the last 2 episodes dealing with his Mom.
Yeah they most def judging it off the the first few episodes.
We need a nba tv serie about the years 88 to 91 with bulls, pistons, lakers and celtics game of throne style
Of course they exaggerated Jerry’s temper he couldn’t have been that crazy the actor who plays Kareem i feel captured his personality stoic quiet and extremely intelligent John C Reilly as Dr. Buss is amazing even the kid who plays Magic is great it’s a really good show.
The nails were perfect, LOL!!!
The character of Jerry West probably made the show more interesting than the real guy would have been
Yeah cause why show the truth if it’s not entertaining….. -2022 NBA Fans
Frfr I like this Jerry west better . It made me like him even more😭
In Jerry's book West by West, he admits to a lot of what you see in the show. Breaking golf clubs, being emotionally distant et cetera. I think some of what he does in the show is exaggerated but (at least) fundamentally accurate to who Jerry was at the time.
Sal's awesome, and I love hearing stories like that about Dennis Rodman.
Stick to your own kind
I love Jerry west irl and I loved Jerry west in the show he was by far the best character
Love Sally! I agree that West wasn’t like that and they hollywooded it up for entertainment value but it’s what kept me tuning into the series.
Lol how would he know he wasn't even in the nba
we need a winning time with Shaq and Kobe during their 3 peat and finish it with the 04 finals
I loved this show !! I hate that it ended . Wish they would renew for a new season and finish it up with the Pistons and Bulls
Love Salley so much, he just seems like he;d be an awesome guy to hang out with and hear all the old stories...
Ignoring for a second how much creative freedoms they took with that show, the story is about more than a championship basketball team. It's about taking the risks and changing the whole experience of a basketball game into a show.
I don't think there's a real story to tell with any other NBA team after that
Last Dance didbit better
@@dontheavatarthat was a documentary tho. Different types of projections famo
I don't know why anybody gets mad about Jerry West and Winning Time. After watching Winning Time, Jerry West now looks more likeable and a cooler guy to me.
that's to you, you cant tell Jerry west how a portrayal of himself should make him feel.
I don't even think a lot of people realize that Daddy Rich name that John Salley gave Chuck Daly comes from the character that Richard Pryor played in the movie Car Wash.
rodman WAS in MIB...or at least mentioned, i think
not much of a disguise.
Rodman was mentioned at the end scene in MIB as an alien from Solaxiant Nine.
That would be a cool idea if they kept running with the Winning Time thing & do 80's Pistons, Celtics, 76ers and finish it up with Jordan 80's Bulls run
you mean 90s Bulls? 80s Bulls didn't do much.
Loving how this season they're also kinda making it a Celtics story as well. Bird has had a good amount of screentime this season.
Awesome Shirt!
Where can I buy it?
I want the winning time bad boy pistons! How do we make this happen!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
Let's do it
Same way we made the first one happen.
They were supposed to incorporate them into the show at the end of season two… before it got canceled 😡
Always loved John Salley.
They did Chick Hearn dirty too. But I thought it was entertaining.
✊
I want a show on the Pistons RIGHT NOW
Funny enough at the end of the Men in black movie they do say Dennis Rodman is an alien
The best Dennis Rodman story comes from Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins. They’ve been friends for years and Dennis came to town looking to hang out. They were in a club enjoying the night when Billy realized Dennis took off without saying a word. The next day Dennis was all over the news standing next to Kim Jung Il over in North Korea.
In MIB, they did reference he’s from a planet known as Solaxiant IX
I’ve been saying the same thing whole time. They did Jerry West so wrong. Fun show, but def got some stuff wrong. John Salley always a fun interview who is a clowner with dope stories and no filter!
Best Damn Sports Show Period! I miss John Salley.
bring back Best Damn !
i remember growing up being like 11-12..27 now,watching that in LA late night 😭
They mentioned him in the first MIB, I think, Dennis Rodman.
Salley should tell this story to JJ redick. He's been talking a lot about how guys had other jobs like being firemen or plumbers as if to imply they could barely hack it playing basketball. Some of those jobs make you even tougher. Rangling cattle like that? No wonder he got every loose rebound. Man was a machine.
Jj reddick is referring to guys from the 50s and 60s. Not the 80s and 90s
Redick was talking about the 60s and 70s in Cousy Era.
You just read the head titles of those news and not really read jj full statement. Dont be a sheep to the media and make your own conclusion.
@@dextew69 not even read. He could've easily watched that whole Redick and Mad Dogg debate period. The debate came about when Russo said Bob Cousy was a better PG than Chris Paul.
@@SupaNatural28 no, Redick was referring to the 50s
The "Bad Boy" Pistons would make for a cool series.
The "White House" Cowboys would also be pretty neat.
The late 70s early 80s Reggie Jackson Yankees, the Oakland Raiders late 60s thru mid 80s, and the mid 80s Mets teams to round it off!!!!
Btw they reference dennis rodman in mib at very end
Spider is so awesome. Please bring him in more often.
I'll never get tired of listening to John Salley talk about Denis Rodman lol
Rodman was referenced in MIB
A bad boys show would be great bruh 😂😂
Where can I get that t shirt that repeats mainstream media talking points?
How the Fk would Salley know how West was in 79? He wasn’t there. West in winning time is freaking awesome.
Great storyteller.
I'll never understand why they canceled that show CWINNING TIME" fucking great show loved it ❤ 😢I'll miss it so much and it shows you the state of the industry now and one of the downfall effects of streaming 😢
what does his shirt say?!?
“I turned 40 again, it’s my 18th anniversary” 😂 good one
Old sk00l but love hearing him tell Chris Mullin stories.
Wow what a great interview. Salley is hilarious.
Sally is a very good comedian
Can we just say Salley is a tall glass of water? He stretches all the way to the desk.
John Salley is one of the most insightful and interesting players ever.
its unreal that Salley just turned 58, man looks incredible...i gotta hit the gym
Not 👏 a 👏 documentary! The way each reacted - Magic deflecting with that smile, Kareem getting deep and picking it apart, and Jerry getting mad and threatening to take it to the Supreme Court - shows you how they're relatively close to how they were portrayed. It's exaggerated, and over the top at times to its detriment in my opinion, but geez.
It makes for great TV, though. 👍🏻
@@johnbrowntheprophet For sure. You'd think they'd understand that, all being basically entertainment icons...
Great points!
Being a douchebag and having dignity are two different things.
Actually, the original "Men in Black" identified Dennis Rodman as an alien.
I really hope Winning Times shows IT and them but also keeps going during MJs era as well, this show can so do much to showcase the stars of the past
Salley is always good, this was great!
Winning time was probably inaccurate but I still enjoyed it knowing it wasn’t 100% true
Where is the Bad Boy doc? It has to happen.
Long Tall Salley, a very bright guy who played many years, telling the public they had Jerry West all wrong. The West character could have been so much more, Zeke from Cabin Creek to the low score at the Bel Air CC. Jerry West is sophisticated, complicated, and a winner. Too bad those producers know nothing of basketball.
winning time is entertaining and also the cinematography of the series was good comparing to other bball series.
You can tell that they haven't watched the series all the way through and all they've watched the first two episodes
Literally every time anyone criticizes Winning Time, we have these weirdos in the chat that act like they know those people more than people who've met/interacted with them lol
@@rulerzigzag sure I guess haha I mean you know more than me... I'll let magic know you're standing up for him next time I see him
@@ChrisMorganComedy pls do and when ur talking to him let him know bird was better
@@MajorTuddy bird might be the best
@@ChrisMorganComedy no
got to do a bad boys winning time!
That shirt though 🤣
Salley being part of Pistons/Bulls/Lakers - what a run
Sick of the dry, point to point, sports documentaries. Winning time is a breath of fresh air far as im concerned.
Salley: Mychal Thompson's job is to make me look good. 😅😅💪💪
At the end of Men In Black they did say something about Dennis being an alien
Dennis was mentioned as an alien in Men in black.
The show is just entertainment value. I wouldn’t look to this for any historical reference.
That girl in porkys sure liked locker rooms
Winning Time is enjoyable to watch, its fun, hilarious, exagerated. If it is not historical accurate I don't care, I hope the tone will be kept for the next season
❤
