A friend of mine worked at the Reebok club in NYC back in the mid to late 90s. Most of the NBA teams practiced there when they played the Knicks or Nets. My friend told me the Bulls were on a whole other level in how they practiced and carried themselves. It was easy to see why they were champions.
I'll tell u this....3 of my homeBoys 2 retired, 1 married & was/is a great dude, another won 6th man of the year Abt 10 years ago & was well known, & the other is still very active.....The average person WOULDN'T BELIEVE the work that I was getting just Being w them.

That Robert Parish story is why I laugh when this younger generation belittles the older generation of stars. Those older guys were _built different_ .
@@chiggsytube He's not talking about being professionals. Those dudes epitomized what being a dog is. Their mentalities were much rougher to their core. Those dudes did not gaf. They were less professional and more like cowboys, and they were hard as nails. This newer generation woukd absolutely destroy the older generation in terms skill and athleticism, but the older generation would destroy in terms of grit and resilience. They both have their pros and they both have their cons. That's why a great mix if the two is how you become loved by most fans, ie MJ and Kobe.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: John Salley (and Rick Fox), has parlayed his non-star playing career into a wonderful retirement better than anyone I've seen. Just a few weeks ago I had Luther Vandross' Can I Take You Out Tonite on my mind, so imagine my surprise when I glance at the music video and see Salley in it. It just proved my belief again at that point lol.
I started watching the NBA when Isaiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons were playing for their second championship title in a row …after they won, all I can remember is that Michael Jordan took over and I’ve been loving basketball ever since❤
John Salley played with Jordan and he played with Kobe. Something isn't adding up, because he was supposed to be "old" when the Pistons lost to the Bulls in 1991. 🤔
@@chiggsytube your not allowed to touch anymore... Its not an improvement it took pyschality out of the game...Different era different tools needed.. Steph would have broken both ankles in the 90s... Stem cell research

This why 90s-2000 is the most physically gifted players. They say today is, but seeing gil react to the treatment is priceless 😂 I'm taking those era players over this new generation.

I love Gil's podcast and John Sally is the ultimate story teller. Nothing like hearing those amazing stories of yesterday. Women (The Work) was freakin phenomenal back then. I remember seeing them back in the day late 80's early 90's with NBA players like Jerry Reynolds and Terry Catledge who played for the Orlando Magic. They had some sup dupa Stars that were straight on another level
I want people to stop saying Kobe was a mirror of MJ. Physically there’s no comparison. People don’t realize how strong MJ was. Not only that no one could grab a ball out of the air with 1 hand like a softball. We will start there. MJ had a 48 inch vertical. Still the highest vertical ever in the league. We’ve had some great leapers 5’9” and under. From Spud Webb to Nate Robinson that won multiple dunk contests between them. Jordan was 6’6” and jumped higher than those guys. He jump so high people literally talked about his hang time and how he floated in air til the defender hit the ground. My point is no one ever had that hang time. The guy in 87 that scored 38 ppg, defensive player of year, All everything else you can think of. Kobe is reminiscent of MJ after baseball. Thats where the comparison starts. When MJ lost some of that raw athleticism. MJ had handles but he didn’t have any wasted dribbles. He dribbles with purpose. People will say Kobe had a better handle which is fine but when Shaq left and Phil left the Lakers Kobe started that iso dribble where everyone watched him. Dribble without purpose is a team killer. Plus Kobe became that 2nd version of MJ when Phil came back to deliver him (2) more chips. The 1st version of Kobe was sooooo damn efficient. He averaged 25 with Shaq and was shooting maybe 15-18 times a game not 25-30. He was Batman and so was Shaq. They were equals. Kobe had to facilitate the offense at the end of the game cause of Shaq foul shooting. He was more Lebron than MJ with the defense of Scottie. I say Lebron cause he could take over a game when needed but facilitated like Scottie. I could go on but you’ll get it
@@Idcaboutyourfeelings24He's not wrong tho. Kobe is by far the most skilled player in the league. Don't forget that Kobe played half of his career with injuries. He's the only NBA player who played with a broken hand, broken finger, torn shoulder, fractured knee and still better than the rest of the NBA players.
Gil is right.... These stories are GOOD MINES, because these young people nowadays couldn't even fathom how players operated back in the 70's 80's and early 90's 💯
The difference is Michael Jordan got his shots in the flow of the offense and he was efficient and Kobe would try to shoot over multiple defenders instead of letting the game come to him.

That’s the thing LeBron is great, Jordan was different. Not even in the same league. Jordan in a sense was human.

John Salley is that Uncle that has lived the crazy life and has a gift of story telling.
This is the type of Gil's Arena that I like. Sadly it will rarely be like this.
Need this vibe more often
its like this in the summer time.. there will be lots of “player x tells stories”
This way better than them talking about the exact same topics as every other podcast
Totally agreed had to step back from Gil for a few weeks because they were basically turning into espn with wild takes, complaining and yelling and fighting about nothing. Same topics every week. Need a topic? Who's the goat and debate that AGAIN for 30 mins to kill time
I feel the same way about Jeff Teague podcast, I can't really sit through the whole thing because half the time they are talking about nothing. I far prefer teagues podcast in shorts since it gets past all the rambling
Out with the old in with the new
Real talk, Salley is super underrated. This man won with Det, Chi, and LAL. That’s from late 80’s to early 2k. Arguably the best time in basketball. Crazy!
There was a time when he would go to a team and they would win the championship. I had a whole notion that he was a lucky charm back in the 90s.
How is he underrated...he was 6'11 and never averaged more than 10pts a game or more than 6 reb per game. Seems like he's a cool guy tho
I don’t think he’s underrated at all, just time goes by and more names join the list so he gets a lil push to the back.
Man this dude was a role player don’t exaggerate
He had very little to do with many of those championships, dude.
This episode with John Salley is my favorite to this date
Yeah he was a great guest.
This should be a life lesson for companies around the world pay and treat your employees right and they will work like it
to be fair... they only got this treatment after they started winning.... so life lesson for Employees and Companies
A friend of mine worked at the Reebok club in NYC back in the mid to late 90s. Most of the NBA teams practiced there when they played the Knicks or Nets. My friend told me the Bulls were on a whole other level in how they practiced and carried themselves. It was easy to see why they were champions.
