    When you hear the stars from that 80s/early 90s generation talk and tell stories. It just seems like just a better league back then. The comradary, the respect for other great players even if they hated them. I think it'll be a long time before that generation will be topped as the glory days of the NBA.

    I don't know why Salley isn't one of the most recognizable, sought after ex-athletes in the world. His sense of of humor is so sly, and he's obviously so bright and quick, he should be a lot more famous than he already is. I like Barkley, but if I had to choose between a Charles Barkley interview and a John Salley interview . . . it's Salley all day, every day.

John doesn't mean he'd be greater than Bird or Havlicek or Russell in a basketball scene. He's talking about fandom and he has a point.
