NBA Champ John Salley Talks Basketball, Acting & Life After Sports

Ratings for professional sports are booming! Football is up, the WNBA continues to break records, people are even watching Major League Baseball! But despite record amounts of money flooding into professional basketball the ratings are actually sinking. Really, no Really! And while neither Jason nor Peter are known for their athletic prowess, they both had the same question. Why? Is it the number of games, the officiating, a marketing flaw or has the game itself changed? To answer those questions, we’ve brought in a true expert, four-time NBA champion, John Salley, he was the first player in NBA history to win championships with three franchises and he was a long-time host of The Best Damn Sports Show Period. If he doesn’t know… nobody does. IN THIS EPISODE: Basketball’s success led to a much more competitive sports consumption market. Streaming’s global impact on how we all consume sports. Caitlin Clark’s star power created tremendous excitement around the WNBA. Has the normalization of the 3-point shot broken the game? Refereeing can make or break the game. How NOT to be distracted by excitable spectators. The moment John fell in love with basketball wasn’t on the court. Talking to the Media in the locker room… naked. Cannabis, cocaine, and women in the NBA. How marijuana changed his life… after retirement. John’s scariest life moment was on a television set and what it taught him. *** FOLLOW JOHN: Website: johnsalley.com Instagram: @johnsalley TikTok: @johnsalley22 X: @thejohnsalley *** FOLLOW REALLY NO REALLY: www.reallynoreally.com Instagram YouTube TikTok Facebook Threads X See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
