John Salley Agrees with Jalen Rose: I Hate on Jordan Because I'm a "Bad Boy" / John Salley shared his thoughts on Jalen Rose telling VladTV that Salley needed to be drug tested for saying that Scottie Pippen is the most skilled NBA player that he ever played against. Salley explained that Jalen is "100% right" in his assessment that John's role as a member of the Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys" is the reason he can't say Jordan is the most skilled.

John Salley: Magic, Not Jordan, was the Reason Isiah Thomas Didn't Make the Dream Team / In this clip, John Salley explained where the origin of the perceived beef between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas started. According to John, it was sparked by Isiah's nephew wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey which made Isiah develop a certain disdain for the Bulls. But John explained further that it wasn't personal. He also said that the story of MJ keeping Isiah off the Dream Team was a myth and in fact, it was Magic Johnson's doing which kept him from making the Olympic squad.
Later on, John Salley talked about the Bulls becoming a force only after Scottie Pippen assumed more responsibility and that the narrative around the "Bad Boys" of the Detroit Pistons was started by Phil Jackson.
