He is so good and he he's so powerful to be around. With guest host John Spider Sally. They came up with the phrase jump the shark because of that episode. Every time they mentioned it we were number one for five years after that.
What did I care? That there was a phrase. That's true. That's true. Earlier on the show, Hall of Famer Isaiah Thomas.
Still to come 12-year NBA veteran Frank Bricowski. Plus your phone calls, latest news and more. And now sitting in for Rich, it's John Spider Sally. Yes indeed. Welcome back and I want everybody to know I love Rich but Susie his wife is really my my friend. Like she's she's my road dog. It's my it's my sister and I don't have sisters and um it's it's kind of like uh different strokes.
You know what I'm saying? Like I'm I'm one of the adopted black kids and her very wealthy white family. So Susie's Dana Plato in this? Yeah Susie.
Susie is is my road dog. She was she was like she was like yeah you got to be on the show. We we would constantly have these conversations. I don't know 12 years of doing this show and this is my first time.
No I used to always say I got to get on the show. Um this hour everybody oh I'm loving to be here. This hour everybody my friend um we just had Isaiah Thomas if you wasn't around or didn't get to hear him shame on you. Right.
That's the first thing. Second thing is my other friend that's going to be on in this hour is Frank Burkowski. Now this is an unbelievable guy. So when we talked to him 12 years in the NBA you know it was a lot of one and two years at a lot of places one and two years. He's an enforcer. I used to say to him man what what do you do that you only stay on the team for a year and a half and then I learned how to do it. Thanks.
Get your money get out and LeBron this situation to death. Um so that's that's going to be a great thing and we're going to have conversations about because he and I you know sit around and and talk about a lot of things. We talk about the way the NBA is now where it's come from where we think it's going. Um just great conversation conversation about life and a good friend of mine and I always love talking to him. He's a little bit older than me so I like getting um as I say a lot of information from the vets.
So the vets are still my vets even though I'm a vet and older the older guys still get the respect. Um this summer the past summer I was I was doing um which way I was doing what. No I'm just you were talking about last I was like last summer. Last summer last summer way to go. He gave me he gave me gave me a thumb.
I said they don't hitchhike anymore. I did the sideline reporting for big three and George Gervin and Dr. J were and Clyde Drexler and and Spencer Haywood and I'm seriously you know I knew I was a fan of these guys but I said I was standing there even a year ago staring at George Gervin as if he was going to do something I hadn't seen him do all he was doing was walking. So I'm a huge fan of of guys I used to watch when I was when I was a youngster and I wonder when I'm watching these guys play now everybody I while I was sitting here I realized what happened.
Steph Curry has made the game fun for people who aren't tall because look where he's shooting the ball from he's shooting the ball everybody can do that everybody can throw the ball up to the rim maybe not get it to go in as efficiently as he does but the game is back to being a regular size game regular size before you know you had to be the gods are uh uh Tracy McGrady uh the gods are uh right now the god is is uh um what's another one Kevin Durant Kevin Durant can play god Kevin Durant is 611 Ron James plays he plays point guard when Magic came in that was a that was a phenom so the game is going back to the smaller guy um can you say smaller guy you can't say shorter guy right what is the politically correct things to say tj since you do social the the small man I think that's it the smaller is also all relative Steph is 6-3 yeah yeah Steph is 6-3 yeah I mean I feel like you know I feel like 6-3 I'm pretty tall John like Jason was like this morning when you and I settled up Jason was like it's the first time you've looked small in here like I'm 6-3 so I feel big but I remember one summer I hung out with Tony Parker and Steve Nash you watch them on TV you're thinking both of those guys they're both bigger than I am wow you know it's so but you're bigger than them if you put them together you're you're more around well yeah a little bit yeah I'm way more than the both of them you wait a little bit more Steph Curry's 6-3 really no he's he's got to be like 6-1 I've never seen him in person but that's what he's listed at really he's listed 6-2 well how big is Brown Jalen Brown yeah 6-6 yeah so you know he's more Kobe and Michael Jordan type okay yeah but no but for some reason Steph just gives me small man you know that that jump shot you can throw it up there and I think that's what the allure is the allure is you don't have to go in there and have these unbelievable dunks and things like that has he changed the game for the better yes of that I think Steph Curry's changed the game for the better period and I think he he has because uh those shots he takes he it doesn't look like he's throwing them up it has form he is the same form in every one of the shots and he takes those shots and practice when he's practicing taking those shots that means he's changed the game uh plus they used to take those shots the Celtics were great at that right back in the back in the 50s they those those were set shots he just happens to jump on his yeah definitely I think he's changed the game for the better. They weren't pulling from 28 feet though back then. Oh Pistol Pete was. Yeah Pistol Pete shot the ball in his sleep too he shot it all the time.
Well he was an anomaly though that guy. But you never wonder why um well I I know the reason we don't see all that video or tons of things we don't see they don't see because they can't market it they can't sell it they can't sell a Pistol Pete jersey. It's in black and white too. No he's got Pistol Pete was in black and white.
It's in 16 millimeter. No. It's not black and white. They got it and they have it in color.
He's full color bro. Pistol Pete video? Yeah yeah yeah no question yeah you'll see him you you only see one or two um it's just like the moon landing you only see one or two of that we're not going to get into the moon landing right good we're not gonna good we're not gonna um not talking about it talking about it. TJ how was pride parade this week? I would have no idea to be honest. You got it you got it we had to have somebody there to at least video it I remember when I asked I said hey can I get a camera to go down to the pride video they go we're gonna put it on the best dance floor show I go yeah it's gonna be hilarious you know got it it's a part of life man it's part where I didn't I didn't I wasn't able to attend this you wasn't able to able to go down to I told you I got a car wreck so my car is all jacked up so I ain't trying to go anywhere at this point yeah yeah yeah you do anything not to get gas crash you got to send me over my back is hurting you best damn it's too bad Mike's not here today cuz he worked on that back in the day what was that like the phenomenon of that show I remember watching it in the early 2000s it was awesome I remember I told somebody yesterday I remember Joe Buck said something that was a silly show and I got upset and Chris Rose is like come on man don't you know chills Joe Buck and I was like what like Joe Buck is more important than what we're doing I couldn't get it it was it was a lot of fun because we had comedy writers writing comedy about sports and I knew that athletes were very sensitive I knew they didn't have a lot of them didn't have a funny bone in their body but it really got to the point Tiger Woods didn't want to come on I got to interview him but he didn't want to come on cuz Tom Warner was making jokes but I but he wound up doing interview with me cuz he's you know I'm cool like that and I got juice but it was the most fun and I say this cuz I know these guys are gonna watch right right we have John Entz Weinberg Becker you know like I'm not I don't want to leave all the names out cuz I don't want to do Cahill all the people who executive producers I I used to constantly say to them this is the best job we're ever gonna have to get there well I got there at one the production meeting started one so I get there at 110 and keep the stereotype going bro I'm father time but we talk about other people like what we're doing now right and I thought hey it was gonna be so much more fun we already know what we're gonna say have your opinion and and offend somebody a little bit and that was the best part of it then we would get out of there and they I have to respect I had no idea all the work you guys do to get into a show none had no idea I just thought you get there you show up you say what you say then you leave now it's a lot to it I learned television being at Fox best thing in the world and then you know everybody went over to the NFL Network there was no need for me so I just did movies and reality shows and raised kids that's about it that was how how crazy is Tom Arnold Tom Arnold is one of the funniest people I'm telling you one of the funniest people I've met and it's he thinks it which was amazing cuz a lot of times you get a lot of people and they go oh they're just funny no he literally put his work into his craft and when people were laughing at him and making jokes he knows how to be funny he knows where the camera is he knows what's funny what's not funny when it's gonna hit it was it that was a good thing I got to watch what happens when you put it together and then when you get out get out there and it looks like it just happened no he knew it was gonna happen how it's gonna happen so I learned a lot from Thomas who was it was a he's a good friend too good a good person and and good friend yeah he's been in a bunch of time I mean everybody likes coming on on this show you know even though I'm friends with rich and Suzy I I literally you know couldn't get on the show until I had a movie and that's what he said he said do something worthwhile and we'll put you on the show now now finish parking the car hey you know I meant to say this to you guys because I saw and everybody I was in New York doing Kelly and Ryan name drop you know since TJ's over there dropping we couldn't figure out why you were there well oh yeah I was in New York doing Kelly Kelly and Ryan and auditioning like I'm doing here and you guys were coming out of the sports Emmys and and you got nominated we did outstanding dailies show daily studio show how many how many shows did you go up again there were hundreds total in the category well I mean hundreds category six got nominated okay and and who who wind up taking the trophy good morning football good morning football good morning football on NFL Network with Kyle Brandt and Peter Schrager oh that show is not better than this one so did you guys just wink did you guys don't you guys don't don't know about payola you didn't you didn't pay you didn't pay anybody off well we don't want to be the ones that talk about it but hey since you're guest host yeah like let me tell you how it works right it depends on how much advertising money is put out there and then how many people get to hear it and what's better for the whole thing is not that I mean seriously I watch this show so it must mean that it's good because I don't waste my my minutes you can send a text of the guy who booked you for this guy to the guy yeah hey hey you should have but you should have you know and they're like in real talk like you know saying the the honor is to be nominated it's true because I'm sure if you watch you know we were and riches said this we were very close to really getting the it was almost that the last rights were being read Wow for us and for us to still be here today and to have gotten that nomination is because you see you know the people you see in this studio add two more people at home and that's our entire crew that's that's what we got putting us on oh it shouldn't cost that much then I mean if rich only takes six million and not seven million between the rest of it yeah you know you can fill in the gap you can make this like the show friends you know if somebody if he just takes you know if we were favored nations it was might be there are no favorite nation there's no nation we're gonna be that that would work in hey I tell you this though I was thinking when I was thinking about who was I gonna call and I was gonna call Michael Irvin and what I was gonna do is something that most people don't do and you guys are probably gonna say no but I was just gonna go on my phone in the 11 o'clock hour I think and just just call people no no I think you should do right here's the deal Chris someone will just get casually brought up in conversation all the time and rich knows everybody and he's very good friends with a lot of people and so a name will just get brought up like Al Michaels or something I'll be like FaceTime out right now and he'll go oh no I can't do that to them what if they're in the middle of XYZ I'm like then it'll be even better right he just won't do it no wait well let me text him and see if he's available like no that's not cool giving them a heads up text me and ask me if you can FaceTime me like I'm busy no but like hey we're talking about Shaq FaceTime Shaq just do it what if he's what if he who cares okay so I'm gonna put a bunch of names out and we're gonna say this oh yeah let me just say this again anybody that wants to give us a call it's a eight four four two zero four rich okay just make sure and I see what you got to say I had my boy get on the phone from the D a little while ago but you know what I should hit Charles Barkley he'd probably be attempting to play golf at this time in the morning yeah that's what it is yeah we'll take your calls at the end of this hour we're gonna talk to Frank Bukowski coming up and then after that we'll take your phone call so call us right now and I think I should I did I think I'm gonna try Michael Irvin I didn't get a text back the other day he's gonna say I didn't get a text from you I didn't get a text back the other day because he would have given me excuse and given me seven other people should we FaceTime Tom Arnold number is the same I wanted Deion Sanders on I love Deion and I heard you know he lost a couple of toes so I have to make some jokes about that which this is funny I I used to anything that was really bad they knew I was gonna make a joke about it just to like break the ice can't that's another thing that the the cancer culture doesn't like they don't like you putting comedy in in spots I've been joking about things that are serious which is which is crazy that should be the stuff you make jokes that's right that's that's that's where the that's where the best comedy is in the truth so Dave Chappelle what's up maybe we should call Dave Chappelle that would be amazing if you have a number for Dave well this audience are we Republican or Democrat because I was gonna call like Chuck D and I was brought up as a potential guest a couple months ago yeah man Chuck D loves this game and loves this sport of basketball he loves all sports but especially basketball and I still say it takes a nation of millions is the greatest hip-hop album of all time John Salley just my personal opinion mm-hmm better than Wu Tang I think so I mean for what Public Enemy meant at that time and what they rapped about what they stood for not to swerve but I don't know in 1980 1989 the number you know funky drum that wasn't it takes a nation of millions but that's just my personal hip-hop opinion personal opinion all right did I hear that we had to take a break in the second did he say that we should probably go to break to get to Frank yeah everybody let me tell you I'm sitting in my name is John Salley I'm sitting in spider rich Eisner and his wonderful wife Susie probably has kept saying you should you should get Sal the host used to let us our host that's probably what happened we'll be right back with Frank Bukowski back on everybody this is the rich Eisner show this is John Salley I'm your host of the day and while we were just watching a great Jay Billis I played against Jay in college I love I love this guy really knows the game I have literally was on the phone texting people I went to Michael Irvin again not gonna have I went to Chuck D I don't know I got I got to find somebody somebody to come on in 11 o'clock hour that's gonna be it but right now ladies and gentlemen I have one of my friends on 12 time NBA veteran we have this unbelievable friendship and relationship how it developed and got to this point I

brother what up Johnny how you doing how you living so everybody my real name is Johnny j-o-h-n-e-y and then my uncle's name is John Salley he wind up passing and then they were like we're gonna call

enjoying our favorite cocktail or you know and and we have great conversations so I thought you'd be great on this show today but before we get going you were in San Antonio and in San Antonio I guess I can tell by my haircut it was 1989 19 1990 1989 my fade was unbelievable was it was wasn't so cut well because we were in Houston I mean we were in San Antonio and I wasn't letting anybody cut my hair but if we can put this picture up this is him choking me while he's doing and that's I think that's Eddie Rush right there we called that white Eddie Rush yes Dennis is in the background yes you grabbed the wrong guy and I said Rick I said brick brick the South brick this is sad now brick is a big dude too man he could have you could have just snapped my head off I was like it's out he turned around he said oh wrong one my favorite my favorite part do you realize do you remember grabbing me by the neck and why no one of the big papers and I remember just what you were saying I don't mean I went into it like a blackout and I grabbed the person to me don't kill me don't kill me no definitely bricks of what are you doing now I'm retired I'm up in Montana and we spent their winters in Palm Springs I worked for the Players Association 15 years retired a year and a half ago took my pension I say I'm sliding into home right you are so this is when you mentioned that and I told these guys and they told me just to hold it for the day so you're in Montana that's that was your summer house and then you live somewhere else for your winter house like black folks only have one house and for those who didn't understand my bionics mom and them so come on them so you got to mom in the house and then you got your house and explain how you have a summer house how does that work so I was living in Oregon my son was born in Oregon I moved to Oregon from Manhattan Beach California to be a father to my son for 18 years he when he turned 18 he goes dad I'm out for it we moved down to LA there are most of these I used to live in Manhattan Beach moved down to her most the beach right before the pandemic and my son was having anxiety you know and I was like hey just pump the brakes settle down he goes I don't want to be around these many people I don't want to be and he's 18 at the time I was like whoa pump the brakes we don't even know what this thing is yet and so we're going to bed that night my wife said to me look as adults we can't get our brain around what's going on in this world how can you demand of your son to pump the brakes I said I believe we left the next day and we took off from Montana and we get to Salt Lake and we wake up to news of an earthquake the night before 6.2 which is significant so we're driving through Salt Lake looking for earthquake damage running from a pandemic and I turned to my wife and I'm like when did we become part of a B movie like it's like earthquakes pandemic I don't even know what a pandemic is you know so anyway we hiked over to Montana turns the summer home into a winter home by insulating and doing some projects and then we were here in the winter time and I can tell you how we started looking was in 1986 87 88 somewhere in there Larry Kristo beak who was the coach of Utah and played in the league for a long time was the head coach of the Bucks for a while he was on our team in San Antonio and they scheduled a preseason game in Missoula Montana but Larry had been traded so here we go as a team to Missoula Montana and I started looking around I'm like oh my god this is unbelievable country unbelievable so I started looking so I was good friends with Charlie Sheen at the time and Charlie Sheen the actor with the actor we're gonna buy a ranch together in Montana we did and that's how I ended up here 30 years ago and ended up selling that place and buying a lake house on my own so I live on the same lake as Phil Jackson okay wait a minute you just can't get you can't slide past the fact that you and Charlie Sheen bought a ranch together is that to the bunny ranch horse ranch hunting ranch fun ranch so when I was at the Lakers in 85 86 I had just seen platoon and I go to the game the next night and Charlie sit in the front row and I'm just like oh my god I'm just starstruck because the movie was great and I invited him in a locker room and we ended up being best friends for a good eight ten years was a great kid great sense of humor really generous really loving just you know what everybody saw was a tragedy of late stages of addiction but Charlie's good people wow that's just something so I love I love that that was as you you slipped that one I had no idea that was gonna you were gonna say that so you get this he paid for half of everything and he I think he visited the ranch twice well you got over yeah these jokes that I have flowing right now that's going in my brain I can't drop them off so let me let me let me hit you with this one so brick you and I were talking and we're talking about going and this is and I'm telling you you're gonna love this Chris go love this you said there's no way that curry would be able to drive down the lane unmolested and the word the fact that you ever used the word molested what do you think would happen if he were playing night 80s 90s how long think he would like I'll give you an example and I could send you a picture we're in the Western Conference Finals I'm with Seattle we're playing in Utah John Stockton I never really liked I don't think anybody really liked John Stockton but he was a great great player and he comes in the lane and I would lead with my hands like I'm going for the ball I'll catch you with an elbow if I need to you know it's it's what happens when you come in the lane and you go hard to the hole and I caught him I gave him 11 stitches and he's walking away from me and blood dripping down his cheek and I'm 37 years old at the time I can't do I don't have much left in the tank he yells at me that's all you can do anymore brick that's all you can do I said yeah Johnny but I'm still pretty good at it go fix your eye so it was so do you think the NBA ever blames us somebody said that we were bad boys and I say no there's more guys like brick and Scott Hastings and and some other thugs I'm gonna say yeah but that that lead now you understand these guys are worth 500 million dollars some of these guys are worth what some companies are worth you can't you can't put them on that put them on their back so when you watched are you entertained by watching the NBA now yeah yes and no you know it let me back up for a second where where I put the blame and the credit is on David Stern shoulders when David came in at 32 was the commissioner the youngest commissioner of any major sport he brought in his marketing genius and prior to him and his marketing machine and genius you had to win championships to be a superstar and you can go down the list of Michael and Larry whoever magic and then he came in and said no no you don't have to win champs is the championships to be as a superstar all you got to do is have Wall Street like you and sell sneakers we'll make you a superstar so that's where I give them credit for making us all a lot of money but the game's a little dishonest in my view right it's like anywhere in the world on any basketball court if you're a guard and you go into that forest of big men you get hit this contest nowadays it's like you just go on molested to the hole and I'm like how's that I don't understand everybody Frank Bricowski on the floor let me tell you I was looking at your career and checking out that you spend two years a couple of places one year as a couple of places why was that they just bought you in as a bruiser or did you piss somebody off in front in the front office no well I played 11 years for three teams yeah roughly and the others were pick stops or whatever but you know when I came into league I all I could do would beat people up just bang and I slowly developed a game you know by the time I left I was I was a legitimate three-point shooter I shot 40% 47% I had both hands down low I could shoot the mid-range so I I had I had some skills but I had to develop that when I first got in the league I was just a banger that's all it was everybody and definitely and a choker because you got me right around my yes man I was nervous I was nervous I saw it in your eyes choke one guy you become a choker you become a choker you get it you get it going all right so we have the Celtics tonight up in San Francisco against the Warriors series 2 2 I'm gonna go to my old vet tell me what you think is gonna happen you know I don't even know anymore with the way these guys shoot the basketball and Steph and clay it's like I can never bet against them I just can't you know they can turn it on you used to be you're down 12 15 points you know a couple minutes left the game was pretty much over now it's like well this is just what it gets started for those guys it's like they started I mean John you did you tell me have you ever seen anybody shoot like this where he shoots from not from where he shoots from and we used to have a rule first to a hundred wins that that's out of the window because these guys are scoring a hundred and twenty six hundred and thirty six points so it used to be hey first dude a hundred you know you can you can see it tapering down right not anymore they figured it out and plus if a guy did a dance after he had a shot he did a little shimmy he got touched up the next play that was back in our day that was embarrassing like he was trying to embarrass you we're now everybody does yeah everybody has a dance everybody has a dance hairstyles I I don't even remember getting a haircut during the finals I don't even remember getting a haircut I don't remember anything except having to be back there the next day these guys got hair color their lines are amazing but they are superstars and they have become a walking superstars like an NBA player yeah when I when we played in Milwaukee you walked across the street to the Mecca you know I'm saying if a person got an autograph from you you would like to you know it was like oh okay yeah sign that right but now not the way it is these guys are walking companies I would say and yeah and you can speak to this better than I can Johnny I played in one final they started three games the exhaustion was overwhelming and I wasn't even playing that many minutes where you went four times or one four rings I don't know many finals you went to but it's just that that constant pressure that constant pressure cooker that just wears you down so when I look at clay on the bench and and and stuff and those guys I'm like how do they do it year after year after year perform at their level it's just amazed that that's what amazes me you know my wonderful producer said you went like right you and Dennis Robin going ahead that was that was a tough one was that was that the year that he was in the finals going against them yeah yeah yeah you are exhausted see Dennis is from a planet just outside of Pluto so yeah he's definitely from a different planet he's a different planet and he's a different different human kind of like you man kind of like you I want to come up to Montana but you know I heard that you guys you know everybody has a rifle and we got guns yeah you have plenty of guns and guys walk with a lot of boots I don't have cowboy boots I don't eat meat I don't know if I can go to Montana what size shoe are you I might have a pair of boots you can wear Oh Nike I went to a Shaq rap concert in Kalispell Montana 20 years ago what he if you ask him he'll tell you a funny story we so Phil oh that's right Phil tells that story he came home and Shaq was jumping on his trampoline yeah yeah and so we said how he longs a real close friend of mine who's got his godfather to my son he has a house here also for 25 years we've been coming here so we see a poster in the town we're at Shaq putting on a rap concert in an hour away so we go we I mean like I love Shaq I mean I've known him since he was 15 in San Antonio so we go how he and I and his three boys and we're in the audience there's probably 200 people at a rodeo stadium Shaq comes out and starts going into his rap songs and he sees me in the middle of his first song and it stops him dead in his tracks he just stops the song and he can't believe he goes brick what are you doing here like you're not supposed to be here and he walks to the back of the stage and kind of gathers himself and goes back into the song and he looks at me again like 30 seconds later he sees how long standing right next to me he stops the song again he goes how he long we are dying laughing and then he gathered himself he brought the kids up on the stage and we have pictures of this it's just I give him a hard time every time I see him about it yeah my time you know I've never been to Montana I haven't been to Mississippi either so don't feel bad I haven't been to Mississippi I saw the movies I get Mississippi but Montana is a good state I mean it's a friendly loving state we have a wonderful time the lake we're on is 187 miles of shoreline so it's a huge body of water it's just nothing but fun you'd have a ball ah yeah yeah I heard that yeah yeah yeah I am such a city kid and I would love to but is there a flight or do I have to like can I take a they got a private airport not that I'm bragging about private planes or anything but that you could also run them through me but I had a horse I'm seven foot for a seven foot bike you'd be crazy to watch a horse with six legs my legs running with the horse's leg it's just not gonna go but I and I'm an animal activist I don't know if we have animal activists even ride horses but uh I I get some stirrups I think I used to like riding horses at the circus yeah yeah where's Alvin yeah he's living in England somewhere but we had him up here Larry Kustoviak was close with him I was close with Larry's from this area and we put him on a horse and the horse he got kind of scared and the horse got kind of scared and they started going at it and Alvin ended up underneath his neck with his legs wrapped around on the saddle and his arms choking the horse choking the horse out we saw him running around for a good three minutes which felt like three hours if not knowing what to do the horse not knowing what to do it's finally out and let go of the horse and the horse took off so we didn't see him for four days we won't tell you why that horse was awesome all right hey Frank I appreciate you man and we will talk again and uh stay alive brother and I can't wait to come up to the lake helicopter though I love you helicopter I'm not not doing those long rides all right everybody that was my friend Frank Burkowski for a 12 time uh 12 years in the NBA and three teams that's amazing three teams he said 11 years of three teams but it's he played on some great teams in case you want to know Charlotte oh this should be this should be a great one Charlotte Hornets Seattle Super Sonics see this is why he should be a trivia because you can say he played for the Sonics and nobody would know who you were talking about do you think so I do they've already MBAs already been talking about it seems like he's gonna expand should be in Vegas that's one of them yeah and LeBron says he wants to own the Vegas team so yeah team should be in Vegas Vegas team would be the best he's gonna make that happen and then I think Seattle gets their team back all right so everybody didn't know Seattle used to have a team and then they went to Oklahoma and not saying it was a mistake but I like I like the team in Seattle I love Seattle is one of my favorite places I also find Burkowski kind of his career is weird because he went from being about a four point per game score with Seattle then he goes to the Spurs he bumps up to 16 a game yeah like that's that's a huge a huge jump man and this is the deal when you start letting people play I say this to when you start seeing and I say this to these people who go into it when you start seeing people in the NBA and I hear a guy go oh man that guy sucks you can't and get into the league there's no mistakes yeah we we talk about that a lot nobody maybe in football but like when they when you remember they used to dog was named Brian leaf or Ryan leaf because he didn't let me tell you he's a good player yeah it's just certain places it doesn't click it doesn't mean you're not a good player and I remember I got to Detroit and I'm trying to score and Chuck Daley's like I need block shots and rebounds if not I need a new player oh I'm great at shot blocking shot to rebound and Chuck you got to do what it does what you do to get into it but he was a great player and this is he played in Europe first I think it was yeah for three seasons that I think I think this if you're not gonna go to college and I'm not gonna say anything because it would be controversial I would send my kids best thing to happen with Lonzo Ball yep I'm telling you if you want to be an NBA player you got to play Tony Parker Tony Parker Melo Melo Melo Melo yeah yeah what who did I say you said once I went to UCLA went right by it University of a corner of La Cienega Avenue it was when you when you play when you play Tony Parker's play for his father professional at 15 years old lot mellow goes over to Lithuania few places yeah man it does nothing but make you a better pro he's gonna be a ten times better pro so all those college kids out there they think they're going one and out if I was if I were in their position I would go to Europe and play in Europe when I played in Greece great which guy everybody will be right back with more on the rich items so John Salley everybody welcome back John Salley I'm sitting in right here besides the show and this is a trip that is one of the obviously biggest humans ever ever but he's so he's so entertaining every time I see him like in the commercials or something that's amazing can you imagine how big those hands are oh we've I mean he was here he's seven foot three and he also weighs over 300 pounds yeah but he's shredded but he has very low body fat yeah he's Jack yeah it's it's amazing that is amazing I remember when I met Yao Ming yeah I I'm 6'11 3 quarters 610 and 3 quarters but 6'11 3 quarters and I was looking up and he was like another like half my body so he was like this big and I just kept looking at him and I'm thinking oh what are they doing and I saw a Shaq dunk on him and I'm thinking man massive humans I had a Manute Bo was my teammate I stood next to him all the time yeah in Miami and he kept saying Sal give me some room why are you so close I go I never looked up and I would just constantly do it I would constantly look up at Manute and go this is the most amazing thing and people would do it to me they go my you're a giant I go nah let me show you a giant and I play against Jorge Murasan. And you know when you run into them they don't move they don't move they don't they they they're very it's just now watching that piece I was thinking god I remember looking at that guy's hands thinking don't want to piss him off right all right so this hour we were just gonna pick up the phone and call but you know I didn't want to be dissed so I called Michael Irvin didn't pick up I called Chuck D went straight to voicemail so we're gonna have to pick some I was gonna call Byron Davis but I don't know maybe Byron Scott that would be fun yeah which to see if we can get Byron Scott what's up with uh what's up with Dennis Dennis Rodman I don't know if he carries a phone I think somebody else would be holding the phone Dennis Dennis doesn't um a lot of things that we take for granted Dennis doesn't have to deal with but well you know matching clothes colors things like that we take we take for granted and then it Dennis will wear some cool sweats and a boa and and that call of the night yeah I was saying like he can he can get away with that like you saw him at the top 75 he can get away with whatever he wants to wear I got to think of that I got to think of who we're gonna ring up maybe we could just call it out I'll bring the phone out and we'll just make these phone calls and see what I think maybe Lava text to Tom Arnold see if the numbers the same yeah yeah I should do that Tom on him keep coming out hey what are you thinking TJ I mean Dennis we call out lamb beer no no bill wouldn't get on the show that's a new Mars don't do Mars no okay no no about Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie runs a 300 million dollar company you think he has a chance that's your man's in them though yeah maybe Rick Mahone about Mark Maguire draws I don't know man it's kind of hard to get I try to get him to do something with this this app I was working with you know so I would keep going keep going figure this out hold on and I'm look I'm looking at the the last year you were on the 99 2000 Lakers team yeah Rick Fox was Glenn Rice was on that team I know maybe we should call Glenn Rice that would be pretty good that'd be pretty good I'm pretty good I'm gonna I think I think Rick Fox is on that team what's up with baby Jordan oh man how minor I tried to get back you know when I went when I saw Harold I was playing for the Toronto Raptors I think it was because we sometimes forget you play with the heat because one thing you win the ring with yeah well that in the Raptors I didn't write her what a ring would um but I but I thank you for mentioning that to people I'm saying every team I've ever been on you know don't get it don't get it twisted I was the reason for the winning first player to ever win rings with three different teams yeah on Sally from not mistaken I know I deserve seven championships though and the reason I say that is Jerry Krauss told me Jerry Krauss told me that I was gonna have to sign a minimum contract which was 365,000 and I said no way I know it sounds cocky but Michael Jones making 300,000 a game and I said Jerry you can't sit me next and I'm with him all the time and he can you know he would kill me if I was in it plus I knew I know how to negotiate but it didn't work out and you got to be able to walk away I walked away and he gave it to Robert Parrish I wasn't mad that he gave the position of Robert Parrish cuz I'm a Celtic fan I loved it but Robert only played like 17 games nine games and took 2.5 million dollars that should be in my pocket and retired so that was that that was that so about Dickey Simpkins oh I love man Dickey you know it's a trip with Dickey Dickey Dickey had to sit down when I came on to the Bulls and then his locker is right next to me so I you know young fella young fella you know that's what I would say man I would never get into the young fella conversation he yelling I got it you know and it's a trip because Chris Paul is doing something right now with Michelle Obama they're here in here in California and I was gonna call him up but I knew that where he was cuz I'd already think about yeah that's gonna get to it so this phone calls gonna be great here we go for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments it's something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all-time Hogan opponents Macho man's got to be in the conversation where's Andre for you I've always said Andre was number one Wow because I even going back before you know Hulk Hogan was a babyface Hulk and Andre were able to go in and headline at the New Orleans Superdome at Shea Stadium in Japan wherever they went that was an attraction something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard listen wherever you get your podcasts
