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.

Watched that play at half speed and it looks like Salley might have a point. Dennis's leg was over Bird's shoulder and Laimbeer's arm got caught up in it somehow. The best part is the sound at 0.5 Tommy Heinsohn and Dick Stockton sound like a couple of drunks. LOL

Substitute the word “crazy” for “insane” or “blasphemous”. Larry Bird is one of the greatest 5-8 players to ever walk the planet. As great as Luka is, he doesn’t sit at the same table as Bird, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, etc. Maybe when it’s all said and done (after he wins three rings and three straight MVPs), but definitely not now.
