Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls champion John Salley spoke on the two all-time greats
Four-time NBA champion John Salley won titles with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. Winning with Michael Jordan and Chicago in 1996, Salley then won with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in 2000.
During a recent appearance on Gil's Arena, Salley revealed the difference between playing with Jordan and Bryant at the times he crossed paths with the two all-time greats. "It was crazy that we had a plane that had a bar in the middle of it," Salley said of his time in Chicago. "We had the old MGM plane. We had security... Michael Jordan's security used to fly on his jet, land and meet our jet."
On being with Bryant, Salley added, "Now being with Kobe it was different, because I got to go to dinner with him. We go to TGI Fridays, there's nobody really going, 'Oh, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe' because he's only 19, 20. But then he grew into that, what he became. By the time I got to Michael, Michael was already - he was your Highness."
On the ultimate difference between the Lakers and Bulls in those years, Salley said, "The Lakers were way cheaper than the Bulls, which is almost impossible. Like the Bulls had three massage therapists, a swimming pool to train in, four trainers, strength coach."Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
