A RECORD NUMBER OF NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS, TELEVISION SUCCESS AND PASSIONATE ADVOCACY: JOHN SALLEY

John Salley may be among the rarest of professional athletes. 

First, he played on three championship NBA teams and those championships came in each of three decades.

Were that all, it would be impressive enough but Salley details a life raised by his mother, a devout Jehovah's Witness, that takes him through obstacles and opportunities.

Salley was a pioneering NBA player from a business standpoint, engineering a buyout of a contract and charting his own future, signing on with the Chicago Bulls to achieve, what at the time was, the winningest season in NBA history.

Then, in his move to Hollywood he created syndicated programming and an acting career plus a life as a series regular on BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW.

Now, Salley has built out a lifestyle brand that includes everything from cannabis to mineral water to a special strain of marijuana.

Heather Ankeny and J. Elvis Weinstein join Mark Thompson for the conversation with John Salley.
