## Resource

John "Spider" Salley won championships with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and the Bad Boys Pistons. But he's more than an NBA legend - he's a genuine, fascinating, wise human whose growth continued well past his playing career. I sit down with John 1-on-1 to discuss his origin story, his perspective on life, becoming a successful actor, vegan, and host of The Best Damn Talk Show Period. . .and why he always knew he'd end up living in and loving Los Angeles.
