You have no choice. If you study it at this point now you got, what, 50 years of greatness, it’s going to work for them,&quot; Salley said.</p><p>Salley added that the game has changed so much that he would be a better fit and enjoy even more playing in this era than when he was in the league in the 90s &quot;This game was perfect for me. I was already running fast, jumping, grabbing the rebounds, and going, and they believe in analytics. If you got the ball, shoot it. I would have killed it.&quot;</p><p>But not like many former pros, Salley has found a way to be even as successful in his career after basketball. He&#x27;s been on numerous sports talk shows and movies. And now, he is getting into cryptocurrency while promoting a healthy lifestyle.</p><p>&quot;I literally took my time on making sure I did the right thing. So that’s why &#x27;The John Salley Crypto Show&#x27; is definitely going to be where it goes. And I&#x27;m always going to stay vegan. And I&#x27;m always going to stay hydrated. And you have to stay hydrated because I believe in cannabis. And that kind of gives you cottonmouth but we&#x27;re not going to get into that! But everything works together as long as it’s the same planet and it comes from the earth,&quot; Salley shared.</p><p>Salley also sent a message to his Filipino fans. &quot;I got to say, what’s up to all my Filipino fans and let me just say this. I know we can run into something but you need to vote me the next president of the Philippines!,&quot; Salley quipped.</p><p>He said he is grateful for all the love and support he has gotten from Filipinos around the world.</p>

Four-time NBA champion John Salley sends his love to Filipino basketball fans and says he’s not surprised to see how Fil-Ams like Jalen Green and Jordan Clarkson are putting up big numbers.
