--------
In this clip, John Salley reflected on the passing of Michael K. Williams and the legacy he leaves behind. He also talked about how watching the effects certain drugs have on people kept him away from experimenting with them, particularly cocaine, heroin, and crack. John Salley and Vlad left each other with parting words about getting older and aspirations of making it to elderly status. John also offered up a health tip from his yoga instructor before wrapping up the conversation.

In 1986 when Len Bias died-- my dad drilled that into me and my siblings head about the dangers of drugs... I was 12 yrs old. That dude snorted that $hit ONE TIME and died instantly... That's all I needed to know... Never have, never will...

@bennylevine387 2 года назад

I don't think that's actually accurate. Not that it matters as far as how it registered with you. Not doing coke is a good thing. But I'm pretty sure Len had been doing blow for a while and this was one final blowout with his college friends and he did way too much. That's how I remember it.

@seriously5585 2 года назад

@bennylevine387 2 года назад

@@seriously5585 Ok, so for some reason it's important for you to go around thinking a man who died 37 years ago was a first-time drug user when he wasn't? Maybe it was a good idea for you to leave cocaine alone since these your thoughts without cocaine are already cocainesque.

I'm from Toronto and I remember my parents sending me and my brother to NJ for the summer back in the 80s. Basketball coverage was very limited t here back then and I was excited to watch the draft for the first time in my life. And 2 days later I remember watching ESPN and seeing the newsflash: "Len Bias dead of drug overdose". I couldn't sleep and had cold sweats that entire night.

@rucianapollard4057 Год назад

I was in the 4th grade when Len Bias died. It was during the height of the Nancy Reagan campaign, "Just Say NO!". Everybody said Len tried cocaine for the first time to celebrate being drafted into the NBA and it destroyed his heart. It was a grim cautionary tale, but I am 46 and I have never tried drugs or been around people who do drugs!! It's a shame we never got to see Len Bias shine in the NBA, that would have been awesome!!

@thatbemefool 2 года назад

“Had” is equivalent to IF and BUT…… Len was a regular user of cocaine which was exposed immediately after he signed. As we all know, drugs hinder all abilities eventually. MJ IS the stand alone for that era. Len unfortunately made decisions that sadly cost him his life. Check out his 30:30 on ESPN if you haven’t seen it already. The truth came out and it was very sad.

@Grief_Weasel 2 года назад

@@thatbemefool that’s not entirely true, I was 21 when Bias died and I remember clearly the Autopsy report said there was no evidence of regular use of cocaine because regular users over time develop scar tissue on their heart and Bias had none of this and Brian Tribble who went on trial for supplying the Coke said Bias was a regular user but he’s going to say anything at that point to try and save his ass. Also the Coke was found in his intestines not his nasal cavity almost like he drank the coke.
