| Trans. May 23 12:00 ET NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas will join former teammate John Salley and Al Harrington at the Virtual Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on June 1. Ahead of the event, Salley spoke with Benzinga about the miniseries everybody is watching.Story by Javier Hasse and Marian Venini.The 10-episode ESPN and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) documentary "The Last Dance" debuted to massive fanfare over the past month. The doc focuses on the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls, as well as Michael Jordan's life and career. In view of the zest generated by "The Last Dance," we spoke with John Salley, who thoroughly enjoyed the miniseries."Jordan was my teammate, my brother and my friend," Salley told Benzinga.The Detroit Bad BoysSalley briefly played alongside Jordan during the 1995-1996 season, but not before having faced him as a heated rival with the Detroit Pistons. The late 1980s-early 1990s Pistons were known as the "Bad Boys," known for their defensive but aggressive style.Salley is then in a unique position: having been part of both teams and being able to speak from their rival perspectives.He admitted the documentary failed to fully portray a crucial aspect of the Pistons: the way this team vastly outperformed the Bulls."We weren't just beating them. We were destroying them," Salley said. "We were just better than they were."The Pistons eliminated Jordan's Bulls from the NBA playoffs for three straight years, winning back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. Their dynasty ended in 1991, and the Bulls went on to win six of the next eight NBA titles. But the documentary needed to have a bad guy, so it allowed itself some... poetic licenses.The Pistons Walk-OffWhat the documentary does show is the infamous moment when, just before the end of a game during the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals, many of the Pistons left the court, refusing to shake hands with the Bulls. Salley said it seemed to him like "a bad move."> "First, [because] that's the way the Boston Celtics gave it to us. But that didn't mean we needed to act like the Boston Celtics. We were the Detroit Pistons. And I felt that we were better than that."He's referring to a similar incident at the end of 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, in which the Celtics withheld a teamwide handshake with the Pistons.Salley was one of the few players who remained on the court to shake hands with the Bulls in 1991."Your reputation is what you fight for, and your character is what you stand for," he said, adding that he "knew how big that was for MJ."John Salley (22) and the 1989 Detroit Pistons.On Court Vs. Off CourtDespite all of this, Salley and Jordan were friends."Everybody else was like, 'You don't hang out with your opponent.' ... Well, he's my opponent on court. [But outside the court] he's a striving black man, just like I am," he said. "We like the same things and were friends before this job. So I was able to separate that."This is why the transition from rival to partner wasn't particularly significant for Salley. He said he doesn't mix things up, and that he doesn't "take what happens off court on court."The professional and personal universes are vastly different. He also noted that a lot of times, in contrast, "your teammates aren't your friends, they are just people that work in the same place." This wasn't the case with his relationship with MJ, neither before nor after playing together.Going back to "The Last Dance," Salley's opinion was that, despite the details mentioned, it's a great documentary, and he personally loved it. He also stressed that, as an audience, we're used to seeing "somebody at the top, but we never really get to see them. And I think Michael let us see him."See more from Benzinga * Why Cannabis Stocks Are Surging To Close The Week: The Coronavirus Confusion * Springbig And Onfleet Partner Up On Marijuana Customer Engagement Platform * IM Cannabis' German Subsidiary To Import 4,000 Kg Of Marijuana Products(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

| Trans. Sep 17 11:15 ET Mention the name Mike Dunleavy Jr. to a Warriors fan, and you're likely to get a sour face in response. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2002 NBA draft never lived up to his potential over four-plus seasons in Golden State, and his seemingly relaxed disposition on the court didn't endear him any further. In fact, arguably the most helpful thing he ever did for the Warriors was be involved in the trade that brought Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington over from the Indiana Pacers. The Scoop: None.
