In this VladTV Flashback from 2021, John Salley shared his thoughts on the NBA no longer testing players for marijuana, and he stated that they should’ve never been testing for it. He explained that the NBA should want their players to be relaxed and go to sleep, like with marijuana, not going out drinking while on the road. John went on to speak about the importance of mental health in the NBA, which led to a conversation about Metta World Peace thanking his therapist after the Lakers won the 2010 NBA Finals. When asked about Dennis Rodman, John said he was unsure if Rodman has mental health issues, but he added that Dennis has trauma from his childhood. John also spoke about Dennis shifting the culture, his relationship with Madonna, and transcending the world of basketball, which you can hear more about above.
