This struck me as odd when I read how the Bulls “evaluated” John Salley as a potential draftee in 1986:
“They brought me to Chicago three times, and the last trip in they brought me into a room with (GM) Jerry Krause and (coach) Doug Collins and the trainer,” Salley said on WGN-AM’s “Sports Central.” They made me strip down to my underwear and turn around and checked me out like they were buying a horse. Krause told me he was drafting me, but he lied and took Brad Sellers. That is why I told him I would always play well against Chicago, and I always did.” [ChiTribune]
Yeah, he can run and jump but how does he look stripped down to his skivvies, apparently not as good as Brad Sellers? I dunno man, that sounds an awful lot like how they used to buy slaves way back when.
Ironically enough Salley later won a ring with the Bulls in 1996.
The Pistons play the Bulls tomorrow at the Palace.
