John Salley Does P90X

I was checking my Beachbody Coach online office this morning and I saw a video about how John "Spider" Salley started doing P90X.

Since I grew up and still live in the Detroit area it brought back some memories of watching the Detroit Pistons play. I remember going to a game when they played at the Pontiac Silverdome. After watching the clip I did some digging around on the interwebs trying to find some classic John Salley and Motor City Bad Boys gear.

Check out that flat top the Spider had back in the day. That is fly. What I really wanted to find was the T-Shirt that was made for each player on the 89-90 Detroit Pistons roster that has a cartoon of them. If you grew up in Detroit you probably had one. Funny thing is that I did have the John "Spider" Salley one. My favorite was the James "Buddha" Edwards one where he was driving the "Buddha Train." Unfortunately I could not find one and I don't have the T-Shirt anymore.

What I did find though was the classic Motor City Bad Boys T-Shirt. There is a even higher probability that you owed this shirt. I think every body in my family had one and I believe I saw my dad doing some yard work in it last year. John was one of my favorite players back in the day along with Isiah, Joe D, Lambs, The Microwave, and The Worm. They were a great team.

Going back to the interview with John he says a couple great things. He mentions how nice it is to be able to do a tough workout at home so nobody laughs at you when you make a mistake. Basketball players need to listen up as he says this workout is so good that he recommends players trying to get into the NBA should do this after practice. That's a strong recommendation from a guy who won 4 NBA Championships. Then on a every body level he says after just a week it made his 45 year old body feel like he was 35 again. If a former NBA star gives a thumbs up for P90X then what are you waiting for?
