John Salley, former World Champion Detroit Piston, World Champion Chicago Bull, World Champion LA Laker, and presently ESPN's WORLD'S BEST DAMN SPORT SHOW host - lived in the same building as me growing up. He contacted me through a mutual friend and invited me out to meet the whole Piston team the year I moved to LA when they played and FIRST beat the Lakers in the World Championship ... I think it was 1989. It was great experience chillin' with Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Bill Lambier, Dennis Rodman and the rest of the guys and celebrating with them at the hotel after they won!
Years later, when I was the president of Cybererotica - I went to Bermuda on business for the company. I was sitting in first class and it was packed except the seat across the way was open. I was getting settled in and I felt this huge shadow over me ... looked up and it was John staring at me pointing and smiling! We ended up talking old times the whole flight.
Small world shit!
LOL
Also growing up I was friends with Evan Seinfeld from the Thrash/Rap/Metal band Biohazard, HBO's OZ, and is presently married to Porn Goddess Tera Patrick.
Over the years I saw him in LA a few times when Biohazard came to town on tour. One night they were playing the Whisky on Sunset. I was backstage and a riot broke out inside the club between Biohazards road crew and and the guys from Cypress Hills crew. i had no clue what was going on until this guy came into the greenrrom back stage with blood all over his chest. Someone ripped out his fucking nipple ring!
A couple years ago when Evan hooked up with Tera we ran into each other in Vegas during Internext. The night of the Players Ball he invites me to their wedding in Vegas ... I couldn't make it but ended up giving him a ring I was wearing for them to use as HER wedding ring!
That reminds me .. I need to call him and get that shit back!!!
LOL
