A new vegan restaurant in San Bernardino is celebrating its opening on Friday, June 26 with a ribbon-cutting and an evening party. Cafe Organix is co-owned by NBA star John Salley, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers, the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Heat, the Detroit Pistons, and the Toronto Raptors.
Former Pistons assistant coach Brendan Malone, the father of Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone, explained the rules in episode three. “On the wings, we are going to push him to the elbow, and we’re not going to let him drive to the baseline,” Malone told filmmakers. “No. 2, when he’s on top, we’re going to influence him to his left. When he got the ball in the low post, we were going to trap him from the top. That’s The Jordan Rules, and it was that simple.” What happened when Jordan got what he wanted? “That’s when Laimbeer and Mahorn would go up and knock him to the ground,” Malone said. Said Salley: “You have to stop him before he takes flight because you know he’s not human.”
The following year, at 32, McKinney landed his first general manager job with the expansion Timberwolves, and in 1992 he accepted the unenviable task of breaking up the aging “Bad Boys” in Detroit. McKinney traded John Salley and Dennis Rodman but also drafted Lindsey Hunter and Allan Houston. He wept tears of joy when he landed future Hall of Famer Grant Hill with the third pick of the 1994 draft. When the franchise predictably struggled during its rebuild, McKinney took the hits — sometimes literally. During a practice in 1993, guard Alvin Robertson choked McKinney after being fined and suspended for skipping games, practices and rehab sessions.
Enter Salley … who says Zion can turn the ship around if he turns his diet around. “My message to Zion? Go vegan, bro. Drink a bunch of water and find out the best way to heal your body, meaning … not just ultrasounds, not just a hot tub, don’t take pills.” The 4-time NBA champ says Zion was destined to become teammates with Jahlil Okafor, who recently made the switch to “mostly” veganism and lost 20 pounds … and Salley wants Williamson to listen to the vet. “Jahlil Okafor will put you on the whole path on losing that weight, getting your knee back in position and playing.”
