Salley was born in Brooklyn, New York and attended legendary Canarsie High School. After his high school days were over, John took his game to the Georgia Institute of Technology, better known as Georgia Tech. What he accomplished at Georgia Tech was nothing short of spectacular. John Salley would finish his career with the Yellow Jackets as the All-Time leading shot blocker in school history, while having averages of 33.6 minutes per game played, field goal percentage of 58.7%, 6.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 12.7 points. In conclusion of his years at Georgia Tech, the institution honored Salley by raising his number 22 to the rafters, enshrining his accomplishments forever.

Re: Historical Gilmpses: John "Spider" Salley

Loved him as a person. Had loads of talent. Wish he'd have been more assertive as a player....I Remember he bought the home of the Catholic bishop from Detroit. Had something like 50 rooms....................

Salley's numbers in college don't seem that spectacular to me. I liked him on those Bad Boys teams though.

Currently, he is one of the hosts of The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Fox Sports Network. Salley hosted The John Salley Block Party, a radio morning show on Los Angeles station 100.3 The Beat from May 2005 - 2006.


In 2007, Salley appeared in the ABC reality television series Fast Cars and Superstars: The Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race, featuring a dozen celebrities in a stock car racing competition. In the first round of competition, Salley matched up against wrestler John Cena and actress Krista Allen.


For a short time, Salley provided analysis for NBC's NBA Showtime.
In 2006, Salley was named the Commissioner of the American Basketball Association.


For a short time in the late 1990s, Salley had a late night TV talk show. It did not do well in the ratings. He is now the host of the new hit talk show that comes live from a club, Ballers.
