In this clip, John Salley disagreed with Sebastian Telfair's claims about the issues surrounding NBA marriages and the idea of wives being "gold diggers." Telfair had labeled getting married at a young age as one of the worst decisions of his life and criticized NBA wives for allegedly using divorce as a source of wealth. He also highlighted the Joe Smith scandal, where Smith's wife divorced him and took a significant amount of his wealth after his career ended. Salley, however, challenged this narrative, focusing on the hypocrisy in Telfair's comments. He noted that players often display their wealth to attract these types of women but then complain when these women are attracted to the wealth. He expressed regret at marrying too young, conceding that it took away some of his wife's youth. Salley advocated for more financial wisdom, suggesting players secure their money through trusts and prenups.
