Salley recently appeared on The OGs Podcast, where he gave insight on the former Bulls’ duos friendship:
“It’s been over. It was over before the video. At 2004, I knew it was over,” Salley said.
This comes as a shock, as their was no signs of any tension in their relationship in 2004. Salley also commented on his relationship with Pippen:
“Scottie got new on me, too. I thought I was mad cool with Scottie. He changed on me, too. That’s cool, though.”
