Former Lakers Star Offended Millionaire Comedian Martin Lawrence With Concerning Comments On His Prenup

John Salley is one of the most accomplished role players in the history of the NBA. The forward embraced his role like a true professional and carved himself a pretty successful career by winning 4 NBA championships. He was never an All-Star, but his tough approach to the game and glue guy mindset helped him win multiple championships.

The journeyman played for 5 different NBA franchises. Salley became the first player in NBA history to lift a championship with three different teams. Moreover, he is also a member of an elite company since he and Tim Duncan are the only two players to lift NBA titles in 3 decades.

After hanging his jersey, he found success and fame off the court. He polished his acting chops and was featured in a number of movies. Just like he played his initial and best years in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys”, he got his acting break in the blockbuster “Bad Boys” series. It’s reasonable to assume that it was predestined.

On “The Rich Eisen Show,” John Salley was asked how he landed a part in the “Bad Boys” series. While explaining how he landed the gig, he recounted how he pissed off his co-star Martin Lawrence

Salley said, “What happened is, I’m friends with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. I was with Martin though. Martin was upset with me because I just met his new fiance and the first thing I said when I saw her was ‘Oh she’s fine!’ He said ‘I know.’ I said ‘you got a prenup?’ And he was pissed.”

When asked that did he say all that in front of Martin Lawrence’s fiance, Salley added “Exactly what he (Martin) said! I don’t understand what the problem is. I’m talking about her. I didn’t understand that it was a bad thing. I wanted her to know I’m thinking out and looking out for my boy.”

Salley then went on to explain how upset Martin was. He thought that Salley had disrespected him in front of his girlfriend, to which he responded that he did not intend to be disrespectful and agreed to apologize to Martin’s fiance.
