NBA champ John Salley spoke to SHOWTIME Basketball about the many health benefits of veganism.

Salley owns a vegan restaurant and has been a passionate and longtime advocate of a plant-based diet.

The former athlete, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, and Chicago Bulls, previously urged the U.S government to ‘remove racial bias from its dietary guidelines’.

He is now advocating for all NBA athletes to go plant-based. He also spoke on the show about different methods of activism and how people can better advocate for veganism.

Basically, he’s our hero!
