John Salley is a Actor American born on 16 may 1964 at Brooklyn (USA)
John Thomas Salley (born May 16, 1964) is a retired American professional basketball player, actor and talk show host. He was the first player in NBA history to play on three different championship-winning franchises, as well as the first player (and only one of two, the other being Tim Duncan) in the NBA to win a championship in three different decades.
After being drafted in the first round out of Georgia Tech in 1986, the 7'0 (2.13 m) Salley played both power forward and center for the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Panathinaikos BC and Los Angeles Lakers. He was a long-time host of the former Fox Sports Net show The Best Damn Sports Show Period.
Durant sa carrière de joueur, il était connu comme un excellent spécialiste de la défense, et fut le premier joueur de l'histoire à remporter un titre NBA avec trois clubs différents : les Pistons de Detroit en 1989 et 1990 avec Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer et Dennis Rodman, qu'il retrouvera pour être à nouveau champion avec les Bulls de Chicago en 1996 en compagnie de Michael Jordan et Scottie Pippen, et les Lakers de Los Angeles en 2001 avec Shaquille O'Neal et Kobe Bryant. Record qu'il partage depuis avec le seul Robert Horry avec qui il a d'ailleurs remporté son dernier titre. Il a également joué les Finales NBA en 1988 perdues contre les Lakers de Los Angeles.

Eight years after the events of the first film, Miami Police Department (MPD) narcotics division detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey are investigating the flow of highly-potent ecstasy into the city. Their surveillance of boats coming in from Cuba leads them to a Ku Klux Klan meeting and drug drop in a swamp docks outside Miami. The subsequent raid on the Klan members proves to be a disaster; malfunctioning radios delay back-up, causing a firefight when Mike accidentally shoots Marcus in the buttocks, while the Klan members are revealed to be mere small-time buyers and not the distributors of the ecstasy. The incident leaves Marcus to further question if he still wants to partner with Mike, while Mike fears that Marcus may discover his new relationship with Marcus' sister, Syd.

Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) are best friends and detectives in the narcotics division of the Miami Police Department. One night, $100 million of Mafia seized heroin is stolen from a secure police vault. This is a major blow to Burnett and Lowrey, because it was the biggest drug bust of their careers. Internal Affairs suspects that it was an inside job with corrupted police officers and warns the rest of the department that if they do not recover the drugs in five days, the narcotics division will be shut down.
