Not long ago, NBA basketball legend John Salley made an appearance on Rachael Ray, who is currently our favorite Food Network chef at the moment. Check out the archives to find out why.

Salley became a vegetarian to reduce his cholesterol back in 1991. This week he’ll be cooking a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast to whoever is lucky enough to get invited to his home.

“I cook for Thanksgiving — they don’t even know that they’re not eating meat,” he said as he went on to explain a dish that involved pureeing squash and cauliflower.

The Veg Star has already brought you the news of how he and other African-American celebrities were trying to get the word out to encourage African-Americans to go veg.

Spencer Haywood once told Sports Illustrated magazine that as a vegetarian he eats a lot of “Sad-ass food: sorry proteins, sorry beans”-food he ate while growing up with less means that what he has today. He also takes vitamins and drinks protein shakes all for sake of being able to live long enough to enjoy his legendary glory.

In his professional basketball player days, he served on the Los Angeles Lakers men’s basketball team and helped them win an NBA title, as well as the 1968 Olympic champion U.S. men’s basketball team.
