DJ was a great guy. His idol was Walt Frazier and was cool just like him. Funny story is one time on a Friday night I was out at a club partying away and in walks DJ...so I say right away who won Celts or Bulls ( a rarity that I did not watch a game back then) he said we lost. I said how many Jordan get he said: "I do not know, 50"....since he always covered Jordan I did not know what to say.
DJ was a clutch performer. One of those rare athletes that rose to the occassion in the big games. In the 84 finals he was HUGE. He won game 4 on a jump shot and in game 7 stole the ball and took it strong to the hoops several times to finish the Lakers off. He was a perfect Celtic and will be missed.
RIP Dennis Johnson.
