The headline said "Ex-NBA Star Johnson Dies at 52." Johnson is a common name. It can't be Dennis Johnson. I click the link. Not DJ, can't be. Of course, it is.
It felt getting kicked in the head. DJ. #3. One of the smartest and toughest guys ever to play the game. He was the indispensable man who always got himself into the right place at the right time. I can still hear Johnny Most: "Now there's a steal by Bird, underneath to DJ, lays it up and in!" Well, Johnny's gone, Red's gone, and now DJ is gone too. And with them dies a little bit of my youth.
