There was nobody like DJ

The best way to judge a basketball player is to ask yourself, "How did he play the game? Did this man leave a legacy? Was there anyone else like him?" Dennis Johnson was such a player. He was utterly sui generis. ()

DJ was Mr. Clutch

Former Celtic Dennis Johnson was memorable on a number of fronts, but mostly for his ability to rise to the occasion when games mattered most.
