Dennis "DJ" Johnson:  1954 - 2007

One of the men who defined what the NBA was all about died today.  Dennis Johnson was 52.

DJ was one of those guys you loved to hate, unless he was on your team.  He was hard-nosed as all get out, gritty, and tended to save his best efforts for the biggest games.  He won NBA titles in Seattle & Boston, and was all-NBA six times.

The Realm™ extends its condolences.  He'll be missed.

He was a winner from the word go. And never made any noise or embarassment off the court. A rare bird in this day and age.
