Dennis Johnson played the last half (seven years) of his career with the Coston Celtics after already going to four All-Star Games and winning the NBA Championship in 1979 with the Seattle SuperSonics.  "D.J." was already one of the best defensive guards, and as a Celtic, he would continue to provide that with four All-Defensive Selections (one First Team and three Second Teams).  Johnson was scoring as much as he had before, but with Boston, he had switched from Shooting to Point Guard, and it reflected in higher assists numbers than he had ever had previously.

Dennis Johnson would take over the starting Shooting Guard role for the Seattle SuperSonics and the super-athletic Johnson would dazzle fans with his dunking and attention to defensive detail.  Johnson was not just a huge factor in Seattle’s first NBA Championship; he was named the Finals MVP.
