Eddie Johnson : The Man Who Put The J in Jumpshot

This is a look back on Eddie Johnson's career. Eddie Johnson had a pure jump shot that helped him defy the odds and become an elite NBA player. Eddie Johnson knew how to run off screens helping him be a 20 point per night scorer. Before he switched into the sixth man role. Where he would win 6th man of the year. All the while being apart of teams going deep into the playoffs.

In 1994-95 played in Greece and won the championship with Olympiacos. One of the best foreigners that played in Greek league

[@joseyeastwood]

Eddie is one of those players who nobody talks about from that time period but the man was a bucket for 17 years very well done Skid.

[@alansnow1129]

Cos they talk about only hall of famer all the time and too much! They need to talk about the solid borderline close to stars like Eddie Johnson

[@coache1nine]

EJ has always been a tremendous shooter ever since he was at the "house". He's an NBA and Chicago legend.

[@Grtdprsn_herewecome]

I remember watching him in the 90s and he was so underrated .. you never ever heard from him. Talk about a guy that can kill you with jumpers and as a shot creator

[@EmoryAddison]

EJ, I remember those workouts at the Phoenix JCC (Jewish Community Center)! Good times...

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. In 1993, friends and I would take turns being a teammate and Eddie Johnson, passing the ball out for a 17 footer, saying "The dish to Eddie Johnson." In Super Tecmo NBA Basketball, I shot with Eddie Johnson EVERY time, and scored 200 points with him!

[@Jett000006]

Awesome video! Hope one day I can see a video of you narrating my favorite shooter of all time, Brian Winters. Fat Lever and Andrei Kirilenko are underrated stars with not so commonly told stories too

[@kingjuju79852020]

Ak-47 was a terrorist on the court take a game over with his Defense. The NBA does not like those guys.

[@terrancewoods3463]

He was pretty solid

[@ΝικοςΕυταξιας]

Eddie The Pistol,beyond cult and legendary status in Greece!

[@Dantana773]

Chicago's very Own EJ should be in the hall of fame over 19,000 points scored he was a walking bucket. Jump shot was straight butter #

[@alansnow1129]

He is borderline hall of famer or sue and the dunbasses on espn and tnt need to talk about players like Eddie way more!

[@Dantana773]

@@alansnow1129 Yeah ok. E.J had a solid 17 year career

[@billyloska9224]

👉🏀👍 Thank You

[@terrenceliburd8655]

Sheeet at one time the Sonics had two of the best shooters on the same team Rickey Pierce and Johnson.💯

[@lou4958]

Great content 👌🏿 but can you say what year your talking about when breaking down the seasons please 🙏🏿

[@seagull2175]

How tf this man never made an all star team?

[@Amick44]

Good question. Unfortunately, he seemed to be viewed and thought of as strictly a shooter/scorer. And he came off the bench a great deal of his career, too. But he played major mins and was in at clutch time, for sure.

[@alansnow1129]

Well that suns team in 88-89. Should of had 3 on the all star team. Kj, Eddie and chambers. Definitely kj and chambers but only has Chambers! They snubbed KJ, and Eddie really. Partly cos they also added Kareem who didn’t deserve to be an all star at all! Kj should been there way more then Kareem! But Magic and Stockton took the point guard spot. Kj should been there more then Stockton too. Or last two spots

[@brickcity1711]

I forgot about him.

[@antonbradley]

Can you put the year above the stats please.

[@ThomasBridges-k2k]

Yeah he was a baller

[@cjbcoleman]

A Fennis Dembo reference!
