Former legend Sonics Dennis Johnson has been posthumounsly selected in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He's one of 15 inductees announced this morning at a New Orleans press conference.
Drafted by the Sonics in the second round in 1976 out of Pepperdine, Johnson played four seasons in Seattle. He became a two-time All-Star and a defensive standout with the Sonics and led the team to a 1979 NBA Title.
Johnson was named Finals MVP after averaging 22.6 points per game against Washington. He was traded to Phoenix in 1980 and Boston in '83 where he won two more NBA titles and cemented a reputation as tough defender and clutch shooter.
Johnson died last year in Austin, Texas.
