Most underrated Celtic of all-time. Such an unselfish player. Superb defender. He could do it all.

Dennis Johnson could have easily averaged 18 points per game when he was a Celtic, but his play as a complimentary scorer to the bigger guns was his true role. DJ was Magic's toughest defender. One of the most underappreciated players ever.

DJ was a quick thinker and that's why he meshed so well with Bird. Quick, Quick, Quick. Bird does something, DJ understands. DJ does something, Bird understands. Thats why they won championships. Surveys the defense, makes the high% decision. As a kid, waiting for the evening Celtics game was the most anticpated thing. Better than a comic book.

DJ was sooo underrated by everyone, except by Bird and the rest of the Celtics and their fans. Incredibly smart player, blessed with fast hands - he could do just about everything on court.

Dennis Johnson is one of the best point guards ever when you consider his ability to make other players better (like Larry Bird), his ability to defend at a high level, and his ability to be so clutch when it mattered most. He's a finals MVP, a 3 time champ, and Larry Bird calls DJ the best player he ever played with. That's high praise coming from Larry Bird.

Both men had outstanding vision ....Dennis and Larry thought alike, played alike, understood each other and complimented each other and I submit the best duel to ever play in the NBA. What is truly amazing is their passing abilities and how quickly both men reacted and again that is because of their vision and Mr. Johnson is MORE deserving an NBA HOF.

I don't know how Red Auerbach picked up DJ for Rick Robey. It was one of his biggest steals. Dennis Johnson was one of the best clutch players of all time. I just remember with his long arms he could pick a players pocket so easily. He left us to soon . RIP DJ GOD BLESS !

DJ, like Bird, was a damned smart team player. His job was to feed to whatever teammate got into position to score, and only took the shot himself when the defense on everyone else was too good. An absolute pleasure to watch, and easy to see why Bird called him the best player he ever played with.

Flawless player, DJ was a gentleman and a killer competitor with an exceptional IQ. He was Bird's favorite player for a reason. RIP DJ.

Bird loved DJ. He said everyone thinks I made them a better player. When DJ got here he made me a better player.

One of the all-time greats, NBA finals MVP, NBA Champion with 2 teams. Who else did that and of course Bird knew how good he was, "the best I ever played with".

DJ most under rated yet one of the very top point guards. Should have been first ballot hall of fame and should have been in every all star game.

DJ was Boston’s answer to Andrew Toney. He was a top tier, lockdown defender when teams actually played defense. And he was just as clutch as Bird. If the clock was running down and the Celtics needed a bucket, Bird and DJ were options 1A and 1B.

I remember seeing Dennis Johnson in a pre season game his rookie year in Spokane in 1974 when DJ was playing for the Sonics. The coach was Bill Russell. I was not impressed with DJ and thought he would not make the team and of course wouldn't be a star in the NBA. That's how much I knew about talent!! DJ turned out to be one of the best in the world. He was a clean, hard nosed player who always seemed to be able to score when it was needed. He never looked to start a fight, but he never backed down either.

Imagine suiting up to face McHale, Bird, Parrish, Johnson, Angela. And at various times seeing Walton, Sichsting, Robie, Wedman...the list goes on...Maxwell, Carr, Henderson.
