Who can’t forget the layup DJ made when Larry Bird stole the inbounds pass and threw it to a streaking Dennis Johnson in the playoffs against the Pistons.  The Celtics were on the brink of losing that game and being eliminated from the playoffs. But with luck of the Irish they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.  Dennis Johnson was a very underrated player in NBA.  Not flashy, just gritty and clutch.  No matter if he was 0 for 7 in the game, he would hit the open shot whenever his team needed it down the stretch.  DJ was part of three championship teams (2 with the Celtics and 1 with the Super Sonics)

Although Larry Bird might have been the man for those great Celtic teams.  Clearly Dennis Johnson was the leader.
