DJ Dead at 52

On of the clutchest Celtics ever, Dennis "DJ" Johnson, died Thursday while coaching in the NBA Developmental league.

DJ came to the C's already a champion, as the 1979 Finals MVP with Seattle. He won 2 more with the Celtics (1984, 1986) as part of, arguably, the best starting five ever (along with Bird, McHale, Ainge, and Parish).

How can we ever forget his laying in Bird's stolen in-bounds pass from Isiah to improbably beat Detroit in the playoffs?

Rest in peace, DJ.
