Dennis Johnson was a huge part of the Celtics success in the 80s. He had won an NBA title in Seattle and had a top 5 finish for MVP by 1983. Capable at both guard positions and a six time All-Defense first team selection, Dennis won the Finals MVP award in 1979 with the Sonics.
@msv430@LingYount@MelissaKumanski I’m a life long Celtics fan but don’t live there , my closest team is the Pelicans , don’t have much faith in them. Knicks have a great coach and Brunson was unbelievable in finals
