Default OT: Ex-Celtic DJ dies at 52

http://www.sportsline.com/

He died at practice as coach of the Austin Toros of the D-League.

I'll always remember the play where Bird stole the ball against Detroit and DJ was there to lay it in. Also it seems he would always hit the big shot at the top of the key against the Lakers. RIP DJ.

First Red, now DJ. Never mind the record it is a dark year in Celtics history.

Some stats:
Johnson played in five NBA All-Star games and was named to the All-Defensive First Team six times.

In 14 NBA seasons, he scored 15,535 points (a 14.1 points-per-game average) and averaged 17.3 points in 180 playoff games.

Greatest clutch to talent ratio of any BBall player or possibly any athlete.

He'd shoot 25% the first 40 minutes and 90% the last 8.

This is a shock. Rest in Peace.

DJ was one of my faves, hard nosed, big attitude, always brought his A game to the Court... this is a big shock, condolences to his family. Holy Crap this is a dark year for the Celtics.

Don't worry, it should get better when Ainge is fired.

Bird has always called DJ the best player he ever played with. What a shocker, RIP DJ this truly sucks.
