Avery Johnson gives advice for building a championship NBA organization

Avery Johnson knows a thing or two about championship pedigree.

As a player, Johnson started for the first title team in San Antonio Spurs history in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season, and played under Gregg Popovich for five years. As a coach, he helmed two 60-plus win Dallas Mavericks squads in the mid-aughts — one of which made the 2006 NBA Finals, but fell to the Miami Heat.

Appearing on the most recent episode of the Bulls Talk Podcast hosted by Jason Goff and Will Perdue, Johnson shared his perspective on how to build championship culture, organizationally.
