It’s really striking when you look back at old Boston Celtics videos - meaning from the Bird era - about how many players, when asked to name their best teammate, say Dennis Johnson.
The funny thing is that in his first two stops, with Seattle and Phoenix, he got a lot of criticism for supposedly being a bad teammate.
That reputation followed him to the Celtics, where he finally shook it because he fit that team like a glove.
Playing with Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Danny Ainge, among many other outstanding players, Johnson excelled.
