Player exit review: James Johnson embodied Miami Heat culture

Few players over the course of the history of the Miami Heat truly embody the culture that has propelled the organization to three NBA titles in its 29-year existence. Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem may be the most well known, along with Alonzo Mourning, PJ Brown, Tim Hardaway and the classic Heat teams of the 90s.

But the newest addition is James Johnson, the 30-year old journeyman who arrived in the wreckage of Wade’s sudden departure to Chicago. Johnson was signed as a part of an eleventh hour signing spree by the Heat in order to piece together anything resembling a competitive team.
