The Brothers Johnson: Heat’s potent bench scoring duo shares real friendship

The Brothers Johnson, an R&B and funk band in the late 1970s and early 80s, had four albums go platinum and their most popular song I’ll Be Good To You reached its peak at No. 3 on the Billboard 100 charts.

But that was well before James Johnson, 30, and Tyler Johnson, 24, were born.

“I've seen the T-shirt,” Tyler said of the t-shirt the Heat began selling recently that reads “The Brothers Johnson.”

“But I didn’t know about the group though. I have to find them on the internet.”

The Heat’s version of the Brothers Johnson do not have any hit songs, but they’ve been making sweet music together all season.
