Oh No!

"Multiple sources (including WEEI) are reporting that Dennis Johnson has died from a heart attack today. "

This makes me incredibly sad.

One of my favorite Larry Bird quotes went something like this, "I don't have to take the last shot. But if I don't, the ball better be in the hands of DJ."

Wikipedia quotes Bird as saying Johnson was "the best I've ever played with".

He was just 53 years young.

R.I.P.

I can't help but think that a part of my childhood has died with this all-too-soon passing.

"Now there's a steal by Bird, underneath to DJ, lays it up & in!". As a Pistons' fan, he broke my heart, but he was a classy guy. May he RIP.
