"Fast" Eddie Johnson (26pts/13asts) vs. Celtics (1985)

2020-11-04 17:29
A 30-year-old Atlanta Hawks Eddie Johnson relentlessly attacking off the dribble as if he didn't have years of questionable behavior behind his back. The fact that "Fast Edward" didn't really ever fall off before the 1985-86 season and the subsequent ban from the NBA really is a bit improbable. Though not an All-Star anymore, his play in this game is very solid. I don't think I've ever seen anyone make so many plays in transition just right after the director of the broadcast is returning from a close-up of the previous scorer. This, of course, is also the Larry Bird 60-point game during which Johnson was one of the Hawks who celebrated on the bench, much to the dismay of coach Mike Fratello. March 12, 1985.
