    Default R.i.p. - Dj.

    AUSTIN, Tex. - Dennis Johnson, the star NBA guard who was part of three championship teams including the Seattle Supersonics, died Thursday at 52.

    "He is deceased and is in our building. He will be autopsied," said Mayra Freeman, a spokeswoman for the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office.

    ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher says Johnson, who coaches the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League, collapsed and died during practice.

    Johnson, a five-time All-Star, played on title teams with the Boston Celtics and Seattle SuperSonics and was the MVP of the 1979 Finals when the Sonics beat the Washington Bullets.

    Known throughout the league as "DJ," Johnson played in five NBA All-Star games and was named to the All-Defensive First Team six times.

    In 14 NBA seasons, he scored 15,535 points (a 14.1 points-per-game average) and averaged 17.3 points in 180 playoff games
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
