Talk:Dennis Johnson

message: "A weight issue may have been a contributing factor to Johnson's early death"  
Without an official statement (or even official speculation) from the coroner or Johnson's personal physican, I don't think the above statement should be in the article -- it's just speculation.  Readers know there is some correlation between obesity and premature death.  Mentioning it here as speculation is disrespetful.  65.24.249.74 19:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  How many kids? 

message: Wilkens perceived him as MERELY a liability? He called him a 'cancer'. I was never as surprised and as upset at the Sonics coach when I first read that in the Seattle Times all those years ago. I didn't find that article, but I did find this:

thread_title:  A 'cancer' 

message: *In the 1978–79 season, Johnson established himself as one of the best guards in the league, averaging 15.9 points and 3.5 assists per game, being elected in the All-Defensive First Team and into his first of five All-Star games.
:*This would work much better as two sentences. The participial phrases read awkwardly back-to-back. I'm not even sure if the structure of the sentence is grammatically defensible. Zagalejo^^^ 04:39, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Seattle SuperSonics (1976-80)

message: *Known as a defensive stalwart, he was elected into nine straight All-Defensive First or Second Teams,[3] and is acknowledged by the NBA as a "money player"[1] who was clutch in decisive moments, such as playing smothering defense on Magic Johnson in the 1984 NBA Finals, converting a last-second layup in Game 4 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals after a Larry Bird steal, and most importantly winning the 1979 NBA Finals MVP award.[1]
:*Another very long-sentence. Plus, I don't think "winning the 1979 NBA Finals MVP award" counts as a moment of clutch play. You'd be better off mentioning the 32 points he scored in Game 4 of that Finals series; that's something specific that he did on the court.

thread_title: Legacy

message: *During his life, Johnson was also known for his unusual outward appearance: despite being African-American, he had freckles and reddish hair.
:*This statement just doesn't seem to fit where it is. I'm not sure where else to put it, though.
::*Not sure. It was there before I came across this article.—Chris!c/t 18:50, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
