1965

Avery DeWitt Johnson (born March 25, 1965) is an American basketball television commentator and former player and coach who most recently served as head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team.

He is currently an NBA and college basketball analyst for CBS Sports.

Johnson spent 16 years in the National Basketball Association as a player, and subsequently served as the head coach of two NBA teams: the Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets.

He led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance and to three consecutive 50+ win seasons.

During his playing days, Johnson was known as the "Little General" for his small stature (by NBA standards), his leadership skills as a point guard, and his close friendship with former San Antonio Spurs teammate David Robinson.

As a high school senior in 1983, Johnson led New Orleans' St. Augustine High School to a 35–0 record and the Class 4A Louisiana State Championship.

1988

Johnson matriculated to New Mexico Junior College before moving on to Cameron University, and finally Southern University, at which in his senior season in 1988 he led NCAA Division I with 13.3 assists per game, an all-time record.

Upon graduation in 1988, Johnson was not selected in the NBA draft.

Johnson spent the summer of 1988 with the Palm Beach Stingrays of the United States Basketball League.

In 43 games, Johnson averaged 1.6 points and 1.7 assists as a reserve.
