He did have a great HI-Top fade. I liked Dave Johnson, the same time I was poppin n' lockin with the likes of Kid and Play, Big Daddy Kane and Lords of the Underground.

Man, I miss the good ole(school) days!

I think a lot of people forget how strong of a scorer he was his senior year.

I've always thought it highly ironic that Johnson was removed from games his freshman and sophomore year, in a rotation with Matt Roe. Roe was the offensive player, DJ the defensive stud who couldn't score. Johnson worked at it, developed a decent three point shot, and exploded as a scorer his junior and senior seasons.
