Some NBA players are forgotten if they’re not an elite talent or earned their place in the NBA Hall of Fame.
“Fast Eddie” Johnson is one of those players during his career who made the All-star team in 1980 and 1981.
Johnson was known for his speed on the court and averaged a total of 15 points for his career.
“At the time of his death, the 65-year-old was serving a life sentence in Florida stemming from a 2006 sexual assault of an 8-year-old girl. Johnson died on Oct. 26 after a battle with an undisclosed illness, but officials didn’t confirm his death until this week,” per TMZ Sports.
Johnson had major issues off the court … he was reportedly arrested more than 100 TIMES in his life for everything from cocaine possession to burglary and robbery … even assault on a police officer.
