 | | Dennis Johnson, a five-time NBA All-Star and integral part of the Celtics' 1984 and 1986 championship teams, died yesterday, collapsing after coaching Boston's NBA Development League affiliate, the Austin Toros, in practice in Austin, Texas. |
 | | Johnson leaves his wife, Donna, and three children -- sons Dwayne and Daniel, and daughter Denise -- as well as an extended NBA family that remembers the defensive intensity, toughness, and ability to come through in the clutch that he exhibited during a 14-year career spent with Seattle, Phoenix, and Boston. |
 | | Johnson was traded to Phoenix in 1980 and to Boston in 1983. |
