About The Author

Tim Johnson is a historian and lifelong basketball nerd who admits to staying up late to watch the tape-delayed broadcasts of NBA playoff games in the '70's. He also cops to rooting for hoemtown hero Bob Lanier to win the one-on-one title held during halftime of ABC broadcasts, and considers Dr. J's free-throw line dunk during the 1976 ABA All-Star Game a physcial feat on the level of Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.
