Johnson, the only U.S. player to compete on 15 NWBA National Teams, is widely acknowledged as the most prolific three-point shooter. His shooting acumen led Team USA to the top of the medal platform for a total of nine gold medals and one silver. Additionally, he earned two bronze medals at the Paralympic Games (1996 and 2000), and was a member on the 1992 and 2004 U.S. Paralympic teams. 

He captained the NWBA’s Golden State Warriors team, where the Warriors have maintained a top 10 ranking for 14 of the 24 years Johnson has been with the team. He holds the record for the most three-point field goals in a game with 10. He holds all Warrior scoring records. He helped guide the Warriors to their first final four in 1997 in Birmingham, Ala. He was also named the MVP of the first wheelchair basketball game during the NBA Jam at the NBA All-Star Game in New York City in 1998. Johnson served as the U.S. Women’s Paralympic Games Assistant Coach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September.
