RIP BJ Johnson. It was an honor to be around a decent righteous brotha. Loved the Game of basketball, we would talk about the art of shooting the basketball. Pure Joy. Prayers & Condolences to his family

BJ Johnson was one of the REALIST people I’ve met in the NBA…
BJ kept me from going crazy in my first two years…
I was never on a team he worked for…
But he ALWAYS answered my calls!!!
Job. Well. Done.

I’m stunned. Absolutely stunned. First Vaughn McClure and now BJ Johnson. BJ was one of the most generous, caring and humorous people I ever met with one of the greatest basketball IQs to boot. My prayers and condolences to his wife and his children.

Stunned and saddened about longtime Rockets scout BJ Johnson’s death. You won’t find a friendlier person in the NBA. So many players and scouts credited Johnson for helping them find their way in the league.

BJ Johnson of our Rockets family passed tonight. A scout a father, a friend, always a uplifting spirit. 1986 he joined Rockets as a scout and has been in that role till now. I honor my friendship with him from when he lived next door to Ralph Sampson in Va. Your loved RIP HOSS!
