About our guest:

Kris Johnson, of UCLA's 1995 National Championship Basketball Team, and son of 1975 UCLA national champion and Milwaukee Bucks NBA All-Star Marques Johnson will be our guest. We will discuss his father's career on the playgrounds at at historic Crenshaw H.S., his father's time at UCLA and in the '80's NBA, following in his dad's footsteps at UCLA, family memories, Kris playing overseas, and the state of the current college game. I will also ask about the family before Marques.

Marques Kevin Johnson (born February 8, 1956) is an American retired professional basketball player. The small forward played in theNational Basketball Association (NBA) from 1977–1989, where was a five-time All-Star. He spent a majority of his career with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Johnson was a Los Angeles City Section player of the year in high school before attending the University of California, Los Angeles(UCLA). He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins and won a national championship in 1975.



In his senior year, he won multiplenational player of the year awards. Johnson was the third overall pick in the 1977 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. He played seven seasons with Milwaukee before finishing his NBA career with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors. He is currently a basketball analyst for Fox Sports Net.



Kristaan Iman "Kris" Johnson[1] (born July 18, 1975) is an American retired professional basketball player. He was named Los Angeles City Section Player of the Year and won two consecutive California state basketball championships while playing high school basketball forCrenshaw High School. Johnson played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins, where he also won a NCAA championship his freshman year in 1995. Johnson played eight years professionally in multiple countries, winning the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) Champions Cup in 2002 and being named the tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP). He later worked as a basketball analyst for Fox Sports before starting his own sports website, JerseyChaser.com.

Johnson and his father, Marques—who played basketball professionally in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and college under legendary coach John Wooden at UCLA—are one of the few father–son combinations to either each be named Los Angeles City Section Player of the Year or to have both won an NCAA basketball championship.
