Mitchell & Ness Kevin Johnson Phoenix Suns 1996-1997 Throwback Authentic Jersey-Purple

Kevin Johnson was drafted in the first round of the 1987 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. After playing back-up for Mark Price in Cleveland for a year, he was then traded to the Phoenix Suns where he would blossom into one of the greatest point guards to play the game. In his first full season with the Suns, he averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 assists, a 50.5% field goal percentage, and an 88.2% free throw percentage to win the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. Johnson joined Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas as the only players in NBA history to average at least 20.0 points and 12.0 assists in a season, a fact that holds to this day. The 1988-89 campaign, in which the perennially losing Suns reversed their fortunes and rocketed from 28 wins to 55, constituted the first of three straight seasons in which Johnson averaged at least 20 points and 10 assists, joining Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas as the only players in league history to accomplish that feat for three consecutive seasons. From 1989 to 1991 he received berths on the All-NBA Second Team, earning Third Team honors in 1992 and Second Team honors again in 1994. Johnson also was selected to the NBA All-Star Team in 1990, 1991, and 1994 and made the playoffs every year of his career after his rookie season. Celebrate the career of one of the game’s best when you sport this Kevin Johnson authentic Throwback jersey from Mitchell & Ness.
