Johnson was asked which team was most interested in him as the NBA season resumed. The former coach replied that he thought the Mavericks could make it to the NBA Finals.
–
“Looking at the list of remaining games, the Mavericks are in the middle between the teams with the easiest and heaviest schedules. They will play against four teams that are not currently in the playoffs. I really want to see the Mavericks team,” Johnson said.
–
“They have Luka Dončič, who is” walking triple-double“He’s so interesting to watch. He’ll be in the playoffs for the first time,” said the former Mavericks club coach and player.
–
Johnson compared Dončič and Porziņģis to superheroes Batman and Robin. He believes that the tandem of Latvian and Slovenian basketball players is one of the best duets in the NBA.
–
“Put these guys in a series of seven games, and the Mavericks are a team that could potentially make it to the NBA Finals,” Johnson said.
–
The Mavericks are in seventh place in the Western Conference before the season resumes with 40 wins in 67 matches.
–
“The collaboration between Porziņģis and Dončičs is unstoppable, especially if we take into account a player like Tim Harvard Jr., who is a great long-range performer. It is very difficult to stop them.”
–
Johnson played for the Mavericks in 2002/03. during the season. He spent four years at the Dallas club as a coach – one season as an assistant, three seasons as head coach.
–
In 2006, Johnson won the NBA Season Best Coach award, and in 1999, with the San Antonio Spurs team, he became the league champion as a player.
