Apparently suffered a heart attack.
unbelievable competitor and totally excelled under pressure.

Very sad indeed......what a great 'team player'.

His drive and leadership pretty much carried the Seattle Sonics to their only NBA Championship in ’79.

R.I.P. Dennis. You are a good man.

Very sad indeed. I feel that he was kind of gyped when he was not elected to the basketball HOF before Joe Dumars (Last year I Think). Dont get me wrong I beieve that Joe should be in there but DJ did what he was known for 10 yrs before Joe. What he did was Play lock down defense within the team concept, while scoring on the offense 14.1 career and when the Playoffs started he took his overall game to another level and was cool as ice in the clutch (As was Dumars)as a integral part of two different teams (Seattle/Boston) to win the NBA championship. As Larry Bird said he never had a better teammate than Dennis Johnson. RIP DJ

He was one of the best that ever played in Seattle.
