Item Description
Bring home the best of basketball with this signed photo of Brooklyn Nets head coach Avery Johnson! Your prize is a piece of basketball history from the Nets' NJ days, and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity.
Avery has been with the Nets since before their move from the Jersey side. During his playing days, Johnson was known as the "Little General" for his small (by NBA standards) stature, his leadership skills as a point guard and floor general, and his close friendship with former San Antonio Spurs teammate David "The Admiral" Robinson.
Beyond his record as a spectacular player and coach, Johnson is beloved as a man of integrity. Johnson married his wife Cassandra in July of 1991 in New Orleans. They have two children, Christianne and Avery Jr. He has a strong passion for men's ministry, and financially and spiritually supports many church programs in New Orleans, Houston and Dallas. His motivational speeches are in high demand at churches and schools across the nation. In October 2005, he was co-host of the Katrina Rescue Ride to benefit the Salvation Army and the Red Cross' relief efforts of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Johnson serves as a member of the board of directors of Project Turn Around, a faith based organization dedicated to address the social needs of urban youth and their families in the Dallas area. He also serves as a member of the board of directors of Hunger Busters, an organization dedicated to bringing freshly made meals with compassion to hungry and homeless people on the streets of Dallas.
Celebrate the very best of basketball with this exclusive prize!
