Might have been mentioned but his son is coaching San Antonio. John Johnson has two highest scoring games in Iowa history.

I have actually never heard that mentioned in all the games I've watched. Very cool.

49 & 46

He also had two games with 23 rebounds.

Fun fact Luka is the only other Iowa player with two 40+ games.

And there was no 3-point shot when Johnson played at Iowa.

Really enjoyed watching JJ and the Dealers in the old Iowa Fieldhouse. You had to see him play to realize what a special player he was.

Amen, brother. I attended practices most days that year. Amazing how accurate a shot JJ had as it was sooo flat & seemed to come off his palm rather than his fingers.
