College of Charleston Anthony Johnson Tribute Video (Retiring His Jersey)

Here's another CofC basketball video gem I dusted off my shelf. Anthony Johnson '97 was the College's first NBA Draft Pick selected 40th overall by the Sacramento Kings in 1997. His No. 24 jersey is honored in the rafters of TD Arena. During Johnson's four-year career, the Cougars compiled an impressive 101-17 overall record including four TAAC championships, two NIT and two NCAA Tournament appearances including the program's first-round victory over Maryland in the NCAA Southeast Regional. As a senior in 1996-97, he garnered Honorable Mention All-American honors by The Associated Press. Johnson spent 13 years in the NBA with the Kings, Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers and New Jersey Nets. He played in three NBA Finals as a member of the Nets in 2002 and 2003 and the Magic in 2009. In 2013 he was inducted in the CofC Hall of Fame.
