7. Vienas NBA krepšininkas — Detroito „Pistons“ gynėjas
Vinnie Johnsonas — turėjo išskirtinę pravardę, kokios
tikriausiai neturi niekas kitas sporto pasaulyje. Šią
pravardę sugalvojo Danny Ainge'as, taip pagerbdamas
savo varžovą.
Anot D. Ainge'o, V. Johnsonas turėjo išskirtinę savybę
ypatingai greitai užsivesti aikštėje ir per trumpą laiką
pridaryti begalę nemalonumų varžovams.
Kokia buvo V. Johnsono pravardė?

15. Johnson’s bench status became legendary on May 5, 1985.
On that night he earned his “????????” nickname. Vinnie
scored 34 points against the Boston Celtics, hitting 16 of 21
shots including 22 points in the fourth quarter. He led the
Pistons to a 102-99 victory in Game 4 of the Eastern
Conference Semifinal series. After the game, Johnson told
reporters, “ When I get going I feel it even against a big man.”
Johnson’s moniker came from Celtics guard Danny Ainge
who commented in the locker room, “If that guy in Chicago
is the ‘Refrigerator’ then Vinnie Johnson is the
‘???????’. He sure heated up in a hurry.”
Thanks to Ainge, Johnson had a nickname that would stick
the rest of his career.
