Chris Johnson joined the Big3 league with Big Baby and Chris Jackson a few years ago and is now a co-captain of the Ghost Ballers. Never expected him to last in the league but apparently he is doing well.

Funny story, I sat behind him on a plane once. You can imagine what my view was like

Poor guy was in coach and not even in an exit row

Co-captain of a three man team?

I have watched LSU basketball since Rudy, Cookie Man & the rest, but I swear I don’t remember this guy. And it’s not like he sucked. According to Wiki, he is 2nd all time in blocks (behind Shaq). It sucks to get old.

That third guy must feel like the red-headed stepchild.

This can't be his first kid because, you know.

In all seriousness, my son and I met him when he played in the pit in portsmouth, va. That is the long time tournament for seniors trying to get drafted. We met Tasmin and Ronald Dupree also the years they played. All super nice guys.

He didn’t really play much until his Junior year. Not sure why. In today’s world, he would have hit the transfer portal.

I was there to watch Dupree play also and Ricky Blanton, back in the day.

They typically carry 5 or 6 players on each team.

He played really well against UNC in the 2nd round NCAA tourney game in 2009. Had a spectacular dunk off of an alley-oop pass to start the 2nd half. He got a lot of minutes that season.

He bounced around the NBA a little but I wouldn’t say he made it. Took him a few years to get there after LSU. Overall he has played on over 20 different teams the past decade. The Big 3 league has a lot of NBA stars so for a guy like him to make a name there is big.

If you have never seen these games thy start this summer for about 2 months. Watching Chris Jackson light it up at age 50 something is incredible. Big Baby is pretty solid out there too.
