BJ Johnson

[cusetown1]

I used to rock umbros and sambas... Circa 1999/. I made that sheet look good, with shin high socks no less.

Add one of these to complete the 90s ensemble.

I didn't even play or like soccer, it was just the cool thing to be wearing. I think I paired it with a "give blood, play hockey shirt". I was all like, whatever man, I do what I want.

Big Johnson shirts are what the rebels wore.

My dad had them, I was like 6-7 so it would have been a bold faced lie.

Winter solstice baby! Born to play in the "Snow City". A natural fit. (Actually "Salt City" but that's what used to get rid of the snow.)

Get some meat on those bones

With the legendary OGBJ as his trainer of course. Lift in the morning, ball in the afternoon, and eat like a bear baby!

Sandals with socks would not be allowed by my local Fashion Police.

i think the main reason for sock n sandal is to reduce sweat/odor. i don't think anybody will argue the overall comfort and convenience of sandal. the only drawback is if you wear them for an extended period of time your feet begin to sweat which eventually leads to stanky feet. the addition of the sock absorbs the odor while still allowing you the overall comfort of the sandal. unless this is a fashion statement, that has always been my reasoning.

 

[OGBJ20]

I didn't know that this sandal thing could stir up such a conversation. At least the board is well rounded when it comes to topics. :rolling:

Hopefully BJ and his 2013 Class can win more then this 86' Class: 100 wins in four yrs. (80 wins soph-senior season)
I always use this as a challenge for BJ to accomplish and then some in his college career. No sandals/flip flops. Lol

 

[mountaincuse]

I like my labeling of this class as the "CJ Fair class" ... it's a class packed with great players gone unnoticed (and fits nicely with CJ about to be a senior leader).

So, the thickburger class?

Sounds good to me. Just win Baby!

How did I miss this amazing thread?! Also, this thread prompted me to google and find that Fila does still in fact make shoes and clothing.

Anyone else have these beauties way back when?

I'm anti-sandals/socks outdoors w/ or w/out socks. No reason for it other than getting the mail.

I had the blue ones with the white leather accents/outline thing... which I then hand colored red, instead of white, with a permanent marker... nothing like customized sneakers when you are in high school. 90's swag.

I'm not trying to argue but I thought they were the same thing. What is the difference?

The thing that goes between your toes makes them flip flops. Sandles goes across the top of your foot.

Just a tip: Try putting the light in front of your subject.

It was the flash. Lol

Well I was guarding BJ on Tuesday Night while playing 4 on 4 games. (Also watching from the sidelines) Well he must have gotten pissed off and took offense to the old man scoring in the previous meeting last week. I was really impressed by the progress of BJ's improvement on his game from his skillset and physicality. He played strong and fast, knocked down open and contested jump shots both mid range and deep, able to catch and shoot with lift/quickness, he went off the bounce from both the right and left sides with confidence and played sound defense on the perimeter and in the post. During the contests, I tried putting him different situations from a defensive standpoint. He was able to take advantage of the situation (ME) with the decisive/aggressive and correct scoring attack. The workouts and constant gym time along with the strength/conditioning are clearly paying off. BJ actually workout for hours the day of his prom. He is definitely committed to getting better all the time. As for me, I will continue to challenge him but I have to admit that I can no longer take him one on one. From a talent/knowledge standpoint, BJ has moved to another level. He continues to workout with Todd Barnes (strength and conditioning coach) for 3 sessions a week until he hits the CUSE campus by July along with the weight room on the other days. BJ will also being working with ball handling instructor Irv McGill. He continues to workout on a daily basis in the gym.
