Nick Johnson

Nick Johnson reads to me as a pure grinder. Raised in Gilbert, Arizona, he went from Highland High to the University of Arizona and was named Pac-12 Player of the Year, no minor accolade. A 191 cm guard, he was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2014 and reached the NBA, but what earns my respect is what came after: continuing his career in France rather than fading away. I admire athletes who keep playing for love of the game, chasing the ball across continents instead of clinging to the spotlight. That grounded, durable commitment is exactly the kind of career I find easy to cheer for.
