KJ been one of my favorite players growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. I always liked him for some reason even though I was a 76ers fan. This video is fire bro. 🔥👌
As far as his NBA resume is concerned, his output put him in the same All-Star "tweener" category as Shawn Kemp/ Tim Hardaway. But in the end, it comes down to what you said in the video: Sexual assault allegations and way too many of them. My HS coach played @ Cal with him (well, he wore the same uniform, but did more watching than playing) and he never said anything about him allegedly assaulting anyone. I met KJ personally @ his soul food restaurant in Sacramento a couple years ago (it's called Souls and the food is slammin'!) and he couldn't have been nicer. But if homophobic comments from Hardaway are gonna keep him out of the HOF given his resume, then KJ is definitely not getting in. And despite not ever being convicted, part of me is happy that he won't ever be inducted.
The assault accusations mainly, the hall doesn’t want that coming up when he’s nominated. The real question I have is why Chris Webber isn’t in the HOF?? T Mac and Vlade Divac got in before him?? Chris was a much better player than both and his teams got immensely better and made the playoffs the second he arrived. Have you done a video on CWebb?
@@drusif85 That SAC squad was the only team that came with a sick starting 5, and also a hella deep bench (the "Bench Mob") and made Shaq & Kobe EARN those rings.
I also don't agree he had a "much" better career than Mark Price. Mark Price was cracking people nightly. And just when his game was really taking off, he got injured. Struggled to get back, regained for and then got hurt again if I'm not mistaken. Just unfortunate he was in the same division with Pistons in their prime and then the Bulls in theirs.
Dammit....dont remind me....i think Dream is the best center ever.....but KJ did poster him...i watched that game live....i went speechless after that dunk.
The first time I ever heard the word “penetrate”, is was used referring to Kevin Johnson’s play on the basketball court, back in the mid 90s. Now, I’m hearing he tried to penetrate all these women (allegedly). That story about the girl from overseas is bizarre (help her with her acting career? Lol) Its just disappointing because it’s always a bad look for Black men when they have allegations of sexual assault against them.
The answer was a no brainer for me. Can't elect him with all these allegations. Can you imagine the protest at the induction ceremony and potential allegations directed at other current and former players? They are keeping pandora's box closed for know.
Kevin Johnson was a great shooter. I dont have any idea how you can say he had no jumpshot. Ever point guard in the 80 had jumpers not like the basketball of today
@@T.Sullivan 3pt shooting wasn’t popular in that era, KJ only attempted 0.7 3s per game for his career, KJ shot 50% from the field or above in 6/12 seasons, he was a good midrange jump shooter.
I loved them Suns teams and jerseys I had Barkley in the Black alternate, KJ in White and Dan Marjerle in Purple with the sun's starter coat. I wouldn't buy KJ now either
I met KJ when he was mayor of Sac on a red eye flight from Sac to L.A at like 12 in morning...he even stop to talk for minutes...real solid dude..love you KJ
Let me get this straight, T Mac in his prime years with Yao Ming barely got out of the first round of the playoffs, and he's in the Hall, but KJ gets to the NBA Finals, is in the 20-10 club, and is still waiting....yeah, it's all about the allegations.
@@smokeabaguhthat5443 I appreciate the compliment but I did see T Mac. Again....let me know when he led a team out of the first round...I'll wait... meanwhile KJ went to the finals, and past the first round pre-Barkley.
@@arizonaFIREent I guess I am biased being a lifetime sixers fan under Dr j we won 60 games every year and under Barkley we won 40 a year...I couldn't stand him....all mouth and a stat s guy...
I never knew about these allegations. He was a beast on court with, what I remember, being a clean cut image. This is shocking. We have to do better than this as a people. Unfortunately, we are the only group where when one of us does something wrong, it brings all of us down.
“We are the only group” cause we are the original man We are persecuted And we are ran to the ground so no one stands up against a system flat out against them. Kevin deserves not to be in H.O.F. Yet him representing black men... na .. we all taken this L for men in general.
@@Supersupremegang I didn't write these rules nor do I agree that is the way it should be. I am merely pointing out that is how it is for better or for worse. If you really want the answer to that question, you probably need to do a deep dive into the History of our people and where exactly they came from prior to enslavement.
I saw Kevin play in high school, college, and the NBA. His senior year in high school he led the state of California in scoring. Believe me he could shoot.
Man I worked for KJ at St. Hope Academy (non profit organization) when I was in college. His family mainly worked there, great place for his little cousins to grow and learn. I had the opportunity to meet KJ a couple of times, cool guy. Wasn’t impressed by him but yet proud of his accomplishments at the same time. I remember lots of things about KJ but nothing is more prevalent than the LOVE he still gets in Oak Park. His restaurant is there and his patrons love him.
I agree with you on everything except the shooting part. The pg's weren't taking as many 3's in his era. I don't remember any talk about him not having a jumper. Those nasty allegations will most definitely keep him out tho.
When this guy said Kevin Johnson could not shoot I kind of stopped taking this video seriously. Kevin Johnson was absolutely unguardable player if he got you on a one-on-one. He could drive he can pull back and shoot across you over they got was a deadly shooter. You didn't shoot the three because back then guys actually knew how to play without just knocking or shooting at 3 but his mid-range was incredible. Him and Jeff hornacek used to literally shoot their way out of holes in the game... as for the allegation there are hundreds of men thousands of men who have allegations against them. And until women are held accountable and face the same punishments that the man faces except for her lying they will continue to be that way.
Crazy story! LOL. I was on the same plane as Kevin Johnson and his wife Michelle Rhee. We had to make an emergency landing in North Carolina due to smoke inside the plane’s cabin. Strange world! LOL
Kevin Johnson couldn't shoot? Bullshit. 3ptrs weren't his game but dude was one of the best midrange shooters we've seen. Could get any shot he wanted and create for others. The long ball was one of a couple of negatives: injury and height. Had he been 6-3 - 6-5, he'd dominate more than he did. A tremendous athletic and smart guy.
Real talk in 93 when i first started watching the NBA .I was a Huge KJ fan...I had the Converse KJ React Juices..In High School stunting 😅 KJ was dominant especially with Charles Barkley.. They were a very exciting team.
KJ was the man back then. he could get to the basket soooo ez and was sooooo explosive. that dunk over Dream in 94 is still one of my favs as well as the one over Hot Rod Williams in 92
He hall of fame worthy in my opinion he just doesn't have the rings and them allegations is serious maybe thats why he never had any major endorsements
Well it's not the rings if that's the case basically the only H.O.F.'s from the 90's will ne M.J., Scottie,Rodman,Dream,Drexler...no Malone ,Stockton,Barkley,Ewing, Wilkins,T.Hardaway,Mullin,Richmond,Payton got a cheapie with Miami is that good enough ? Guys in the 90's didn't create super team's. Rarely did a star leave or get traded.You hop er d your g.m. drafted well. If it was like now back then Barkley and Payton would of went to San Antonio or joined Houston earlier. I hate the super teams it makes it unfair for 90% the league
BIG factual error here -- KJ was part of "Dream Team II" in '96, who won a Gold Medal in ATL over Yugoslavia, 95-69 -- "Let's get it (RIGHT), Man!" LOL
Nice entry and you're right about the allegations preventing him from getting into the Hall Of Fame. As a native Sacramentan , growing up at the same church Kevin Johnson attended (got his autograph during a service) , there was always an animosity towards him after his playing days . Despite him being a great Mayor of Sacramento, he has the reputation of being a douche . St Hope Academy was his non-profit he ran for at risk kids in his native Oak Park neighborhood in Sacramento. He is also credited with saving the Kings from moving to Seattle. However, his allegations scrapped the ESPN 30for30, highlighting his efforts in the Sacramento Kings staying from airing . Despite everything, he's still the best basketball talent to come from Sacramento. He's just always had a clould over his post-basketball career. Too bad his pride won't let him come clean and move on .

I'm glad videos like this exist. Because it gives the current generation a glimpse into how good A LOT of these past players were, since the cool thing to do within their generation, is to just dismiss any/all players that they didn't see, in order to maintain their delusions about current players when compared to past ones. Hey kids: since y'all are so enamored with CP3, this guy was a BETTER and more athletic version of him. If prime KJ were playing now, under these rules, he'd EASILY be one of the BEST pt guards in the league!
Mark Jackson try to bestow his Christian values on every team he coached in the locker room, I don’t know if he’ll ever go to the HOF, but he will probably never be a HC again
Lakers had a tough time with KJ back in those years. For the HOF, though, probably need more than 3 All Star games and need some end of year all NBA teams. Back then, Magic and Stockton had two of the West All Star positions locked up for years so that didn't help.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work just give him the credit and respect that he deserve a game changer 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Kj lead the Suns biggest ever turn around when he came here and they were contenders every year he was here. They went to the western conference finals before Barkely even came and always got to at least the 2nd round. His college career couldnt of sucked that bad if he was a Lottery pick.
K J was a beast Even If he was not a 3 point shooter averaging 20 pts and 10 assists giving that work to everybody..Also his teams made the playoffs from the 1988 -89 season all the way thru 1999-2000 season. they went too the conference finals before Charles Bakley got to that team, he also was a major factor in them winning. He hall of fame worthy stat wise and winning games wise, injuries messed him up some tho NBA live it was easy to steal the ball with him. Woah never knew he had those a issues with under aged females. that is the main reason he not getting in
Kevin Johnson was a beast...small guy dunking over 7ft centers. this why its insane when fools say Jordan had no competition...that they were all bums...Jus because a player is not in the public alot or famous enough dont mean they wasnt great players... Kevin Johnson is a prime example
Haven't even watched the video yet and this is what ive always said. The thing is those 4 seasons he avg 20+ ppg while averaging 10+ assists pg, took it to another level those same 4 years he made the playoffs putting up magic Johnson type numbers.
Outplayed John Stockton in the 1990 playoffs and Gary Payton in the 1993 playoffs Suns beat the Jazz in a best of 5 western conference quarterfinal playoff series Suns beat the SuperSonics in a best of 7 western conference finals Kevin Johnson held his own against two of the top defensive point guards in the league during the early 1990s
Stunted growth I got a question for you bro you done a video on damn well that every NBA forgotten players how about you doing on yourself so we can find out who you are and how you not in the basketball Hall of Fame
I like your content alot. I actually use it to show my players the results of not listening, working hard and following the wrong people. You are a young man who wasn't around to watch KJ actually play. You should look at the teams and guards he had to go up against in the West & East. He carried the sun's from day 1. Like so many pro's who carried teams, he needed one more quality player or in this case ALL STAR to help put the team over the top. As a player KJ deserves to be in HOF, but his actions after basketball clearly gave killed his opportunity to get there.
I think he’s probably Hall of “Pretty Good” material if you ask me . He was a good player in a great era . The other stuff definitely killed what borderline shot he had at the Hall of Fame . And rightly so I think.
This is absolutely stunning news to me?? I've been following the league since 1976 and KJ was one of the best pgs of his era WOW!!!!! Sexual allegations?????? I never knew about that?????? Unbelievable!!!!!!!!! What a damn Shame!
This is absolutely stunning news to me?? I've been following the league since 1976 and KJ was one of the best pg ive ever seen PERIOD, i thought he was in the hall of fame already?? WOW!!!!! Sexual allegations?????? I never knew about that?????? Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!
KJ should’ve been a 5 or 6 time all star. He averaged 20.4 ppg and 12.2 apg(Third in the league behind J Stockton, M Johnson) in 89 but wasn’t named an all star. He averaged 19.7 ppg and 10.7 apg(Second in the league behind J Stockton) in 92 but didn’t make the team. He averaged 20.1 ppg and 9.3 apg(Third in the league behind Mark Jackson, J Stockton) was named NBA player of the month for April 1997 and didn’t make the team that year. The Suns were a 50 plus win team most of his career. KJ was a great point guard, very underrated.
He doesn’t just have sexual assault accusations, he also had numerous corruption problems during his political career. It was just all around bad. The sexual assault is the worst though
What do you think is keeping Johnson out of the HOF? www.patreon.com/stuntedgrowth

Lakers had a tough time with KJ back in those years. For the HOF, though, probably need more than 3 All Star games and need some end of year all NBA teams. Back then, Magic and Stockton had two of the West All Star positions locked up for years so that didn't help.
Kevin Johnson's KJs was serious back in the day.. Only Converse shoes i ever owned..
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work just give him the credit and respect that he deserve a game changer 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Kj lead the Suns biggest ever turn around when he came here and they were contenders every year he was here. They went to the western conference finals before Barkely even came and always got to at least the 2nd round. His college career couldnt of sucked that bad if he was a Lottery pick.
Do Jamal “The Abuser” Tinsley thanksgiving his triple double was crazy
Kevin “The Abuser” Johnson, allegedly
Nobody thinks Tinsley is a hall of famer
@@princeprince9227 Bruh is this not about the stunted growth the channel is named after?
K J was a beast Even If he was not a 3 point shooter averaging 20 pts and 10 assists giving that work to everybody..Also his teams made the playoffs from the 1988 -89 season all the way thru 1999-2000 season. they went too the conference finals before Charles Bakley got to that team, he also was a major factor in them winning. He hall of fame worthy stat wise and winning games wise, injuries messed him up some tho NBA live it was easy to steal the ball with him. Woah never knew he had those a issues with under aged females. that is the main reason he not getting in
You forgot to mention he had the coldest fade in the game
Anthony Mason may have something to say about that
KJ was not a 3 point shooter but he was solid from 12-18 off the dribble which mattered more as it complimented his unstoppable dribble penetration.
KJ definitely could shoot and was a great all around PG, definitely should be in the HOF
Kevin Johnson was a beast...small guy dunking over 7ft centers. this why its insane when fools say Jordan had no competition...that they were all bums...Jus because a player is not in the public alot or famous enough dont mean they wasnt great players... Kevin Johnson is a prime example
Haven't even watched the video yet and this is what ive always said. The thing is those 4 seasons he avg 20+ ppg while averaging 10+ assists pg, took it to another level those same 4 years he made the playoffs putting up magic Johnson type numbers.
Do a video on Shareef Abdur Rahim. And do you have one on Lorenzen Wright?? That was a tragic story.
This dude was a MONSTER. ISO play at the end of the quarter was ALWAYS money.
Yo that clip of how, where is that from?
SG. Consider doing Alvin Robertson. Good work sir.
Yessir that man was a beast.
Outplayed John Stockton in the 1990 playoffs and Gary Payton in the 1993 playoffs
Suns beat the Jazz in a best of 5 western conference quarterfinal playoff series
Suns beat the SuperSonics in a best of 7 western conference finals
Kevin Johnson held his own against two of the top defensive point guards in the league during the early 1990s
SG. Do you think David Lee is a stunted growth? Keep up the good work sir.
The hall of fame will overlook sexual assault accusations/convictions if you win multiple championships........I guess 🤷♂️
Remember "Winning covers all" even in the NBA.
K.J was legit I had his converse K.Js was fire
He use to give magic the business!
Kevin Johnson is my favorite point guards in the top 50 point guards
Stunted growth I got a question for you bro you done a video on damn well that every NBA forgotten players how about you doing on yourself so we can find out who you are and how you not in the basketball Hall of Fame
I did bro. Go to "my Stunted Growth Story" Playlist
I like your content alot. I actually use it to show my players the results of not listening, working hard and following the wrong people.
You are a young man who wasn't around to watch KJ actually play. You should look at the teams and guards he had to go up against in the West & East. He carried the sun's from day 1. Like so many pro's who carried teams, he needed one more quality player or in this case ALL STAR to help put the team over the top. As a player KJ deserves to be in HOF, but his actions after basketball clearly gave killed his opportunity to get there.
I grew up watching KJ. He was the face of that Suns team and he was a top guard for years. Was a bucket.
Nick Van Exel might be another stunted growth. Good work bro. Peace ✌️
Nick Van Exel or Sam Cassell who was better? Thats a tough one.
@@RaiderGannon12 Yes sir. I agree bro.
@@RaiderGannon12 Good observation brother. I forgot about Sam Cassell. Good work sir.
@@ericmcmillan3196 I always like to compare 2 players to each other thats hard to choose from, and have someone pick.
I think he got one on Nick Van Exel
I think he’s probably Hall of “Pretty Good” material if you ask me . He was a good player in a great era . The other stuff definitely killed what borderline shot he had at the Hall of Fame . And rightly so I think.
Yea if he's guilty Def rightfully so
He's one of the best point guards of all time, there also is a LOT of evidence that give credence to the sexual/child predator allegations.
I remember Kevin Johnson from NBA Jam
That was the game, when it came out a lot of people would put their quarters or tokens in and would pick the Suns, Bulls, Magic and Hornets.
Wow KJ can't shoot! 😂🤣😂🤣 I'm done! Mid range was nasty!
Crazy these allegations didn't keep him from being mayor but the HOF is out of the question 😂
Right?
That dunk on hot rod williams was sick
Can you do a video about cedric ceballos
One of my favorite players,he'd destroy you on court! Enough said he is Hof!
I know Doug Smith not hall of famer i just wanna know what happened to'em and whr is he now in life???
Could you do Vin Baker...What the hell happen.
You can catch him at Starbucks
When I saw who it was, I knew you were going to show the Hakeem dunk
That just means Blake Griffin still has a chance
wow I didn't know he wasn't a shooter
this is good info!
This is absolutely stunning news to me?? I've been following the league since 1976 and KJ was one of the best pgs of his era WOW!!!!! Sexual allegations?????? I never knew about that?????? Unbelievable!!!!!!!!! What a damn Shame!
This is absolutely stunning news to me?? I've been following the league since 1976 and KJ was one of the best pg ive ever seen PERIOD, i thought he was in the hall of fame already?? WOW!!!!! Sexual allegations?????? I never knew about that?????? Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!
I never knew this. He's never getting in the Hall.
KJ should’ve been a 5 or 6 time all star. He averaged 20.4 ppg and 12.2 apg(Third in the league behind J Stockton, M Johnson) in 89 but wasn’t named an all star. He averaged 19.7 ppg and 10.7 apg(Second in the league behind J Stockton) in 92 but didn’t make the team. He averaged 20.1 ppg and 9.3 apg(Third in the league behind Mark Jackson, J Stockton) was named NBA player of the month for April 1997 and didn’t make the team that year. The Suns were a 50 plus win team most of his career. KJ was a great point guard, very underrated.
Speaking of a legacy tarnished over some bullsh!t allegations, how about a Stunted Growth episode on Alvin Robertson??
Man, Kevin, definitely deserves to be in the HOF. He was a great PG and scorer. Nice handle and had serious ups.
I love seeing those drop tile ceilings
He doesn’t just have sexual assault accusations, he also had numerous corruption problems during his political career. It was just all around bad. The sexual assault is the worst though
Who you are as a person is more important than how good you are at your job.
Wow! Never knew that crap about him. Lives his game but yeah, aside form the 93 finals he Webber took his teams anywhere. Fun to watch tho.
One of the first fast super explosive small guards in the NBA.
