To this day, Kevin Johnson is one of only two NBA players in league history to average at least 20 points, 10 assists, a .500 field goal percentage, and two steals in a season, which he did during the 1990-1991 season. The Cleveland Cavaliers stupidly traded Johnson less than one month after taking him with the seventh pick in the 1987 NBA draft. In Phoenix, Johnson was named to the All-NBA team four times, and finished his career with the third-most seasons averaging at least 18 points and nine assists (he did so seven times).

In 2008, after his playing days were over, Johnson was elected as the Mayor of Sacramento, California, becoming the first African-American mayor to serve in that city’s office.
