Standing only 5’10 (with his shoes on), Avery Johnson was nicknamed “Little General” during his playing days with the San Antonio Spurs, both because of his height (or lack thereof), as well as his leadership skills as a point guard (ie, being a floor general). Also, the nickname dovetailed nicely with his friendship with David Robinson, the latter being nicknamed “The Admiral.” Johnson has been a coach since retiring in 2004, and is currently the head coach of basketball at the University of Alabama.
