Clemon Johnson

Clemon James Johnson Jr. (born September 12, 1956) is an American former professional basketball player and the former head basketball coach at Florida A&M. Johnson was a 6'10", center who played 761 games for four teams during his 10 seasons in the National Basketball Association. From 1974 to 1978 he played college basketball at Florida A&M University where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in sports management. He was acquired along with a 1984 third-round selection (48th overall–Georgia forward James Banks) by the Philadelphia 76ers from the Indiana Pacers for Russ Schoene, a 1983 first-rounder (23rd overall–Mitchell Wiggins) and a 1984 second-rounder (29th overall–Stuart Gray) on February 15, 1983. He famously said that his trade to the 76ers was "like going from the outhouse to the White House." He was a reserve with the team when it won the NBA Championship later that season. After three seasons and a 32–64 record, Johnson was fired from Florida A&M by athletic director Kellen Winslow.
