Jim is joined by sports reporter for Spectrum News 1 Wisconsin Dennis Krause to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA small forward Marques Johnson. First, Dennis and Jim cover which NBA legend famously had a poster of Johnson in their dorm room, his role in "White Men Can't Jump" and his unusual Milwaukee Bucks jersey situation (5:49). Next, they discuss Johnson's dominant performance in the 1983 NBA playoffs, how he compares to Bernard King, and how many former AP College Basketball Player of the Year recipients ended up having a great NBA career (12:43). Finally, Jim and Dennis rank Johnson among the best NBA small forwards of the 1980s (27:01), before making a final call on whether Johnson belongs in the Basketball Hall of Fame (31:08).
