1 day agoThe one defender Tre Johnson could never shake was his dad
Tre Johnson hears a voice when he plays basketball. It's his own. He won't reveal what he says but does mention the self-talk is exclusively negative. Johnson picks at himself, always looking for more - even if he is playing well. At times, Johnson hears his voice differently. It echoes of his father's. He heard Richard Johnson Jr.'s gravelly tone all the time growing up, often cutting through crowded gyms and empty blacktops.
