Growing up in a tough neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, surrounded by drugs, gangs and violence, Eddie was faced with many challenges on a daily basis. He was the sixth child of seven and was raised by a determined single mother. It didn't take long before Eddie realized that he could stay out of trouble by focusing on school and basketball. With vision, a strong desire and unending support from his mother and siblings, Eddied finished high school. Through hard work, dedication and the desire to make a better life for his family, he was awarded with a full athletic scholarship to the University of Illinois.
Eddie received a BA in History in 1981… making him the first in the Johnson family to complete a college education. In that same year, Eddie realized one of his life-long dreams when the Kansas City Kings drafted him as their #29 pick. Although he was not drafted highly, Eddie worked tirelessly to improve his game. He culminated his seventeen-year career by becoming one of the most prolific scorers and greatest pure jump shooters to ever have played the game. His hard work ethic and strong leadership abilities have taken him to success off the court as well. As a color analyst for the past five years with the Phoenix Suns, Johnson has established himself as one who brings an honest, knowledgeable and unique style to the networks (NBC, TNT and ESPN.) In addition, he has written many articles for USA Today and HoopsHype.com. Taking those same leadership qualities that he honed on the basketball court, Eddie has crossed over to the business world. He is currently co-founder and President of The Jump Shot Club, a company that is comprised of basketball camps, clinics, instructional videos and motivational speaking.
