User:AlanSwoosh/Alan "Swoosh" Johnson

Alan 'Swoosh' Johnson was a basketball player who still holds the NBA all time record for 'Most Career Swooshes".

Born on 23rd December 1962 in Memphis Tennesey, Swoosh grew up in tough conditions, something that he would later refer to as growing up in the dirty south.

Swoosh got his big break when he was spotted by Rommell Jordan, coincidentally Michael Jordans cousin, playing a game known as 'Killer' [citation required] on a school trip to Slough, England.

Upon this discovery Swoosh was the number 4 pick in the 1980 draft and was snapped up by the Chicago Bulls, although there was much controversy as the Miami Heat claimed that they had already signed a contract with Swoosh. The matter was settled out of court with an alleged payment of $3million made by the Bulls to the Heat.

Swoosh's carrer last 14 years which allowed him to play in the same team as greats such as Michael Jordan and Ali Elhamamy. However when Swoosh started his career he was simply known as Alan Johnson, the swoosh part was added after he become notorious for his jump shots where the ball would go through the ring without touching it and go straight into the net making a "swooshing" sound.

Swoosh retired in 1994 after tearing ligaments in his knee from which he failed to recover fully. He still holds the all time swoosh record as well as many others:

NBA most all time Swoosh's 1984 Swoosher of the year 1985 Swoosher of the year 1986 Swoosher of the year (this award was no longer given as nobody at the time could forsee anyone getting any more swooshes than Johnson - The award was re-instated in 1995 after Johnsons retirement) 1990 NBA Most Handsome swoosher 1993 NBA Killer season champ 1997 ex-NBA award for greatest ever swoosh

Since retiring Swoosh has moved to Slough, England where he was first discovered and now works as a recruitment consultant but still finds time to play killer every summer in Slough Grammar Schools empty playground.
