Avery Johnson (born March 25, 1965) is an American retired professional basketball player and former head coach of two National Basketball Association (NBA) teams: the Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets.
He led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance and four consecutive 50+ win seasons. During his playing days, Johnson was known as the "Little General" for his small (by NBA standards) stature, his leadership skills as a point guard and floor general, and his close friendship with former San Antonio Spurs teammate David "The Admiral" Robinson.
