Vinnie Johnson

Johnson earned the nickname 'The Microwave' from former teammate Scott Hastings, who said Vinnie 'heated up so quickly' — a nickname that perfectly captured his instant-offense ability.

His game-winning jump shot with 0.7 seconds remaining in Game 5 of the 1990 NBA Finals is one of the most iconic shots in championship history — ending the series and giving Detroit back-to-back titles.

Johnson is one of only a handful of players in NBA history to score a championship-winning basket in the final seconds of a Finals game.

After retirement, Johnson founded Piston Group — a Michigan-based automotive supplier that grew into one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the United States.
