Johnson was born in Lansing, Michigan, in 1959. He began playing basketball at an early age and quickly developed into a standout player. He led his high school team to three state championships and was named Michigan's Mr. Basketball in 1977.
Johnson was recruited by many top college basketball programs, but he ultimately decided to play for Michigan State University. He had a successful two-year career with the Spartans, leading them to a Big Ten Championship in 1979.

Johnson retired from the NBA in 1991 after being diagnosed with HIV. He later returned to the NBA as a coach, leading the Lakers to the NBA championship in 2000.
Since retiring from the NBA, Johnson has been involved in a variety of business and philanthropic endeavors. He is the owner of the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA and a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball.
