NBA Player #1: Keldon Johnson – Forward, San Antonio Spurs

The second Spur on the list and the undisputed number one is Keldon Johnson. When I was interviewing my subject/girlfriend, she told me I could order the list anyway I wanted, “as long as Big Body is number one.”

I should not have told her about his nickname.

When I first started writing for Air Alamo, my girlfriend said I could talk about basketball as much as I wanted if she could picture any “cute players.” She pulled up the Spurs roster and settled on Keldon Johnson. She now follows him on Instagram, and he has become her celebrity crush, much to my shock.

I don’t think Johnson is a bad-looking guy, but I don’t think he’s the best-looking guy, ever. Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe it’s the tooth gap. Maybe it’s the Mariah Carey obsession. Maybe it’s the physique. I have no idea.

I’m not saying she’s wrong, I’m just saying that I’m baffled. She’s elaborated on it, but not in ways I understand. It’s certainly changed my viewing experience of my favorite team.

Next. 3 players who will get paid like Jordan Poole. dark

Keep in mind, these are just the player she will admit to. I have no idea how extensive the list is, although there very well could be a follow-up article coming soon.
