$50 says you only knew his nickname because you looked him up on Basketball-Reference.com

Anyways this is sick, hopefully a large group of men will play prison ball with him in the showers when he gets locked up.

Damn... 8 year old girl?!? Sick... I thought he was the other Eddie Johnson for a sec, the one that was a former Rocket.

me too, i kinda asked myself, 'was he 42 when he hit a game winner and danced against utah in the 97 playoffs?'

[Fenix]

"But, but... she told me she was 12!"

Is that the same Eddie Johnson who writes for Hoopshype? No way he's 51 years old.

Edit: Aaaa. That Eddie Johnson.

[Buckley]

The one working for hoopshype is like 47 i think. yes, i looked that up

The one arrested was a former Hawk.

[Old School Fool]

Who the hell is Eddie Johnson?

Either way, he's a douchebag.

so the one from hoopshype was about 38 when he, as a rocket, hit the gamewinner againts the jazz?

[Riot]

What a motherfucking pervert.

[Anthony15]

Who the hell is Eddie Johnson?

Either way, he's a douchebag.

Second that, what a sick bastard.

[BIG GREEN]

The fact that someone play(ed) basketball well makes them immune from being mentally insane? Stop putting these people on pedestals so much.

[R.J.]

For a second, I thought it was Ernie Johnson.

[Its_asdf]

Eddie Jonhson... I couldn't help but think of some sort of strange mix of Eddie Jones and Larry Johnson.

[Buckley]

The other Eddie Johnson is being accused for being the guy who was arrested, some people don't know the difference.

Also from the Eddie Johnson who wasnt arresteds website.

NEWS NOTE: I have received numerous e-mails from fans and customers about the arrest of a former player whom happens to share the same birth name as I. Sorry about the confusion, but this Eddie Johnson is law abiding and enjoying retirement. So please continue to support my Website and enjoy my Instructional video.

Amen. I expect nothing more out of a professional athlete than I do my next door neighbor, but whoever partakes in acts like this deserves the worst.

[Matthew]

this is just disgusting. Almost as bad as R. Kelly since this one is younger

Wouldn't it make this one worse?

[Ibaony]

Eddie Jonhson... I couldn't help but think of some sort of strange mix of Eddie Jones and Larry Johnson.

then maybe we could have a guy named 'Larry Jones'. how about that?

[-Young Buck-]

from fox sports net..... wow

When news hit the wire that former NBA player Eddie Johnson had been arrested and charged for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl, those who know Eddie Arnet Johnson had to know the arrested player was "Fast Eddie" Johnson, the former Auburn star who had a 25-year history of bi-polar psychological woes, drug problems, arrests, and various other continual issues off the floor.

What this really means: In this age of instant information in the media, a plethora of media organizations didn't check their facts and placed the wrong Eddie Johnson at the heart of their story. Cases of mistaken identity happen frequently, but there is no justification for the media to have jumped on this one.

Before implicating anyone, it's imperative to check the facts, and particularly in a case such as this. Any member of the media with any knowledge of the NBA would know the difference between the two players. Fast Eddie was a constant problem, suspended by the league. "Slow Eddie," always was and still is a treat to be around under any circumstance. He was on track to earn a network deal as he continued to improve as an analyst.

Now his life has been turned upside down by irresponsible people who have offered mild public apologies. Well, that won't do. Even if it blows over, he will never feel the same. He'll never trust the same. And that's the tragedy of it all for Eddie Johnson and his family.

So here's a blanket apology from someone who has come to know you, respect your work and appreciate your growth as a man over the past 25 years since you left the University of Illinois. Having known "Fast Eddie" Johnson too, I never in a million years would have even blinked — knowing full well which one was the culprit in this instance. Sadly, there were too many others who should have blinked several times before wrongly throwing you under the bus.

Looks like the thread writer mixed up the two Eddie Johnsons too, saying it was unexpected when the criminal's already had a few run ins with the law.
