At a height of 2.05 m (6'8¾"), he plays at the power forward and center positions on the court. Johnson was named an NBL Canada All-Star in 2014, and won its Slam Dunk Contest the same season. He was often considered one of the top defenders in the league, having been named to two All-Defence Teams, and winning the NBL Canada Defensive Player of the Year Award. Johnson played college basketball at James Madison University, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Johnson was born on March 28, 1985 and brought up in Fort Washington, Maryland and Temple Hills, Maryland. In seventh grade, he dunked his first basketball. In an interview in 2008, he said that it was his most memorable moment as an athlete.
Johnson initially competed at the NCAA Division I level with the James Madison Dukes, but chose to transfer to UMBC after three seasons. He claimed that he was unhappy with his previous school and felt that he would see more immediate success with the Retrievers. One of Johnson's teammates also transferred to the same team with him, making the process smoother in his opinion.
