Johnson, along side of David Robinson, helped carry the San Antonio Spurs to a National Championship NBA title in 1999. The Spurs held summer training camps in Kerrville from 1994-97 on the campus of Schreiner University. Johnson attended all five of those camps. Guy Overby, Tivy Athletic Hall of Fame Director said. \u201cHe said he was really looking forward to coming back to Kerrville. It will be really special to all of us to have someone like Avery help us celebrate this momentous occasion and induct these very deserving former Tivy athletes into the Hall of Fame.\u201d<\/p>\n
