Former Celtics guard Dennis Johnson has been elected to the Hall of Fame, according to a source.

Johnson, who died of a heart attack in February 2007 at the age of 52, played 14 seasons in the NBA and won three titles.

"It really doesn't come as a surprise to me," said former Celtics general manager Jan Volk. "The surprise is that it took so long. Anyone who ever played with or against Dennis Johnson knew that no one competed harder. And the bigger the game, the better he played."
