    The Phoenix New Times complained that as a broadcaster he spends way too much time bragging about his NBA exploits.
    When Fast Eddie Johnson was busted for sexual assault of a minor, several newspapers, sportscasts and websites used this Eddie Johnson's file photo and biographical info.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had one of the best jumpshots in the game, with Reggie Miller saying 'If you ever wanted to see someone shooting with textbook form, accuracy and follow through, Eddie Johnson is the man.'
    He runs youth basketball clinics.
    Former teammate Charles Barkley appeared on several radio talk shows to clear up the confusion over the two Eddie Johsons and said, 'Guys have to be more responsible than to just run with it. It was lazy journalism.'
    He said, 'My name is everything. I don't fault the other Eddie Johnson for having that name. I think it's a great name. He just doesn't happen to be a great guy.'
