Known as an "enforcer", Johnson is remembered in the ABA oral history book ''Loose Balls'' for punching Warren Jabali in a game between the Virginia Squires and Denver Rockets. Referee John Vanak called the punch "the most devasating punch () ever seen on the court". According to Vanak, Jabali was one of the most physical players in the ABA, and had been shoving Johnson and his teammates throughout the game until Johnson retaliated. Dave Twardzik of the Squires recalled, "It scared the hell out of me, but the guys on my team were loving it because the whole league hated Jabali."〔Terry Pluto. ''Loose Balls''. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1990. 218-219.〕
