And now, he can add “gone viral” to his list of accomplishments.

“I’m not used to it, I’ll tell you that,” he said of the sudden attention.

Thanks to his amazing half-court shot—first seen on ABC7—in the Army Regionals wheelchair basketball final last Friday at Ft. Belvoir, Johnson can now lay claim to making ABC’s “Good Morning America,” as well as ESPN’s “Top Play.”
