What caught my eye were the Sand-Knits tags. The top tag looks to be from the mid 1970's while the bottom tag from the late 1970's. Perhaps a transitional year for the tags? Why the different color thread?

That is strange. Has anyone else ran into a sand knit shirt with tags that either don't match years or have mismatched threading, I don't think I have.

The list of NBA uniform numbers on www.apbr.org shows several #32s for Boston in the 1970s but no Johnsons among them. These listings are limited to regular season rosters.
