lol @ Joe Johnson being an all timer. He was never that good. He wasn't a good defender, he can't rebound at all for his body being similar to LeBron. He lacked any explosion so he was always an under the rim player which means he could not get blocks, finish greatly in the lane, or keep up with others. He is called ISO Joe for a reason. His game while good was never elite as he didn't have that 1 on 1 polish like kobe, Jordan, melo, gilbert, etc... He is a jack of all trades master of none kind of player, and those player are never greats.
He was forced to leave. The Suns didn't want to pay him.

Life is hard when you are the man an opposing team sets out to shut down
its why the term FRANCHISE PLAYER shouldnt be thrown around as loosely as it is

I feel like he altered the course of his career when he decided to leave Phoenix. That was the perfect situation for him that utilized his talents fully. Plus he didn't have to be the guy...which he didn't seem to want to be. He could just play his game. And because of his playmaking skills he could have took pressure off Nash. And they probably win championships with him there.
Ironically he said one of the reasons he left the Suns was because he wanted to be the "guy" on his own team and didn't want to be 4th wheel behind Nash, Amare and Marion.
Now it's been revealed over the course of his career that he didn't want to be the man...could not be the man. Then I think it's safe to say he screwed up the Phoenix situation and as a result his legacy.
They came with the money in the end.

He wasted a few years in Phoenix standing in the corner like Bruce Bowen on offense.
I saw the potential in Joe back then.
I used to tell everybody Amare & Joe were the future of the Suns.Ahead of Marion & Nash(He was getting up there in age)
In retrospect, it probably wouldn't have worked out because Amare had the knee issues, but at the time, I thought Joe was the 2nd most talented player on the team.
In the limited times he got to showcase his skills, he was by far the best shot creator out there.I don't blame him for leaving the Suns.I think they tried to hide/give him a diminished role on purpose.Hoping they'd be able to resign for a cheaper price.
Joe peeped it and told the Suns to go fukk themselves...Mainly Robert Sarver
I was sad as fukk when he bounced to Atlanta.....Boris Diaw was on my shyt list right off the bat...."This French nicca ain't no Joe Johnson replacement
"
But then Boris actually started to develop.....Still wasn't no Joe, tho

Lol how are you gonna say he's called "iso joe" for a reason and then say he doesn't have that "1 on 1 polish" like the elites? The reason why he has the nickname "Iso joe" is because he was one of the premiere 1 on 1 players in the league. And he converted on staggering percentages.
The entire Atlanta Hawks offensive circa 05-12 was centered around his 1 on 1 prowess.
Statistically iso joe is one of the greatest isolation scorers of all time.

Me to bruh. He was so smooth as a scorer that I knew he would make it in the league. But his lack of bulk and elite handles guaranteed he would never be a superstar. He should have at least been a 6th man for a decade though.I thought Forte was gonna be somebody@Trill Russell
Sounds like the type of stuff you say when you can't refute a claim. You have the right to your opinion tho
