Iso Joe appreciation thread

[Steezy]

Can anyone clowning me refute what I said? Again I never said he was the best or anywhere near that. There are tons of better offensive players than Joe Johnson

But I think it's a legitimate debate that he's up there with being one of the most complete offensive players ever. There wasn't a single thing offensively that he couldn't do effectively. He had a post game, floaters, could shoot the three and midrange effectively and from anywhere on the court. Had a good first step, could operate out of the triple threat, jab step, step backs, ect. His handles were nice and his crossover wasn't bad either, just ask Paul Pierce. Excellent free throw shooter as well

People talk about Melo being the best one on one player but I think it's Joe Johnson. He's named Iso Joe for a reason, but he didn't have to have the ball in his hands all the time to be effective either. He could play off ball, curl off screens to catch and shoot or be a spot up threat. One of his most productive years was being that in Phoenix

Joe's problem was that he never had the desire to be as great as he could be like a Kobe or even McGrady, but as far as his offensive game goes he had no weaknesses

Because he was a hawk and net and not a spur or bull I think folks will unnecessarily hate but I have to agree. He could shoot 48% from 3 one of the best seasons ever outside of curry..he could dribble you to sleep and pull floaters all day. Midrange leaning any direction seemed to be his specialty

people big up Brandon Roy as a complete player but Joe was the prime version of that. And at a legit 6'8 few people have ever had that a ability outside of superstars.

Melo may have had more effectiveness offensively but at his peak Joe was a notch below while being MUCH better distributer and defender.

Yeah I'm talking about Iso Joe too. I never said he was the best, only that he could possibly be the most complete. I don't think that's a farfetched statement

Breh thats literally a farfetched statement.

Joe Johonson was nice in nba 2k last decade....people were sleeper/online play with him.

NBA 2K over the years has always put people onto sleepers and upcoming talent. I remember when people was cheesing with steph curry/warriors years before they sniffed the nba finals. I need to get back into 2K...the game puts you onto a lot of players.

Breh none of these nikkas are trying to disprove what I actually said, they just see some shyt like most complete and automatically think I mean the best

Breh got paid and will go down as one of the nicest hoopers ever regardless of rings. Joey won

Little known fact, Joe stole my brothers girlfriend(At least one of his girlfriends) in high school.

Back when he was playing for the Suns.

She called my brother trying to broker a deal like "Joe buys me expensive lingerie, but I'm not really feeling him like that.That's what I always wanted you to do.If you can start buying me lingerie, I'll stay with you"----crazy high school bird brain shyt


True story.That was before Joe signed his first big contract.


I believe she moved to the ATL with him and had his baby......Good choice

 

[Greenhornet]

I love his game ... ive always said how nice it was

he is so square and deliberate with his movements... no fukking around, just raw power and deconstruction
