Other than Jordan and Kobe, I've never seen a more potent ISO game than Joe Johnson this season.
Not Iverson. Not T-Mac. Not D Wade. Dude is one of the most unstoppable guards ever in 1v1 matchup.
I gotta give u props on that observation.His ISO game is smooth as fukk.Got the handle, fade, and he's strong enough to take you down into the post.
I saw the budding talent when he was with the Suns.People used to think I was crazy when I said the Suns should build around him and Amare for the future(back in '05) I thought Marion & Nash were more expendable as far as building for the future.
D'antoni didn't let him handle the ball enough.He was only being used as a decoy for the Amare/Nash pick n roll.JJ would just stand in the corner and wait for his defender to sag off on Amare/Nash...he was automatic as fukk from the corner 3, though
The rare times they did let him play 1v1 ISO, it was like "This nikka is more talented than we think out here in the desert
"
Sarver low balled him and refused to pay him the extra 5 mill he was asking for.As a Suns fan, I always wanted to keep him
