Joe Johnson is jokingly called "contemporary Jordan" by fans, not only because he also has the word "Joe" in his name, but also because of his "big heart". In the past ten seasons, he has won the league with eight kills, and his key ball level is definitely a god in the NBA. However, due to the fact that his career style has always been relatively low-key, Joe Johnson's popularity and popularity are not high, and on the peak strength, he is definitely the top level of the league.
In the 2001 NBA Draft, Joe Johnson was selected by the Celtics with the tenth pick, but the Celtics chose to send Joe Johnson away in the same position because there was already Pierce in the team. Being traded is definitely a good thing for Joe Johnson, because going to the Suns gives you more opportunities.
In his first season, Joe Johnson was named to the All-Rookie Second Team. Over the next two seasons, Joe Johnson continued to make steady progress. By the fourth season of his career, Joe Johnson had been able to average 17.1 points per game, and his three-point shooting rate could reach 47.8%, in addition to averaging 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. In the sun's four seasons, he averaged more than 35 minutes per game, and was also the focus of the team's training, Nash Xiaosi's best helper, the Suns even abandoned Pence Hardaway and Marbury for him. But this season was his last at the Suns, and his relationship with the Suns management grew worse because he was reluctant to accept the team's status and ask for a big contract.
In the summer of 2005, Joe Johnson renewed his contract with the Suns for a five-year, $69.67 million contract, but in an era when salaries were generally low, the Suns did not want to pay him such a huge salary, but chose to trade him to the Eagles in a first-come-first-tradable format.
At the Eagles, his stats have also improved compared to before. In his first season, he cut a comprehensive stat of 20+4+6.5, thus establishing his status as a star. In the Eagles' second season, he increased his scoring to 25+, and in the same year he was selected for the American Dream Team for his excellent performances, and participated in the 2006 Men's Basketball World Championships.
In 2007, due to Jason Kidd's absence from the All-Star due to injury, then-NBA president David Stern designated the Eagles to replace the Star Joe Johnson, so Joe Johnson was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career. In the following seasons, Joe Johnson was named an All-Star and was named to the NBA's Team of the Year.
In 2010, the Hawks announced a contract extension with Joe Johnson, but like the Suns before, the Hawks also chose to trade him after the contract extension because of the huge contract. In 2012, in a three-way deal, the Hawks traded Joe Johnson to the Nets for 1-for-6. The Nets have not succeeded in years of spending heavily on the chaotic team building. Although Joe Johnson developed more of his long-range shooting ability at this time, due to the increase in age and the increase in injuries, Joe Johnson's performance also declined year by year.
In his later years, Joe Johnson began to wander around, joining the Heat and jazz successively, and the general professional players chose a more competitive team in their later years, but Joe Johnson seemed not to care about personal honors, but chose to sign with teams with more salaries. Although the team is not very competitive, Joe Johnson often has amazing performances, often standing up at key moments in the team and saving the team with a key ball.
Joe Johnson at the top is undoubtedly one of the most underrated players in the league, as a veteran player, his basic skills are very solid, and his style of play is also very practical. In addition to his top scoring ability, he also has good organizational skills, often playing the role of actual point guard in the team. He has top-notch singles ability, known as "singles Joe" by fans, and has always had a good mid-range shooting ability in his career, and can also be said to be the top forward in the league at his peak. In the future, maybe we can see him in the Hall of Fame.
