Today we cover the story of Joe Johnson. Joe was one of the most underrated scoreres of the 2000's and most unappreciated scorers of all time. His stats and accolades scream hall of fame worthy, but most people barely remember who he was.

Joe is a quiet and relaxed guy He let his game do all the talking for him. He was not marketed or prompted like other players look at him now the leading scorer in the big 3 league ( still getting buckets) He was one of my favorite players to watch.

[@sangun123]

his crossover against pierce is still the coldest breakdown ever, the low to the floor pit pat into the long cross , jesus christ this man was dirty, his run on the nets with deron williams was always a joy to watch

[@tearsofjoy5416]

him being such a lowkey superstar adds to his legacy in a weird way

[@swishcountyproductions]

Everyone ends up more fond of guys like him than mainstream stars forsure

[@357Amun]

ISO JOE! That's what he is known for. One of the best all time iso scorers in league history. If he had done that in LA, NY, or Boston, instead of Atlanta, he'd be recognized. It wasn't until he went to Brooklyn that he started appearing in commercials with Lebron, Wade, and Melo.

[@EJHayes-qo4qi]

Atlanta at the time was a small market, if Joe Johnson was around now, It would be a different story, look at Trae Young for instance. Atlanta’s market is one of the biggest now, ranked at 8 in the NBA.

[@357Amun]

@@EJHayes-qo4qi Someone said that Atlanta doesn't have the worst fans, just the best haters. ...and they HATED on Joe. Listen to the Atlanta sports voices on 92.9 fm. They absolutely HATE on Trae as well. One of them said that, since he is our best player, he catches all of the flack. (Paraphrasing) Straight hate. That's what they do here in the ATL.

Joe was super dependable & you could always count on him.

[@robd1811]

dude is tied for the most game winning shots of all time, has over 20000 points 5000 assists and 5000 rebounds, beat dwade in a playoff series when it was just them two as the main guys on their team, he resurrected the hawks franchise made them a perrenial playoff team and set the culture which would later lead to the 60 win hawks team, and pretty much ends his playoff career hitting a game winner in utah as a vet and bench player for their team.... lot's of game winners super clutch player... his time in atlanta being a fan of the hawks and watching us get good for the first time in my life was awesome...

ISO Joe is one of my favorite players of the mid 2000s but he made a MAJOR mistake leaving Phoenix. I do think D’Antoni should have made him the key guy but Nash/Johnson/Marion/Stoudamire could have won a championship

Future HOFer Joe Johnson, who continues to play for Team USA with guys half his age to make sure America qualifies for all the bigger tournaments, and is the king of the Big 3. I always add him to my team in 2K out of respect.

He's my starting SF

[@VicerExciser]

As petty as it sounds, I think a lot of it had to do with his name...Joe Johnson. That's about the most generic name in the US other than maybe John Smith. That's the type of name you see in the checkout line of Wal-Mart. He was undoubtedly a great player and fringe Hall of Famer, he was ahead of his time and would have been an absurd menace in todays game. He was basically the James Harden of the 00's.

[@Ryhillchibulls]

JJ has to be in the Hall Of Fame. Maybe not first ballot but he'll be there. Also so many get in the BBall HOF it will for sure happen.

[@AEMoreira81]

He will definitely be a borderline case (he played nearly 1300 NBA games).

Joe Johnson was ballin .. it’s weird I don’t remember him at Arkansas or the Celtics

[@jimbrown5091]

Is it weird that I know more about Tony Delk (Kentucky) and Rodney Rogers (Wake Forest) because they were big college stars? If you say "Joe Johnson" to me, I think "Hawks all star who never won anything"...also...his name is Joe Johnson which issues right up there with John Smith and Mike Williams as generic phone book names (I'm Gen X, I remember phone books AND pay phones). I literally think the unassuming name and lack of a signature look (Harden's beard) or nickname did him in...I mean at this point Xavier McDaniel, and Ricky Pierce are more memorable.

[@estebantable3585]

Few reasons, like you said in this video, he peaked on the hawks but they sucked at the time. Honestly I think his plain ass name “Joe Johnson” was very forgettable, and he wasn’t doing anything crazy exciting or athletic like jumping out the gym for dunks. Just a very very solid player who went from role player to star on a small market bad team and then back to role player. But he’s one of the more underrated players in nba history. As a Celtics fan I’ll never forget the time he single handedly destroyed the Celtics. I was like who is this guy and why is he unstoppable against one of the best Celtics rosters all time. I’m glad they signed iso Joe for one more season. Even if it was just to come off the bench. He’s a legend who will he forgotten by future generations. You just had to see the guy play. Straight buckets in his prime on the hawks

[@pitongus]

Drafted 10 overall isn't the middle of the 1st round, it's a lottery pick.

[@markespinoza5499]

joe johnson was a pure shooter, and it seemed like 90% of his shots were swishes and never hit the rim.. if he had stayed with the suns with amare and nash, suns would have won multiple championships. if people remember correctly, j.j broke his cheekbone in the playoffs playing against mavericks when a very dirty player, jerry stackhouse hit him from behind when joe was up in the air. he was a solid bb player, 6'8", and he could shoot lights out from 3's.

Mainly because he played the hawks
