If you’ve been following the BIG3 League this summer with us, you have to come to this conclusion: Joe Johnson is still capable of doing dirty things. Even at 40, Iso Joe still has some very nice leftovers and he does not intend to close the door to a potential return to the NBA.
Already MVP of the BIG3 League in 2019, Joe Johnson returned the cover during the 2021 season. And even if he did not win the final title this year, preferring to leave this award to Jarrett Jack’s team, Iso Joe delighted the gallery with his scoring and one-on-one qualities (almost 23 points average in BIG3 this year). Clearly, even though we know that the Ice Cube league looks like a big mess, Johnson has proven once again that basketball is in his blood. And must not forget either that last February, the guy had participated (with Isaiah Thomas) in two qualifying matches for the FIBA AmeriCup 2022 with Team USA, finishing with a very correct average of 11 points per game in the two victories. of his team. Finally, he also shone during the Basketball Tournament in July 2020, in the midst of COVID. In short, Iso Joe has a few arguments. What to consider a return to the NBA before hanging up the sneakers? Why not. In any case, the main interested party does not want to close the door to this possibility if we are to believe his words to TMZ Sports.
“No, I haven’t finished yet. We’ll see what happens. We’ll see, we’ll see. I have nothing definitive to say, to be honest. But I will continue to try to accomplish what I want. “
It’s impossible for Joe Johnson to stop basketball for now, not when you have so much talent and still have so many baskets to score. It remains to be seen if an opportunity in the NBA can still emerge at 40 brooms, he who has not played a game in the Great League since 2018. Iso Joe was playing for the Rockets at the time and shot that season at 6.8 points and 3.1 rebounds averaging 40.6% shooting success, under the colors of Utah and Houston. Since then, no real opening for Iso Joe apart from a workout with the Pistons before the 2019-20 season and another with the Bucks last April. So it’s hard to imagine Johnson’s return to the NBA today, even if he could probably plant a few strings out of the bench and bring valuable experience to some. young bloods.
Seven times All-Star during his career and with more than 20,000 points on the clock, Joe Johnson was one of the most gifted forwards in the NBA between 2005 and 2015. And he is far from having lost everything, because the scoring it’s a bit like riding a bicycle. Will he find a spot in the Great League? It promises to be complicated but not serious, we like to see him go crazy in the BIG3 League.
