- 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.

People should know that he's tied with Kobe, Jordan and Lebron for most game winning shots of all time
dude was the king of meaningless victories lol
true fact this guy hit more game winners than anyone around
@@havanaradio you've got some wires crossed in your brain pal
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
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.
him being such a lowkey superstar adds to his legacy in a weird way
Everyone ends up more fond of guys like him than mainstream stars forsure
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.
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.

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.
The most smoothest jumpshot form, outstanding footwork, ice in veins in clutch moments.
True professional.
Feel Bad he never got a ring...
As skilled as anyone during that time
Damn. My fave player. He hit a game winner at my first NBA game. Been a hawks fan ever since
Super dope man I’m sure you’ll never forget that!
@@swishcountyproductions no definitely won’t forget about it
Watching Joe play was always something, because he could drop a quiet 25-30. Just constantly giving you 5-7 pts every qtr.
My favorite player of the mid 00s.
That’s awesome man definitely wish I would’ve tuned in more to him
Fax my favorite hawks player personally
@@jevon4647Same 4L
Joe Johnson was reason why I started playing ball and still my favorite player
You forgot to mention that his freshman year at Arkansas he only played half a year and still won newcomer of the year.
my Dad had me watch him when he was at Arkansas, he was a great basketball player. His shot was soo pure and his game was all around and he had the intellegence and vision of much older players, loved to watch him
He is only forgotten to the casual fans. Real basketball fans know who he is
Yes, true. I even looked at his kicks and soo badly wanted a Jordan 16 white/black without the shroud, just because it was Joe Johnson (even though i will never be able to afford them kicks)
One of my favorite players
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...
Joe was super dependable & you could always count on him.
"Not known for anything" he literally known as one of the best isolation players ever,
Just found your channel and have been binge watching all day ! Subscribed and Love what you do …… and then you had to throw so much shade at my home town and state 😢right when I was hyper that you mentioned us ! Lol
Anybody who was watching the east back when iso Joe was cooking knows that if the game is within 5/7 points and he's got the ball you can't rest easy.
What was your favorite episode of NBA Files, and who do you want to see next?
Charles Barkley would be cool
@@connorsteffey5898 that’s a great idea, might do that for 200 subs since there’s so much to go over
@@swishcountyproductions that would be cool I think a lot of people look at him now and don't realize what he was when he played
Yo how do you only have 17.k subs? You’re videos are great, love the players you’ve been covering to the forgotten greats!!
Imagine if the suns kept him
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.
Anyone else on a binge of the players I watched growing up from this man?!
Joe was that guy. Super clutch that's what i remember
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
Phx made a mistake letting him go, owner was a racist he didn’t want to pay him, told him he wasn’t kobe
I like this series keep it up
Thanks jack glad you enjoyed!
@@swishcountyproductions Joe Johnson is solid man
@@jackng8988 for sure, dude was very good for very long
unless you are a basketball fanatic or someone who has the same play style as him,he will be under appreciated.
If the Suns weren’t so cheap and kept him after the 2005 season, they would have definitely gotten over the hump against the Spurs….sad how cheap owners are sometimes 😢
True.. And they would've beat the Lakers in 08 and 09 as well
Fun fact, he both started and ended his career in boston.
Getting signed during the covid testing period and hitting the only shot in the only game he ever played whilst over 40.
Quiet calm just a baller didn't want any hype didn't sell out and got the bag congrats to him
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
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.
He will definitely be a borderline case (he played nearly 1300 NBA games).
7 time all star , 20,000 points… theres people that have done less in the hof so he probably will be eventually
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.
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
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.
You lost your damn mind if you think Little Rock suck😅 we just don’t go for that fake Hollywood nonsense
Just kidding man lmao, never been there I’m sure it’s great
Drafted 10 overall isn't the middle of the 1st round, it's a lottery pick.
Joe Johnson was ballin .. it’s weird I don’t remember him at Arkansas or the Celtics
ISO joe
yessir
He would be a near 30 points, a game score on today's nba
Love your content so much. Just wanted to say as a person who lives in Arkansas that you don't pronounce the S at the end of Arkansas. It's basically Arkansaw. Southerners. I also live in little rock and you're right it's trash.
Preciate your support man, sorry for the pronunciation lol bet that was cringe inducing
@@swishcountyproductions no worries! Keep the videos coming.
He’s not forgotten
Imagine that Brooklyn team in their prime 😭
True.. imagine if that Nets had anoter legit shooting guard or some solid 3&D player
iso joe a true dog he let his game do the talking
the other MR. BIG SHOT..
Little Rock Just not Hollywood…
Average in name, but not in game.
“ISO” Joe was never bad, but never had that one breakout moment/look/character to make the rest of the world take notice. He was remarkable for being an unremarkable All-Star.
Mainly because he played the hawks
Your leaning more towards why wasn’t he a super star than actually highlighting how good he was in prime and actually above average in his later years with the nets and jazz not everyone can say they scored 20,000 in the nba
Probably because he just let his work do the talking. Iso Joe didn't seem like a trash talker or a show off type dude.
Arkansauce
Bruh if you think Little Rock is a boring place just say you’re some little Russian kid.
He had a bad last game.
This guy only made this video to hate on Joe Johnson
Numbers don’t lie… Joe played his part and played it exceptionally well. He has had tremendous opportunities, continually pays it forward, and stayed under the radar. As it pertains to his city and high school he attended, do your research, there is a great deal of informative history behind it all. Joe “ISO Joe” Johnson aka JJ is celebrated and appreciated by many♥️🌹- Clutch 🤜🏽🤛🏽
You from his city?
Please stop saying Arkansauce
Aye aye sir🫡
You shit on my home state so hard AND didn't pronounce it correctly 😭
Sorry Aidan I’m sure it’s dope😭
Plus he's got the most generic name ever
I agree that has something to do with it
lack of personality... he does nothing to promote the game or himself... it's annoying seeing an antisocial grown man in their 20s and 30s... that social awkwardness is for middle school and high school boys, not grown men... it's the same thing with Kuwait Leonard... stop intentionally being socially different
This might be the stupidest comment I’ve ever read😂😂
@@WRLdPeAcE96 what makes my comment so stupid 🤷🏾♂️ ? I remember broadcasters and fans saying these things about him back in the day, so I know it's not some opinion that only I share 😂🤷🏾♂️
