Never rushed, patient. Never was forced into a spot, probed. Never played at one speed, stop and go. Never let the defense overpower him, initiated contact. He was methodical. Some may say boring. Purists will call him a surgeon.
Two guard was deep in the 2000’s. Kobe, AI, Wade, Tmac, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Ginobili, Brandon Roy, Monta Ellis, Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Kevin Martin, Jamal Crawford, Michael Redd, JR Smith. A lot of bucket getters
It's not just his dribbling. It's also his footwork and knowing where the defense off balance or catching them off balance as they think they're in control. D Rose used to donthe same thing on his drives.
I hate how he isn’t talked about as one of the most clutch players of all time. I remember at least 4 buzzer beating game winners he hit let alone the countless buzzer beating tying shot as well
Glad YTube found a way to get this video to me, always appreciated Joe Johnson's game so underappreciated his mid-range and footwork getting to his spots are some of the best
Joe really might be the coldest hooper I ever seen. T-Mac was similar in a way where the game looked so easy to them. Joe never looked like he tried hard for his shots; size up, first step pull up or bump you with the shoulder and turn around j. He was GONNA score one way or another.
Not beating you with speed and athleticism but his handle, using his body to create space and getting to his spot was top tier. He plays with a Luka Doncic pace and can get a shot anytime he wants.
Joe was the most un athletic but still entertaining player i use to love watching, bro was so smooth and made it look easy bc it never looked like he was rushed n he was not fast but so deceptive and strong. I have NO idea why no one mentions him. Respect for this channel for this vid 🫡
Im a big Heat fan so it's sad but hilarious that half these clips are him cookin them lmao but he is truly underrated. Glad he got to wear a heat jersey too for a brief time
@@jackreacher2095 Believe the hype if you want. Real hoopers know. Luka aint head and shoulders better than alot of the people they try to make it seems like. Hes very marketable though.
@@silewis9396 "flowers" meaning admiration and respect, not just the bag. What Spencer Dinwiddie said about fans "not remembering you" if you're not on mount Rushmore is true. You don't hear NBA fans talk about this guy anymore. He was like a more physical Paul George in his prime. Phenomenal player and my personal favourite.
10 minutes on Joe's iso game is kinda disrespectful, this dude has at least an hour worth of iso plays. One on One anywhere on the Court to get a bucket, there's very very few that I'd put above Joe..
@guillermomclean8657 Jason Terry use to Get Busy Getting Buckets with the Atlanta Hawks and Mavs. Don't sleep on JET. Took Mavs to 2 finals appearances with Dirk. He was the man in Atlanta a couple seasons early 2000s
Paul George is a better player than Joe Johnson bro stop it😂. Remember you’re watching highlights, Joe Johnson had his bad games too. And I love ISO Joe
@@fatality1249 everybody got a highlight reel that makes them look top 75. You could make a 10 minute montage of Timofey Mazgav and he'd look like Lakers Shaq.
@@VENGEFULHEXX exactly😂 but let me be clear, I think Joe Johnson was an excellent player, I just think Paul George is better. But what you’re saying about mozgov is true😂 and for anyone. You could make Paul George look better than he actually is too.
@@Yooooo91 yea he had a lot of respect for Joe. There is a few articles online about it. He tried getting the front office to get him on the Cavs at one point, even offered to play power foward in order to do so. Land of basketball shows head to head stats and it’s not even close for those saying he had Brons number though.
These are great, I love the quick pace. I hate when "highlight videos" show the same replay 16 times. if you could leave the highlights a like half second longer to hear the crowd reactions it would be perfect
He doesn't try to cross you. He searches for openings and reacts to your movement. It's actually just basic fundamentals. They used to say the same about me with my slow dribbling. I didn't do all the fancy dribbling and moving fast. I just reacted to the defenders and got out of situations. Mimicking the defenders movement and flowing like water.
bruh i remember joe johnson that brotha was nasty😤 also i would of loved to see a one on one game with joe johnson and kobe that would be one hell of a 1v1
He plays like these defenders aren't even there and these weren't bad defenders at all, lebron, Shawn Marion, Trevor Ariza, Blake griffin and DeAndre Jordan in their prime, Tony Allen, serge ibaka. Just wow
Never rushed, patient. Never was forced into a spot, probed. Never played at one speed, stop and go. Never let the defense overpower him, initiated contact. He was methodical. Some may say boring. Purists will call him a surgeon.
Spot on analysis big dawg
3rd Most Buzzer Beaters Behind MJ & Kobe
Iso Joe Super Underrated🔥
He's actually tied with kobe in 2nd with 8. LeBron might have 8 too.
Two guard was deep in the 2000’s. Kobe, AI, Wade, Tmac, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Ginobili, Brandon Roy, Monta Ellis, Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Kevin Martin, Jamal Crawford, Michael Redd, JR Smith. A lot of bucket getters
If we're keepin it real it has never been as deep, before and since
This is like the mid 2000's of NFL receivers.. these guys were tough and could catch onehanders flying through the air... Nobody will touch this era
every era had its position, centers of 90s, power forwards of 2000s, point guards in 2010s, now we have big men stars again.
I almost feel like vince carter belong in that group too, even though he's a sf
@@nomooon true, paul pierce too
You don't really see guys his size with such a smooth handle like that. He was tough.
Luca
The balance of handles, strength and first step was rare.
@@JJ-vp3bdLuka uses his size mostly and screens. Joe was quicker and didn’t need screens. He’s crossing people over consistently
@@kewan2045 he has a way better handle than Luka.
Prime Paul George either a top 5 best Shooting Guard of all time
Or a Top 8 Small Forward of all time. Depends on which position you consider him as!
I don't care about all-time ranks. This guy was one of the coldest MFers to ever do it.
Everyone guarding him was atleast somebody! He gave all the stars the business
Good observation
His dribble is so out in the open but he snatches it back so quick that you don't even want to reach
It's not just his dribbling. It's also his footwork and knowing where the defense off balance or catching them off balance as they think they're in control. D Rose used to donthe same thing on his drives.
That mid-range is lethal lol
Joe might have been the last player with a killer stepback that wasn't a traveling violation.
Kemba Walker? Kyrie Irving? Steph Curry?
@@stevewilson9778no
Atlanta Joe Johnson was unguardable
Joe Johnson is one of the greatest clutch players of all time.
You just know, Paul George watched this man a lot
Iso Joe had INSANE handles
Nobody ever talks about this
this is true
Literally the Paul George prototype
2nd most buzzer beating game winners all time. Man was a problem
He deserved a compilation
One of my favorite players of all time ! Used to give ppl hell in 2k with Joe ! Underrated dog
I use to wax folks on 2K with ATL Joe
Then Jamal Crawford with the ankle breaker on the 2nd unit was crazy against other benches 😂😂
I think I remember you or niggas like you😂 I used to be mad asl
On god 😂 2k 11 hawks was cold
J-Smoove Josh Smith also
He wasnt fast but his change of speed was way ahead of his time
ISO Joe was a problem, just kept running into stacked teams during his career
He left a stacked team on the Suns. That's his problem.
@@younglove3362 dude, they low balled him when it was time to get paid. He was the man in Atlanta and Brooklyn, look it up.
One of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen 💯
I hate how he isn’t talked about as one of the most clutch players of all time. I remember at least 4 buzzer beating game winners he hit let alone the countless buzzer beating tying shot as well
NBA Joe Johnson = NFL Andre Johnson
They cousins 😂
@@christianseals753 all Johnson's related 😂 but them hairlines is definitely in the same immediate family
You're right, they both low profile killers.
Joe Johnson was such a natural baller
Never rushed, never hurried smooth as silk…. Especially during the hawks years
A bag like that’ll make you millions in the NBA. Man was a hooper
Dude might have da best Offense package ever. If too small=post if too big= drive same size= pull up. Crazy bro
Glad YTube found a way to get this video to me, always appreciated Joe Johnson's game so underappreciated his mid-range and footwork getting to his spots are some of the best
Defenders on Joe within the first 50 seconds of video. Paul Pierce, LeBron James, Tayshaun Prince, Serge Ibaka... wow.
Joe put Lebron in the blender a few times in this video. ISO Joe is the shit!
Joe really might be the coldest hooper I ever seen. T-Mac was similar in a way where the game looked so easy to them. Joe never looked like he tried hard for his shots; size up, first step pull up or bump you with the shoulder and turn around j. He was GONNA score one way or another.
Underrated individual right here dude was shooting being a team player and had some of the nicest ball handling
Joe Johnson's handles are underrated. He used to cross ppl up.
it must’ve been so frustrating as a defender to know that it never mattered what you did, joe was gonna get to his spot
Change of pace was mad underrated
2:00 and Lebron took that out his bag lol
The type of player you should consider watching if you want to improve your skills
he was all fundamentals. did not try to do any of that new age dribbling. just smooth and precise. he barely had to use any speed.
Love how much he uses his off hand
Not beating you with speed and athleticism but his handle, using his body to create space and getting to his spot was top tier. He plays with a Luka Doncic pace and can get a shot anytime he wants.
he plays with a joe johnson pace😂
This is how to dribble. His dribbles are very tight.
I can watch Isolation Joseph play basketball for hours…dude’s offense was impeccable
Iso Joe is a different breed ! 💯💪🔥

We don’t take about the quickness of this man’s crossover enough.
Bro was playing how they do now
THAT FIRST PLAY WAS INSANE 😂
Joe Johnson. A memory from my childhood. How he would eat up in today’s NBA…
og version of paul george
Exactly. He walked so guys like Tatum and pg13 could run
I didn't realize Joe Johnson brought in this style so much of one on five
I could watch Isolation Joseph all day long
The amount of game winners he has is absurd
Casually cooking your favorite player
Joe Johnson is the "black" Luka Doncic - plays his own phase, know how to use his body against defenders
Lukas on a different planet 🌎
@@jackreacher2095 Believe the hype if you want. Real hoopers know. Luka aint head and shoulders better than alot of the people they try to make it seems like. Hes very marketable though.
Without the passing though. Joe was there to get buckets.
I was literally thinking the same "doncic is the Jordan of iso joes"
@@SinReps410HipHop “very marketable” aka white
Damn, everybody says that Luka is Larry Bird 2.0. But he's really MVP level, PG version of Joe Johnson.
What’s crazy is, this isn’t a wild take at all.
I was literally thinking this while watching it lmfao
One of the greatest iso superstar talents that never got his flowers. My favourite player from my youth.
When Atlanta gave him a max 123 million bag you could say he got his flowers. Dude was making more than the very best in the league

He was the pre-curser to guys like Tatum, pg13, etc.
Honestly the pre curser to them was Tmac
One of the most underrated players with a bag
One of the most pure and fun to watch basketball player ever.
if there's a HOF for underrated players of all time, JJ will be easily on the top 3
Very underrated player and such a smooth game
This what Paul George is supposed to be

SGA bringing it back
Devin Vassel, JaLen Brunson, AEdwards, Devin Booker, JT, JB, Coby White etc etc
What a fundamentally sound 3-level scorer that didn’t rely on athleticism. Iso Joe was highly underrated.
He was cooking Bron ahh
Fried and baking his ass 😂😂😂
@@ALARGADORDECU 🍗 fasho
Not really. He made a few shots. It’s part of the game. Bron didn’t fall down like the truth though.
@@frankiethefrog1752 he was there but that’s Bron, he looked like he knew ISO Joe was a problem
@@Yooooo91 yea he had a lot of respect for Joe. There is a few articles online about it. He tried getting the front office to get him on the Cavs at one point, even offered to play power foward in order to do so.

Cooking Miami Lebron more than once is crazy. I forgot about Iso Joe fr
Miami LeBron is overrated, carried by wade and bosh
When he was in Atlanta with josh smith,damn!
And JeffTeague and Al horford
Truth
My first nba game i seen was him hitting a game winner vs the clippers in the playoffs
Paul George’s Godfather
These are great, I love the quick pace. I hate when "highlight videos" show the same replay 16 times. if you could leave the highlights a like half second longer to hear the crowd reactions it would be perfect
@@Mindsetsandreps just started doing that in my more recent videos I see a lot of people say that but yea no replays from me more buckets
There were some defenders that look like they had him smothered, but he still sunk the shot
Lol yep that size and strength
This man is very clutch
A lot of guys in todays NBA could never venture out to that island bro Joe on the Hawks/Brooklyn was unstoppable
He would’ve been even better with today’s rules
He was good af in old 2k 😂 hawks
1:04 that was filthy...where ya goin Bosh? lol
His handle doesn’t make sense.He’s not doing anything special yet defenders get fooled.Joe was just gifted like that.
You couldn’t guard him it’s easy saying that as a viewer on UA-cam
he does little subtle twitches in between dribbles n when setting people up, elite handle 💯
Lol u dont see the push? thats just how good he is for not the ref to see it
It’s his hesitation
He doesn't try to cross you. He searches for openings and reacts to your movement. It's actually just basic fundamentals. They used to say the same about me with my slow dribbling. I didn't do all the fancy dribbling and moving fast. I just reacted to the defenders and got out of situations. Mimicking the defenders movement and flowing like water.
Iso joe was nice as hell. Real ones know
0:14 so underrated! The best crossover ive ever seen
ISO Joe man he was that boy in Atlanta!
I used kill people with joe in 2k
This man just doesnt move the same as most nba players, even today.... glitchin like mad
That Atl team was lit on 2k back in the day
I used to average like 35 a game when i used joe in 2k13 😂
Jump shot is insane bruhh it's hella smooth
Bro cooked the whole league 😭
3:37 gotta be the smoothest jumpshot in NBA history.
Looks like Deebo took some off his game from ISO Joe, and Kobe. Respect.
hell give you 40 on a tuesday and 6 on thursday
I used to be so pissed about this hahaha. My guy could have 25 points at halftime and finish with 24 somehow
lol I was saying the same thing. Probably started getting lazy or didn’t feel like playing lol
bruh i remember joe johnson that brotha was nasty😤
also i would of loved to see a one on one game with joe johnson and kobe that would be one hell of a 1v1
Iso Joe was really like that and he was strong as an ox too💯
Joe Johnson was a problem
damn I knew he was good but I really under rated him
Him and Melo still my fav players.. the Real Melo.
joe johnson was a walking bucket period !!
