why do people underrate Joe Johnson?

[Richesly]

Seriously, It's not that he's underrated, but people don't even say hes clutch. no one gives him props for anything. Joe is clutcher than CP3. Joe is clutcher than Kobe. Joe is clutcher than Melo or Durant.

Get over it.

So, just because a player is on a team 'nobody' cares about, and even if he is the clutchest player in the nba, he doesnt exist because no one cares about that team?

god, this board makes realgm seem like the shit.

Get over it.

#1. He's never fulfilled his "superstar" potential.

#2. He's as charismatic and appealing as Tim Duncan.

#3. He plays for the Hawks.

BTW no to all your statements so Idk what I'm even arguing

Well he does exists, but it's just nobody cares. He plays for the Hawks which no one considers a legit contender, so nobody is scared of them and in turn nobody is scared of him.

Simple :

#1: F*ck the Hawks

#2 : F*ck Joe Johnson

People dont care about Joe Johnson. Not really. If they cared and formed strong opinions about anything but his contract him doing well would be something to get over.

As it is....he just does largely irrelevant things in the background of the league on a team that never has been or will be taken serious until they do more than almost matter.

There is nothing to get over. Joe Johnson is like...the 15th-40th best player in the league and that unusually wide range is that just because people dont care enough to really evaluate his standing.

One year he looks worse than Monta ellis one year hes maybe....nipping at the hells of 3rd tier stars?

Scoring 17 unimpressive points in a playoff loss?

Driving his Transformer F-650 around?

Im as big an NBA fan as you will ever find and I live an hour and change from Atlanta.

You know the most discussion ive ever heard about him? When a woman I knew like 10 years ago posted a facebook picture of them together after he hit on her outside Gladys Knights chicken and waffles in Atlanta.

And most of that discussion was about his white Aston Martin he took her for a ride in.

Thats Joe Johnson. A guy who is gonna fade away from the memory of this eras fans 40 minutes after he retires and will always be more famous for his contract and 200 thousand dollar train horn having truck that made white people mad on the internet.

If the Hawks win the title this year(.....) it likely just means Josh Smith played out of his mind while Joe played roughly on the level of Hersey Hawkins for 38 minutes a game and made 2 impressive late jumpers in 5 total playoff games that ended up being key.

Nothing he does at this point will make him a real star short of straight 2011 Dirking it in a round or two and guess what?

If he does it....Lebron, Kobe, Durant, Rose, and Paul NOT winning the title will be a bigger story than him beating them.

Joe Johnson is not and will not be a major figure in the league.

That is more of a "Get over it" situation.

Just saying is all...

He's not clutch, he had 2 of the most embarrassing playoff performances I've seen from a "franchise player" in '09 and '10, back to back years. I don't know how you can call a guy clutch after those performances.

He's a good player, and has deserved some of his all-star teams, but he's also gotten some others that he didn't deserve, got one of the most idiotic max contracts ever and is always talked about as Atlanta's star, yet there have been seasons when he wasn't even their best player.

If he wasn't overrated, and overpaid, he might get more credit because I actually like his skill set. Very good shooter and ball handler for a guy 6'7", versatile player who can pass, pretty good defender, and nice mid-range game and a crafty scorer with those floaters.

But I thought less of him after seeing him disappear in the '09 and '10 playoffs, and another flaw is that he seems soft. I mean, how often do you see him go hard all the way to the rim?
