I’ll keep this brief: It’s true that seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson was not an All-Star in 2012-13. It’s also true that seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson struggled in his inaugural year in Brooklyn to fit into a new offense, as well as a bout with plantar fasciitis. Seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson had better seasons, and the NBA believed that seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson was more deserving of All-Star bid this year.
Though he shot well from three-point range, seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson didn’t have a phenomenal statistical year. But let’s remember one thing: with the game on the line four times, the Nets turned to seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson to get them a win. All four times, seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson delivered.
No one on this list did more with the game on the line than Seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson. And isn’t that what greatness is all about?
