Joe Johnson only played 48 games for the Boston Celtics before being shipped out in a trade to the Phoenix Suns. The 38-year old Johnson, a 7-Time NBA All-Star, last played in the NBA for the Houston Rockets in the 2017-18 season. This summer, he earned MVP honors with the Triplets of the BIG3 League and came away a Champion as his team defeated the Killer 3's in post-season play on Sunday. He does it again! Only fitting that MVP Joe Johnson ( @TheJoeJohnson7 ) sinks a GAME WINNER to win the #BIG3Championship 🏆🏆🏆 pic.twitter.com/UmQhPAT2Zc — BIG3 on CBS (@thebig3) September 1, 2019 Iso Joe is reportedly working out for several NBA teams including the Clippers, Bucks and 76'ers. His impressive play for The BIG3 evidently got the attention of some NBA general managers. He led the BIG3 in total points, 4-pointers, field goals and assists. In the final post-season game versus the Killer 3's, he notched 28 points, six rebounds and two assists. At this point in his basketb...

I don't often get excited by small, second-round draft picks, but I am about Carsen Edwards. And it appears, I am not alone. According to Celtics Blog's Keith Smith, an anonymous Boston coach is really high on Edwards ( per NESN's Chris Gernham ): “That’s a classic Danny (Ainge) pick,” they (Celtics coach) told Smith. “He loves those undersized guards who have a heart as big as this gym. Carsen is a killer. He’s strong too. We wanted to sit him a game out here and he looked at us like we took his world away. It will take a bit for him to adjust to the NBA, but we’ve got another good guard coming.” “He’s got that little move all small guards need to create space. He gets a shoulder (truly a shoulder and not his arm) into the defender and steps back. He’s strong when driving. I didn’t see him get stripped once. Not a pure point guard by any means, but Boston has had a lot of luck with guys who are pure lead guards. Defensively he’s competitive, but his size hurts him there...

You may remember Joe Johnson who had little more than a cup of coffee before being sent packing to Phoenix. Joe was taken with the 10th overall pick in 2001 and then traded halfway though his rookie season. Joey, we hardly knew ye. Johnson became a 7-time NBA All-Star, and I blame his errant trade on residue from the disastrous reign of Rick Pitino in Boston, even though he was gone went the trade went down. Joe is now Captain of the undefeated Triplets of Ice Cube's BIG3 League. When you look at the stats from the four BIG3 games thus far, be aware that these 3-on-3 games only go to 50 points. Joe Johnson's 1st 4 games in @TheBIG3 GM1: 27 PTS, 16 REB, 5 AST, GW GM2: 20 PTS, 8 REB, 5 AST, GW GM3: 26 PTS, 7 REB, 4 AST GM4: 17 PTS, 7 REB, 4 AST, GW pic.twitter.com/ziMC7bhifX — Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) July 14, 2019 "Iso" Joe Johnson was, and is, known for his shooting and scoring, but the moniker misses the fact he is a willing passer.
