Any NBA team in need of a 7-time All-Star, look no further … ’cause Joe Johnson,he’s not ready to retire anytime soon — and he wants to compete!!
40-year-old Johnson hasn’t played in the Association since 2018, but there’s no question the guy can still hoop — he reportedly just won his second BIG3 MVP in 2021 after scoring 182 points in the regular season.
Given all his recent success in the 3-on-3 league, we had to ask if his focus is solely on Ice Cube’s org. … or if he’s still got gas left in the tank to ball out in the NBA — and he’s clearly not thinking about riding off into the sunset just yet.
“No, I’m not done. We’ll see what happens here … We’ll see, man. We’ll see. I don’t have nothing definite to tell you, to be honest with you. But, I’mma be out here to try to get things done.”
JJ has had a helluva career so far — he averaged 16 points a game since joining the league in 2001. He had a shot with the Detroit Pistons after the 2019 BIG3 season … but was eventually waived before taking the court.
As for his incredible 2021 season, Johnson has a simple, yet perfect, reaction.
“I just love hooping.”
