Joe Johnson is legit.

I think JJ's tired of hearing that he's not a superstar because he doesn't show up in big/playoff games, and that he's not worth the $120M (there is merit to both arguments, of course).... he's finally playing with that edge/confidence/attack mode that we've seen in bursts during the regular season throughout the past few years.

He knows there's no one on the Bulls that can guard him, as he's too fast or too big for anyone on that team, and is trusting his talent to put him in good positions to score, instead of either over-dribbling until the clock runs out or taking contested jumpers. If we can alternate this with Jamal's shot-making, I love our chances.

JJ isn't in any sort of decline, he is just now reaching his peak :superman:

Joe was having fun out there for sure. It was great to watch.
