I'd wear those everyday, the rest of my life. Throw in the Stockton Malone and I'm set.

The only real difference is JJ was overpaid.
If not for the CBA then they would pretty be the same

Stop, please don't turn this into Melo and Joe debate.
Melo has way more offensive moves, and can actually drive the ball.
Joe Johnson's biggest problem his whole career was that he couldn't drive the ball or finish at rim. He's never used his frame to be physical and he lacked athleticism.
All things considered, Johnson did pretty well for a 10th overall pick.

His post game is actually pretty good. He's normally WAY bigger than any SG guarding him, so he draws doubles pretty consistently. His problem is not getting to the FT line. If he used Pierce/Kobe-like smarts to pump fake and get to the line/draw fouls - he'd be a completely different player. Instead, he takes far too many jump shots and floaters, so he hovers around 43% from the field and barely gets to the line.
To put in perspective, JJ is just as tall and weighs just as much as Paul Pierce except he plays SG. Huge mismatch.

Couldn't and Doesn't are two COMPLETELY different things. He has the ability to get to the rim when he wants just based of his ball handling ability alone.
He has the talent to be THAT DUDE. Huge Difference between Melo & Joe... One is HUNGRY & kills all over the court offensively. One is Chill and does his work strictly on the perimeter. HUGE Difference.

Exactly. The playoffs highlight how overpaid he is even more.
He has zero playoff runs where he dropped over 20 ppg.
Ridiculously overpaid, and Atlanta gave him that deal after he just finished a playoff run dropping 18 on 39% shooting, 22% from deep

So because you can dribble you can finish at the rim?
He doesn't because he can't. He can get to the rim but he can't finish, I'll stand by that.

Yo, all you old dogs (Lawdog, CP, SKA, ironically all LA sports fans are old as hell)
I don't feel like this is thread worthy, but I was looking at the Dream Team stats.
Why did Stockton only play 4 games??? In last years documentary on them, he looked well in 92. Was he hurt or something??
I've googled this for like a few minutes now and can't find anything on it. Hell the Dream Team wiki page mentions Stockton like 4 times total

Maybe having Magic as PG was a greater advantage?
My guess.

Maybe.... but Magic had to have been fat/out of shape as hell after not playing for so long right?
Plus Magic and Stockton were the only two PGs on the team. I'm sure they were just fine regardles.... kinda like how the '12 team didn't have any bigs
