Joe Johnson is one of the best players in the league...he just doesn't get noticed as much because non-hawks fans don't watch him. Now they get to see him....
Then he must not be Elite then....I'v never known an Elite player in the NBA who doesn't get noticed by ppl outside of their home town fans....Good player yes!...Future Elite of the NBA maybe....But not Elite as of right now

explain to me how anyone can watch him the hawks have not been on natl tv before this playoff series in almost a decade?

thats a terrible excuse....even if the Hawks arent aired alot...I mean if hes such an Elite why isn't he on ESPN alot...the Hornets wasn't aired much alot before the playoff but pretty much every1 reconizes that Chris Paul is 1 of the best.....& this is his what 6th year in the league & this is only Chris Paul's 2nd

so in other words u dont have a rational answer so u just rambled on for a few incoherent sentences to try and trick people into taking your side?
Not true, they used to be, but that could have been a looooong time ago. I could be thinking more recently of DA Bulls on WGN
well they have never been on tbs since ive been a fan which would be the mid 90's.. so either way thats irrelevant since joe has only be on the hawks for 3 years

U seem to dont have an answer either....I was askin the other guy but since u started this thread u tell me why other ppl dont reconize him as an Elite......My answer is because hes NOT!
Joe dosent really do anything spectacular. He gets the job done and is a really smart/crafty player. That's why he made the olympic team. He's kind of like the Tim Duncan of the 2 guard poisition. Does all the fundamentals and usually stays away from being too flashy.

Thats a good way to put it.He gets the job done and isnt too flashy.Just a nice solid, fundamental, elite player.Duncan's not flashy,but you cant argue against him being elite.Now i know Duncan has rings,but maybe JJ will get some in his career(he's only 26).Plus,Duncan has been on some great teams to get those rings.

dont you love it when you start a topic and in your initial post make numerous thought provoking statements to back up your opinion.. and then you get brilliant responses like the one above?
maybe you should go back to the kiddie boards dude.. cuz im sick of people thinking they can simply state their opinion and not back it up whatsoever or address the points others make. the worst part is you actually think simply stating your opinion is sufficient. if that was the case we could just go in circles all day.
he is
no hes not
but i said he is
but i said hes not
but since i said he is im right
no your wrong
Thats because Tim Duncan actually is an Elite but im not gonna compare him to Duncan cus hes has Championship rings....a more comparible guy would be Dirk Nowitki who can shoot & whos gm isn't flashy & does't rely on crossovers
I think he is good, but you have to define elite. If you say top 10...id say no. top 15 or 20 maybe yeah. You can't say hes been carrying his team, after all he got them the 8 seed in the east. You mentioned T-Mac, but you know he could do atleast that. Look what the rockets have done in the WEST. Kobe without Pau or Bynum could be 500 in the east. Other players can say the same

the difference is Dirk is Elite & Joe is not...
you make zero sense. but i guess because the almighty terror 9999 said it i should take it to the bank?
please make an effort to make a logical arguement in the future.
here is a outline of how to do so:
step 1- do some research on the subject- this usually helps so you don't sound like a dumbass when you talk
step 2- form your opinion
step 3- present your opinion logically and provide some sort of supported evidence to back up your claim
step 4- cite your sources- anybody can spout off bs but it doesnt hold any water unless you can prove what you say

i dont think he is top 10.. but there are more than 10 elite players in the league.
