Throwback Joe Johnson Obliterates Jusuf Nurkic's Ankles, Also Hits Absurd Game-Winner
Sure, Joe Johnson isn’t a very good basketball player anymore and his contract weighs upon the Nets like a millstone. But he can still ball occasionally, and goddamn this move is dirty. Jusuf Nurkic has probably never before shamed the proud Nurkic name like he did tonight.
And Johnson wasn’t done. Later he went and banked in this preposterous covered, off-the-dribble, one-footed, deep three-pointer.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, how do you feel about that shot?
Me too, man, me too.
