Joe Johnson is one of the best clutch performers in NBA history.
You can debate some of the latter of his seven All-Star selections and whether or not he deserves the honor of being one of the highest-paid athletes of all time, but one thing that is not put into question is his ability to rip out the hearts of opposing teams with late-game daggers and game-winners.
Even now, as a 35-year-old veteran coming off the bench for the Utah Jazz, the man they call “Joe Jesus” can still perform miracles.
We’re only five games into Utah's first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers, and Johnson has already buried two late-game shots to propel two of the three Jazz victories.
