Although he only spent a little over a year and a half with the Utah jazz, Joe Johnson will always be a player whose name brings a smile to the faces of the Jazz faithful.
Like Sundiata Gaines‘ buzzer-beater against LeBron James and the Cavs or Paul Millsap‘s miracle in Miami, Iso Joe’s heroics against the LA Clippers during the 2017 NBA Playoffs represented a benchmark moment for the franchise.
