Joe Johnson, Vince Carter, & Where to Go From Here.

I agree JJ is not in the same class as Nique, Magic, MJ, Bird, James, and Kobe. Wade is a cut above JJ but a cut below that HOF list. Kobe is right there IMO. Discounting, Pippen, Grant, and Rodman is not completely fair; but I do agree 100% MJ had a lot less to work with and did more than Magic and Bird.

Nique could average 28ppg in his prime on any team in the NBA; JJ is not capable of doing that even on a team like our previous 20 and 30 win season teams. JJ is not elite, but he is the closest to elite we have right now. I think of him as our Billups or a slightly better version of RIP; neither are elite but both are very good all-stars.

Yeah, I agree pretty much.
