TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I wish the big homie all the best in New Jersey ( except when he plays us ). Whether you liked the dude or not, he did provide some pretty good moments while a Hawk. Here is my top 10. 10) Showing his array of skills in Boston Garden ( 2010 ) Qne of my favorite game clips of the dude. Watch what he does to Ray Allen @ 1:10 http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_guZQF4OoA 9) The Ankle Breaker ( 2011 playoffs vs Bulls ) Keith Bogans ain't been the same since. Get up Keith . . . Get up!! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDwzej7h9PE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) 8) First Game Winner At Buzzer in ATL ( 2007 ) At least I believe this was his first one as a Hawk. It had to be because he was too happy. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVQOO7L03T4 7) Game Winner vs the Bobcats ( 2010 ) 2010 was the year of buzzer beaters and nail biters for the Hawks. JJ beats the Cats right here. Josh's offensive rebound slam vs Orlando to beat them, would come 5 days later http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d8GNSRphkc Edited July 4, 2012 by northcyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 6) Ridiculous Shot ( 2008 ) Way too much dribbling on this dang play, but don't worry, JJ will knock it down to seal the game. This is ISO JOE at his worst and best at the same dang time. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdzsExumPhA 5) Ridiculous Shot . . the Sequal ( 2012 ) Four years later, he does something similar to the Clippers. Except he banks this one in. McGrady was like . . "Look up dude. Stop dribbling and shoot the dang ball man." http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FteBTzmXlT8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) 4) I Don't Care if Nique Is Your Uncle ( 2012 ) Ice cold for 1st half of the game, JJ scores 28 in the 2nd half and OT to beat the Pistons. This shot to tie the game is maybe the most difficult of his late game clutch shots he's made in his career. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkkG5RStQh8 3) The Ultimate "Heat Check" Shot ( 2009 playoffs ) . . and he got fouled . . but it wasn't called. D-Wade played 2nd fiddle to the real superstar ( in this game ). This is what you call "range" folks. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRymj8S60KQ Edited July 4, 2012 by northcyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 4, 2012 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 2) Stealing Game 1 vs the Bulls ( 2011 playoffs ) If just for one game, the Hawks and JJ gave us a reason to believe that this team might pull off something great. The Bulls had no answer for Mr. Johnson on this night, who played like a true superstar that night. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=puBcHqdfm7c 1) You Know What It Is ( 2008 playoffs ) Game 4 . . the ankle breaker on Powe . . Woody with the He-Man "I got the power" cheer . . 20 points in the 4th quarter . . arguably the best playoff game in ATL history. As of right now, this is his signature moment in his career. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=nheRrtNOcnI Good luck in Brooklyn homie. You were a good, sometimes great Hawk. Definitely deserve to have your name and number hanging up in Philips one day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) All of my most memorable JJ moments are dunks. He had 4 this season, so I'm guessing that's about his average or a little higher, compared to 33 for Teague. Most of them come on leak outs when he's alone, as it's always impressive and surprising to see him beat anyone down the floor, then he does the little lay-in dunk. Sometimes after the play is over, he'll do a little drop step dunk to show the fans he actually can if he's near the rim. Joe gets about 1 in the halfcourt every season, and they always blow my mind. If I'm not mistaken, he dunked with two hands in light traffic against the Celtics in a regular season game. I think in LeBron's last year with Cleveland, he posted up David West (who's a damn good post defender for his size), turned on him as West stayed with him driving to the rim, and dunked dead in his grill with a forceful one-handed tomahawk. It was on a much smaller player, but still, the most aggressive play at the rim that I've ever seen Joe make.

Guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Good Job North, i remember all of those. I especially love those agains the Celts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 yeah, anything against the celts.despite being over joyed at getting rid of the contract, i did like the guy and it will be weird to see him play against us next year. i think having deron next to him will really up his game that seemed to be slipping here the past year or two. best of luck to him (except against us of course).

NJHAWK Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 As skilled a player as you can find especially in that game v s Boston. Lebron cant ball like that and make those spectacular 1 on 3 plays like Joe did in that game, he just barrells at the rim using his size and his refs. Kudos to BK for realizing his potential when most thought he was just a role player in Phoenix. Shame we didnt get more out of Joes glory years as a team. That said he is on the downside and the trade had to be made if we ever want a crack at the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if Deron can bring out the best in him. If he does, it'll be just another "what if" question we fans will have about the last 5 years. No crack of the title comes, if we don't make this Dwight Howard trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkrule152 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Man, EVERYTIME i see #1 i still get chills.. TO HELL WITH THE CELTICS!Have to say, Ill still be checking his statline every game in Brooklyn. Do the damn thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksBalla Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah, it'll be hard to find another shooter at that size and strength. I'll miss his jumper, NOT his attitude. He'll make an excellent Pippen, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHawks89 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Definitely going to miss Joe. Good #1 choice. I remember that like it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfhawkfan Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 The night of the tornado that messed up the dome roof, we were playing the clips. Joe hit a "heat check" three a dribble inside the time-line. My fav joe moment. Him and Craw were two of the best tough-shot makers I've seen.

That's how I remember it, because I was so upset because it was Joe's best dunk ever but it didn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered an And 1 because West couldn't have had more chest and elbow contact. By far the most poster-worthy finish of Joe's Atlanta career.
