Joe Johnson at the Brooklyn facility

[Guest]

Joe throwing out first pitch at Yankee Stadium tonight. I wonder if he ever had the opportunity to do it at a Braves game? anybody know.

Didn't take long.

And he was supposed to say, I suppose, "I hate being here. I can't believe Atlanta traded me out of nowhere. I should retire rather than play after being traded out of respect for idiots on the internet that hated me because of a contract no one would turn down." Too easy.

I can honestly say I've never seen Joe do that or even be acknowledge at all by the other teams in Atlanta.

I bet it feels good to be wanted.

Someone on here has a pic of Joe in the Braves dugout with Bobby Cox.

Good lawd are you sensitive. He could of just said "I'm excited".

But did he throw out the first pitch? I have no idea. I don't know what it really matters if he did or didn't but its still nice of the Yankees to let him throw it out as soon as he was traded.

You said he had talked badly about Atlanta or its fan. He did neither. I can only respond to what you wrote.

Wonder how much the Nets paid the Yankees to get people who have probably never heard of Joe to think that he's a superstar.

That looks like last season (Unless that's when Frediot was 3rd base coach), why would he still dress like it's 1998?

I have no idea but that sorta thing is the Yankee way, plus the Nets are brand new to Brooklyn so there's that new team excitement.

He explicitly stated that he hadn't been that excited to be on a team since he was in Phoenix...... Seeing as you were dangling from his teet the whole time, there's no way you could have missed the 7 years, All Star selections, playoffs and 185 million dollars he made during his time in Atlanta but apparently that didn't really register much emotion out of Joe.

Lame.

He was literally just traded from Atlanta. You think he's going to wax nostalgic immediately over that? He's playing with the best player he's ever played with in Deron Williams. Why shouldn't he be excited?

Nash?

[Sothron]

Nash?

I repeat, he's playing with the best player he's ever played with now in Deron Williams. Nash couldn't hold Deron's jock when it comes to playing defense.

Joe is a real good player, but is already going out of his way to hate on his time in Atlanta. Why are you so obsessed with defending someone that Hawk fans have every responsibility to dislike? And saying that Deron Williams is better than Nash in his prime isn't going to help your credibility.

No, there's no way that he should "wax nostalgic" over the team that made him who he is.

I'm just glad this bum isn't on my team anymore. It was clear he wasn't going to resign with us until the front office offered him that ridicolous contract.

Deron is better than a back to back league MVP? Man you've gone off the deep end!
