You know you’re a great player when an entire country is named after you. Like Michael Jordan. And, uh, Jordan Crawford. And Amir Johnson. Sure, United Arab Emirates isn’t exactly the same spelling, but I’d say it still counts. But under no circumstances should he ever visit there. That country is like 60% dudes. No more dudes needed.
Canada needs him more than anybody. He’s the adhesive that holds the Raptors together. There’s a name for that kind of player. Adhesive Man? Something like that. Anyway, Amir has always been underrated, the kind of guy who knows what he can do on the court and doesn’t make many mistakes. Unless you count fouls as mistakes. Because he does a lot of that.
