Amir Johnson is entering his thirteenth year in the league. Is that crazy or what? I don’t know about you, but every time I see how long Amir has been in the league, I’m caught off guard. He was the last player to be drafted straight out of high school so I guess it makes…

Amir Johnson 23 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (11/2/2016)
I don’t know why this rando ESPN commentator is so surprised/confused by the fact that Amir “United Arab Amirates” Johnson can hit threes. At the end of his Toronto Stint, Amir was taking and making a not-unsubstantial amount of threes. He was almost a stretch four for a little stretch of time there. Sure, his…

Amir Johnson has been in the league for ten years, but he’s only 28. He’s entering his prime right now, or maybe he’s already in his prime. Who knows. The point is, he’s both a longtime NBA veteran AND a player in his prime. That’s a killer combination. That’s the kind of combination where you…

Amir Johnson might actually be one of the best players on the Raptors, but nobody ever talks about him. That changes right now. Because I’m talking about him. Right now. Kyle Lowry is probably the only player you could definitely say is better. DeRozan is just a chucker who can’t shoot threes. Lou Williams is…

How is this even allowed? I like Amir Johnson. He’s a good player, plays with good energy, whatever whatever blah blah blah. But there is no reason why he should be allowed to wear #15 with the Raptors. That’s Vince’s number, and it always will be. When I saw Amir in those retro Purple dinosaur…

Did anybody else get triggered by the Raptor’s throwback jerseys? The last time I saw purple and pinstripes in the same place, I was dreaming that I was being chased by a T-Rex/Vince Carter hybrid through a dense jungle made out of basketball hoops. Seeing Amir Johnson hit three-pointers while wearing it made me have…

Amir Johnson was the last player to go to the NBA straight out of high school. Now players have to waste a year of their prime formative years playing for incompetent college coaches running bad systems while also having to pretend to go to classes. Amir might have been raw coming in to the league,…

Amir Johnson, cozy in his Snuggie, was again taking part in his favorite pastime: gauging the internet’s opinion of him. After watching an expertly-edited video entitled “Amir Johnson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2014)”, he scrolled down to view the comments.

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…

Amir Johnson is yet another player who has added a three point shot to his game. This is the new NBA. Everyone shoots threes. They’re efficient. To be a good player, you must shoot them. Luckily it seems to be mainly corner threes for now. It seems like he’s always been shooting the long two,…
