Joe Johnson Biography
Joe Johnson is a retired professional basketball player known for his scoring ability and versatility on the court. Nicknamed Iso Joe for his proficiency in isolation plays, Johnson spent 18 seasons in the NBA with seven franchises and is among the select group of players to surpass 20,000 career points. During his collegiate career at the University of Arkansas, Johnson earned recognition including Arkansas Mr. Basketball, SEC All-Freshman Team, and SEC Rookie of the Year before declaring for the NBA Draft, where he was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 10th overall pick.
After being drafted by the Celtics, Johnson developed into a versatile scorer with the Phoenix Suns. His career reached new heights with the Atlanta Hawks, where he made six consecutive NBA All-Star teams and signed a six-year, $123.7 million contract, one of the largest in NBA history at the time. Johnson received All-NBA Third Team honors after averaging 21.3 points per game and led the Hawks to the postseason five times during his tenure. He earned the nicknames Iso Joe and Big Shot Joe for his effectiveness in high-pressure, late-game situations.
Johnson demonstrated durability by playing all 82 games in five seasons and leading the league in minutes played during one campaign. He was named NBA Player of the Week seven times and earned NBA Player of the Month honors for March. At the time of his retirement, Johnson was the last active NBA player to have played alongside Michael Jordan. Over his career, he accumulated seven All-Star selections, an All-NBA Third Team nod, more than 20,000 regular-season points, and over $217 million in salary.
Following his NBA career, Johnson competed in the BIG3 basketball league, where he led the Triplets to a championship and earned MVP honors. He became a three-time BIG3 MVP and the league's all-time leading scorer. Johnson was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, highlighting his impact on basketball in the state. His NBA career briefly resumed when the Boston Celtics signed him to a 10-day hardship contract, marking a return nearly two decades after his initial stint with the team.
Beyond basketball, Johnson is the founder and owner of Iso Yoga, a hot yoga studio in his hometown, reflecting his involvement in entrepreneurship and community engagement.
