He's playing right now on ESPN---- Heat vs. Celtics. 

Here's the box score so far-

8-15 for 17 points.

Joe played his ass off last night. He has had a great year and the Heat are going to make a run in the playoffs in the east this year.

I like Joe Johnson.  Glad he was a Razorback.  Tis a shame, however, that's he not given one red cent to the University that spawned his career.

I see what you are saying but who do you think needs the money more, the community he was raised in Little Rock(which he does support) or the University of Arkansas who gets donations from any and everybody?

Both.  It's not like he is on a budget.  One of the wealthiest athletes ever to come out of Arkansas.  You'd think he could spare a dime for the University.

Huh?  He was playing well in a game

How do you know he hasn't? Why do you care?

You mean the University that was too cheap to build a practice facility for basketball despite the fact that it had just won a national championship? I wouldn't give a flying fart in space to the U of A if was Joe Johnson

He moves in those circles and knows people who would know.  He gives a lot to the University himself, and therefore would like a former player who makes 23 million a year to share the load.

I couldn't care less about the green from him.
I'd like to see Basketball Support from him.  Pimp us, promote us, hype us, sell us, etc.

Evidently he has given money to the school.

"Whether sponsoring a Jammin' for Jackets fundraiser basketball tournament, donating money to his alma mater, supporting Mike Beebe's 2010 re-election bid or working a basketball camp at the UA, Johnson again and again comes back to his roots." - Arkansasonline

I don't know about Joe donating to the UofA but he has always been a proud Razorbacks and followed the Hogs and reps us. Not to mention the large billboard that hung in NYC forever

Oh yes that is it! I can tell you in the know!!! LOL!!

[pigture perfect]

I'm proud of Joe. I don't recall him ever making headlines except for his play. I believe he reps us better than most.

I agree with this. His community needs the money WAY more than the university. At some point he may give to the UofA.

I hope that Joe and the Heat run thru the east and beat the crap out of Cleveland.

Every time he plays the Grizz in Memphis, he sends bus loads of LR kids to the game.

Sweet to see.

Go Joe!
