"Quick didn’t get a chance to see it, but my favorite Johnson moment so far happened after the opening game of the season. Johnson was patiently waiting outside the visitor’s locker room. He was waiting for NBA veteran Steve Nash to come out. Johnson wanted to meet him and seek out some advice from the All-Star. Their meeting only lasted a few minutes, but Johnson wasn’t ready for his first official day in the NBA to end. He then spent about an hour in the loading dock signing autographs. His teammates were long gone and the security guards grew impatient. They were ready for the day to be over – Johnson wasn’t."

Yea it reminds me of when Martell Webster waited to meet Ray Allen. That worked out pretty well didn't it?

It's a lot easier to bring the positive news in when you have realistic expectations for the team. Until certain changes are made, I don't think we'll advance too deep into the playoffs..until then-I just enjoy the personalities we have on this team, whether it's Armon, Patty, or Wesly.

I do think once they get adjusted to the system completely, Aj and Wesley will be a force off of the bench. They both posses the will to get better and intelligence to find the ways to bring out the best in their talents. Who better to ask then Steve Nash, right?

Oh $hit thanks! I saw that one picture is Nik's avatar, but had no idea it was AJ!

6'3" with a body like his and speed that he has. Add with that the desire to be great. I think he's going to be a great ball player in a couple years.

Repped for posting something I otherwise wouldn't have seen, and for also being positive. Thanks MAS!

I counter with....

I think he took the wrong notes with the turnover king in the NBA over the past two years

Great stuff. Armon seems like a guy who gets 'it' and appreciates the position he's in.
