After being drafted by Boston in 2001, Iso Joe has made stops in Phoenix, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Miami, Utah, and Houston. Always a high volume scorer and an incredibly clutch player, at one point even hitting three game winning shots in the span of a week for the Brooklyn Nets.
He was a key piece on the pioneering “7 second or less” Suns team led by Steve Nash, reaching the conference finals before falling to the eventual champion San Antonio Spurs.
He was then shipped to Atlanta and immediately became their star player, he led them in scoring for his entire tenure as a Hawk, making the playoffs for five straight seasons before he was carted off to Brooklyn.
He would continue his playoff streak in New York and made his last all-star appearance as a Net in 2013-14. Joe Jesus certainly has the accolades, but he may or may not make the Hall of Fame. If he doesn’t he will be the highest scoring player to not be enshrined.
