Listen to the Hawks news conference...

[Djaughe]

lol...is the introductory applause a sign of relief?

 

[Sundance]

Sounds like a pretty big-ass conference.

 

[fordronken]

"Great day in Hawks basketball history."

 

[mribnik]

lol...is the introductory applause a sign of relief?

I wouldn't be surprised if they had "Applause" signs up there telling them when to pretend to be excited.

 

[fordronken]

They realize it's just Joe Johnson, right?

 

[Dr. Jones]

"This day is truly about Joe Johnson and his family."

Yeah, that's about all i needed.

 

[Djaughe]

Geeze their sound system sounds like they dug it out of the closet from the 70's...So far folks are saying welcome.

 

[PrimeTime]

The people in attentance are actually cheering at the end of every statement. Unbelieveable

 

[Sundance]

They realize it's just Joe Johnson, right?

I was thinking the same thing.

They're acting as though they just signed Jesus Christ or something.

 

[Folster]

Congratulations to Joe and the Hawks. I wish Joe the best, but I want a good pick in 2007!

 

[PrimeTime]

They were saying the same thing about Harrington last year.

 

[Dr. Jones]

They Thanked Arn Tellum!!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Djaughe]

"We think Joe Johnson is that type of player....young, athletic, nice guy...everything we want to exemplify..we appreciate his patience and arm tellers patience..appreciate the phx. suns in staying with the deal..."

 

[PrimeTime]

Im sorta glad I can't see the look on Joe's face during this whole thing. It will just sicken me.

 

[Djaughe]

JJ: Appreciate the suns...Time for me to move on...closer to family...looking forward to this opportunity...

 

[Dr. Jones]

I want to thank Billy Knight for believing in me and giving me a chance.

I guess, Jerry C. and Frank Johnson didn't do anything for him.

Now they are introducing HIS FAMILY!!!!

 

[mribnik]

Is it really necessary to introduce family friends?

 

[KANIDJA]

wtf? introducing family friends? who cares?

 

[Folster]

Wow! They are treating Joe as if he is the second coming of Larry Bird.

 

[Chaplin]

Listening to Joe is excruciating. Was he this bad in Phoenix?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Wanted to come back down south which is home for me.

Blah.....

 

[fordronken]

Joe can play four positions?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Joe can play 4 positions????

EDIT: JINX!!

 

[mribnik]

Listening to Joe is excruciating. Was he this bad in Phoenix?

All I remember was his interview during one of the games he sat out against the Spurs. It was pretty bad as well...

 

[Djaughe]

"We think Joe is a versitle player that can make decisions on the court...we see alot of things in his game..."
