Joe Johnson Reaches 20,000 Career Points
By TONY JONES | The Salt Lake Tribune
PORTLAND – One day, when his long and storied NBA career is finished, Utah Jazz forward Joe Johnson will sit and reflect on what he’s accomplished.
But on a night when he passed a major milestone in Portland, Johnson sat on a chair at his locker room stall, and promised not to think about the mountain he’s just climbed.
“I really don’t dwell on it,” Johnson said. “I’m just thinking about playing basketball, and helping this team win games.”
On a 3-pointer from the wing in the second quarter of Utah’s matchup against the Trail Blazers on Saturday night, Johnson became the 42nd player in NBA history to tally 20,000 points for a career.
