Looking forany autographJoe Johnson
One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Joe Johnson: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
"Iso Joe" came to Utah in 2016 with seven All-Star selections and one of the surest one-on-one games of his generation. The Arkansas Razorback went 10th to Boston in 2001 and made his name in Atlanta, where he earned the nickname for his isolation play and led the Hawks back to the playoffs after a nine-year drought. He retired among just 52 NBA players with 20,000 points.
A Boys and Girls Club kid from Little Rock Central High — alma mater of Brooks Robinson and Bill Dickey — Johnson was Arkansas Mr. Basketball as a state champion senior. When he stepped away, he was the last active NBA player to have shared a floor with Michael Jordan.
HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed a two-year, $22 million contract on July 8, 2016 and beat the Clippers with a buzzer-beater in Game 1 of the 2017 playoffs. Out of the rotation a year later, his expiring contract went to Sacramento in the Jae Crowder trade.

JOE JOHNSON · 7 NOTES- Hit the game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 1 of the 2017 playoffs against the Clippers.
- Boston brought him back at 40 on a ten-day deal, 19 years after his last Celtics game, making him and Dirk Nowitzki the only men to score for one team at 20 and at 40.
- He signed with Utah expecting to come off the bench, then started opening night because Gordon Hayward broke a finger, and scored 29 in his Jazz debut.
- Three times the BIG3 named him its most valuable player, and he became that league's all-time leading scorer.
- In 2023 he opened Iso Yoga, a hot yoga studio in Atlanta, crediting the practice with rescuing his knees and Achilles years earlier.
- His 20,407 career points make him the most prolific NBA scorer Arkansas has produced, ahead of Scottie Pippen.
- His last Jazz season brought career lows across the board — 7.3 points in 22 minutes a night and 27.4 percent from three.
