He’s (supposedly) retired, so it seems like a good time to take a look back.

Orlando’s win last night in Atlanta was something of a statement game. The Magic were coming off a tough last-second loss at home the night before and the winner of this game would sit atop the Southeast Division. The Magic are playing without Jameer Nelson, so they need either Jason Williams or Anthony Johnson to step it up on a nightly basis, and last night it was the 35-year-old Johnson. He posted 17 points, three assists and two rebounds in just 21 minutes.
Dwight Howard had 22 points and 17 rebounds, while Vince Carter chipped in with 21 points and nine boards.
Michael Beasley had 15 points and 12 rebounds in Miami’s 99-98 win over the Magic last night. But his most important bucket came on the final play of the game, when Beasley slammed home a Dwyane Wade’s attempted game-winner, which fell short of the rim. Here’s a look:
With the win, Miami is 9-5, while the Magic fall to 11-4.
I love his answer when they ask him, “what’s the one thing you would you bring back from Rome?”
The Thunder beat the Jazz last night in Utah, 104-94, behind Kevin Durant’s 28 points, eight assists, five rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot. Oklahoma City is improved, but this is a game that the Jazz *should* win. They have two All-Star caliber players in Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, along with a slew of good role players. The Thunder should not be beating the Jazz on their home court.
But they did. Durant’s line was very nice, especially the eight assists. He’s not a great playmaker, but he’s getting better. Jeff Green added 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, and is turning into a very nice complementary player for KD.
