That HoopsHype piece by Eddie Johnson

It’s one of the best “insider” pieces I’ve ever read. Another reason I love EJ.

I don’t have an opinion on what training camp should be like, and if I did, it would not by my place to say so; but I have to think that the old school camps made players tougher than they are now. They sound like basic training.

Having spent

two month’s in basic training in the late 80’s, I can assure you that what EJ describes is nothing of the sort

I stand corrected. Worse than what E.J. describes?

Better!

Phoenix Stan never had to defend Michael Jordan.

The more I hear Dudley talk the more I like him.

He reminds me of a young EJ.

How?—in that Dudley is intelligent?

Except

Eddie had a sweet jump shot. He could score 20 points in a quarter. Don’t see Dudley doing that.

True story

Growing up, my folks split season tickets with another couple so I got to go to a lot f games, especially back at the Madhouse. There was an older lady who sat next to us who loved the Suns — except for Eddie Johnson. Whenever he got the ball, she’d yell “Oh, not that number 8!” (I’m guessing this is because he was a streak shooter.) Of course, half the time he’d do exactly what Hawk42 just said — drop double digits in a quarter or 20+ in a half — and then she was very quiet the rest of the game.
