Haven't seen one of these reverse jams look as effortless as James Johnson made it look tonight against the Wizards. Maybe that's why Mike Miller gave Johnson a high fiver and then followed it up with the ole "im so incredulous" shrug.
Pretty neat feat that James Johnson was able to impress Miller because Miller is kind of the "Mr. Seen-it-all" for players making incredible moves within the last decade. Remember, Miller started his career playing with the in-his-prime T-Mac in Orlando. Then Miller played with fanciest schmaniest of passers, Jason Williams on the Grizzlies. More recently, he was a role player on the Heat next to Dwyane Wade and Lebron James; two guys known to make other world-type basketball shots pretty regularly.
All of that just to say that tonight James Johnson basically achieved the equivalent of "impressing Mikaela Maroney ('12 Summer Olympic Gymnast)" or if you want to be more relevant, "impressed Ashley Wagner ('13 Winter Olympic skater)".
Shoulda made a gif of a pleased Mike Miller face, you say? Yeah, probably.
