Joe Johnson Helps A Good Cause
Posted by: Micah Hart on July 19, 2007 at 11:18AM EST

Joe Johnson has had a pretty quiet summer so far, taking care of his body after missing significant time with an injury for the first time in his career this past season. He is sitting out national team duty (certainly a potential cause for his breakdown a little bit last year, it seems to happen to many of the guys who play for their national team and don't get the summer off) to get healthy, and in the meantime, he is doing what I'm sure we'd all like to do with our time off - playing a little golf and a little poker. Ok, maybe that's just me.

Recently JJ took part in Memphis Grizzlies F Mike Miller's charity event in Tunica, Mississippi, participating in a poker tournament and sponsoring a putting contest to help benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Check out some pictures below from the event, which raised $25,000 for the Mike Miller Foundation (photos courtesy of Joe Murphy Photography).

WOW, not only does he have a big heart, but he could he just as good in golf as he is in basketball, jk. I'm just glad to see that he is healthy and is giving to a good cause.

Webguy we the hawks fans appreciate your updates and insight on what the hawks players are doing. However, you did us a real disservice by giving us an update on T-Lue when we have been waiting all summer on Info about what Chillz and Marvin have been doing to improve their games.
Webguy T-Lue before Chillz and Marvin, you cant be serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you Joe and don't get anymore injuries this season.If you do, your team is in trouble.You are their leader,and the leader isn't suppose to get hurt.
Do you hear me? Please don't get hurt again?
