This video is well overdue. Josh Johnson has been on my radar since last Summer at Future Stars where, playing for the RUTC side, he was one of the only players not intimidated by the international competition, taking it to opposing teams using his quickness to penetrate and score or dish.
This year at the Euroleague Nike International Junior Tournament now playing for Barking Abbey, it was the same story. At just 5’11 and 178lbs, Johnson (D.O.B. 20/09/92) was unstoppable, leading the Barking Abbey team that surprised everyone, having a number of big games including 27, 7, and 6 against KK Zadar (and a ranking of 41!) in the opening game and being named to the All Tournament team ahead of a number of top junior European talent.
Anyway, check out the video and drop a comment below!
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
