Keyboard Warrior | James is known as Jaylen Johnson Jr! The 2021 first-round picks are ridiculously good

[Post-game post] The Hawks defeated the Jazz 132-122 and won four consecutive games.

Hawks star Jaylen Johnson scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals in the first half. He was the first player in NBA history to have at least 20+5+5+5 steals in a half. In the whole game, he played 40 minutes and 16 seconds, making 10 of 19 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 11 free throws, scoring 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and 7 steals. All four statistics set a career high, and he became the first player in NBA history to achieve this statistic.

Jaylen Johnson is the first player since Chris Paul in 2009 to achieve a 30+7 steal triple-double. This is Jaylen Johnson's first triple-double this season and the third triple-double of his career.

After the game, foreign fans are going crazy for Jaylen Johnson. Let’s take a look at their fancy praises:

Spurs fans: Close to a quad double, and nearly 20 rebounds and 15 assists? My mother!

It 's real funny how Hawks fan have been begging the FO to trade for a superstar to help Trae and Jalen Johnson went "fuck it, I 'll do it myself "

Raptors fans: It's so funny. Hawks fans have been pleading with the management to trade a superstar to help Trae Young, but Jaylen Johnson directly said, "Fuck it, I'll do it myself."

God damn those are like Jokic or Westbrook triple double numbers

Raptors fans: Oh my god, these numbers are like Jokic or Westbrook triple double numbers.

They’re “never before been done” numbers

Fans: This is “unprecedented” data.

he’s like lebron but better

Hawks fans: LeBron, known as Jaylen Johnson Jr.

[–]HawksDorkandPoon 160 points 5 hours ago

Our own mini LeBron. Getting Jalen in the 2021 draft probably saved this franchise

Hawks fans: Our own mini LeBron. Drafting Jaylen in 2021 may have saved this team.

Like Magic, but Jalen-er

Hawks fans: Like Magic (Ervin Johnson), but more "Jalen-er".

He was phenomenal. We have come so far from Nate McMillian DNPs 3 years ago. Jalen is 23 years old btw.

Hawks fans: He was phenomenal. Thinking about Nate McMillan benching him three years ago, we really came out on top. By the way, Jaylen is only 23 years old.

The first round of the 2021 class is genuinely insane looking back. 7 of them are either already All Stars or will make one soon (Cade, Mobley, Barnes, Giddey, Wagner, Sengun, Jalen Johnson) and then there 's like 15 other guys who are good role players at least.

And then there 's the Hornets who somehow walked away with James Bouknight and Kai Jones...

Celtics fans: Looking back at the first round of the 2021 draft is crazy. Seven are or will soon be All-Stars (Cunningham, Mobley, Barnes, Guiddy, Wagner Jr., Shen Jing, Jaylen Johnson), and about 15 are at least excellent role players. And then there's the Hornets, who somehow drafted James Bouknight and Kai Jones...

Clippers fans: This is fucking insane.

Hawks fans: The first player in NBA history to hit this stat line.

[–]Raptorsheat_fan_ 109 points 5 hours ago

Absolutely insane stat line

Raptors fans: This stat sheet is simply outrageous.

[–]HawksBlumpkin_Party 249 points 5 hours ago

Hawks fans: This is about to usher in a superstar leap.

[–]Hawksjwn0323 337 points 5 hours ago

Please stay healthy for 65 games. I’m begging.

Hawks fans: Please stay healthy for 65 games. I beg you.

[–]BullsGuyWithNoSwagger 82 points 4 hours ago

Should make all nba imo

Bulls fans: If you ask me, he should be in the best team.

[–]HawksMegaMatrix08 302 points 5 hours ago

ALL STAR, actually ALL NBA, actually MVP???

Hawks fans: All-Star? No, it’s the best lineup! No, MVP? ? ?

[–]HawksGallantTrack 102 points 5 hours ago

HE 'S DONE MIRACLES ON ME

Hawks fans: He is a miracle to me!

[–]LakersExpensive-Salad-7828 263 points 5 hours ago

Jalen Johnson I was not familiar with your game

Lakers fans: Jaylen Johnson, forgive me for being blind before.

[–]Hawksminnyman2011 159 points 5 hours ago

He’s been a consistent 20/10/5 guy the last few years but he taking the next step is so huge.

[–]Hawksnot-a-potato-head 99 points 5 hours ago

First time in NBA history that stat line has happened btw

Hawks fans: By the way, this stat line has happened for the first time in NBA history.

[–]Hawksminnyman2011 37 points 5 hours ago

This was the next step hawks fans knew he could take. He’s been an efficient 20/10/5 guy for a few years now (when healthy) but it’s awesome to see him taking advantage of the high usage in traes absence. The hawks finally making 3s helps with spacing and assist numbers but Holy shit what an all around beast let’s fucking go JJ

Hawks fans: This is exactly the step that Hawks fans know he can take. He's been an efficient 20+10+5 player for a few years now (when healthy), but it's great to see him handle a high usage rate with Trae Young out.. The Hawks are finally shooting threes, which helps with spacing and assist numbers, but holy shit, what an all-around beast this is! Come on JJ!

[–]ThunderNew_Essay_4869 44 points 5 hours ago

I hope he keeps doing this. He is so good man. Like future MVP-level if he keeps his defensive focus consistent

Thunder fans: Hope he can keep it up. He's too strong, bro. If he can maintain his defensive focus, he will be at the MVP level in the future.

[–]HawksJKking15 35 points 5 hours ago

He’s without a doubt an all star, the question is how far can I push the agenda?

Hawks fans: He is undoubtedly an All-Star, the question is how can I build momentum?

[–]SloveniaHelpFindMyWillToLive 51 points 5 hours ago

I can’t wait to watch this team when trae comes back

Slovenia fans: I can’t wait to see what this team will look like when Trae Young returns.
