I have proof: Flip’s staff didn’t love Amir or what he stood for

I AM FREE!!!!

What’s Going on World?

John W. Davis.  We all know Amir Johnson is not perfect.  He is a young player that needs to play to his strengths of rebounding, blocking, and shooting a high field goal percentage.  Don’t ask him to do everything.  Don’t ask him to be an All-Star right out of the gates.

Okay, I’m done just check this mess out.  Props to the Det News for exposing this.

Somewhere there is a former Pistons assistant coach who ought to be checking his vital signs. Two years ago, the assistant on Flip Saunders’ coaching staff looked at Amir Johnson clanking one ugly-looking jumper after another during warmups and said, “As long as I am alive, Amir Johnson will never be in an NBA rotation.”

Well sir, don’t look now. Johnson will not only be in the rotation for tonight’s opener against the Pacers, he will be the starting power forward for a Pistons team that again is expected to contend for the Eastern Conference title.

“Who said that? Damn,” Johnson said. “That’s OK. That just gives me fuel. Whoever the doubters are, man, I am going to prove everybody wrong.”
