    I guess it depends on what a "lead player" is.

    Joe Johnson isn't a superstar if that's what this is about but.. after Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade, how many shooting guards can you say are heads and shoulders above Joe Johnson?

    He looked like a leader to me in the Celtics-Hawks playoff series last season.

    Joe Johnson is legit. I think him and Josh Smith have led this team well.

    This reminded me of how good that Phoenix team was when JJ and crew was still there (minus Quentin, he's just trash). They could've been a real monster had the group stayed together a couple more years.
