Miami Heat: 3 players most likely to mix it up when called for

3. James Johnson

This answer goes without saying right? While James Johnson is a candidate to be the most likely to mix it up, what fool would even go there with him?

While you might ask why that’s a question, it is well known public knowledge that JJ is a high-level martial artist. If that thought alone doesn’t scare you, consider the fact that he is near 6’8 and 240 pounds(or more considering he was dismissed from training camp due to a conditioning issue, but that’s another story).

Can you imagine that coming your way with a spinning roundhouse kick to the chops? Probably not, and if you can, why would you want to? Seems like a first-degree homicide in the making to me, or sheer stupidity at it’s finest for the kicked in the mouth party.

In case you are one of those who need to see it to believe it types, here is a vivid example of how James Johnson operates. Notice he wasn’t involved really at the start of the mishap, but he was more than happy and willing to be a part of the finish.

James Johnson’s reputation obviously precedes him. If you’ll notice and while he’s still yapping ever so slightly, Ben Simmons appears to be doing more pulling away than anything. If you ask the guy constructing this wonderful epic of a piece, Simmons does not want that smoke and it shows here.

While we want James Johnson to get into better shape in order to report to training camp to start the season with the rest of his team, this is why we are glad to have him on our side. He isn’t afraid of anything, but he seems willing to handle or make himself apart of everything that threatens the space of or violates one of his teammates. Stay you JJ, never change.

While there could have been a few more names on this list, these would definitely be the top three. Udonis Haslem was a close fourth here because you don’t want problems with UD either, believe me.

Goran Dragic would be a tough fifth place here because he can come off a bit nuts at times as well(think bloody smile or toothless Goran), but the aforementioned were the top three. Either way you want to approach it, the members of this Heat team are a major part of what makes them so rough, tumble, and tough as a unit, but these have been the three that would be most likely to mix things up if need be.
