Despite trade rumors swirling around him, Cam Johnson will represent the Nets in the 3-point contest at All-Star weekend, an honor he cherishes. His general manager, Sean Marks, informed him of his participation, showcasing Johnson’s strong shooting skills and dedication. The Nets, performing well defensively with a recent record of four wins out of five, are in a good contesting position. Coach Jordi Fernandez praises the team’s defensive efforts, especially from Nic Claxton and Day'Ron Sharpe, as crucial for their ongoing success.
Sean [Marks, general manager] pulled me aside the other day and said that they invited me to do it, so it's an honor.
It means a lot. It's a skill set I pride myself on and something I take really seriously. So, yeah, it's a big-time opportunity.
Everyone dreams of playing in an All-Star Game. I'm not there, but I'll be involved in the weekend to some extent.
This stretch, the last five games, we're sixth defensively, and [Claxton] and Day'Ron were really, really good, and we need that level of energy.
