Since his arrival in Toyama for the start of the 2011-12 season, Masashi Joho, aka the consummate competitor, has been as fiercely determined to win as any player in the bj-league.
What¡¯s more, he changed the course of franchise history when he first donned a Grouses uniform, helping transforming a moribund club into a perennial playoff outfit.
Joho, the league¡¯s 2013-14 regular-season MVP, who happens to share the same English initials as a pair of all-time greats (Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, for those who may be uncertain), lived up to his stellar reputation in the series finale on Sunday against the host Aomori Wat¡¯s. The veteran guard scored a game-high 22 points, knocking down four big 3-pointers, with four assists and two steals for good measure in Toyama¡¯s 92-69 bounce-back victory over Aomori.
