Joe Johnson talks about his Nets turnaround and his development under head coach Jason Kidd. Photo credit NBA  by  +Rodney Fisher When the Brooklyn Nets started the 2013-14 NBA season, with a first-year head coach with a new roster of veterans, expectations where high.

After the Nets overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks (107-104), I had the chance to chat with six-time NBA All-Star Joe Johnson about the team's turnaround, his new coach, and what makes him so lucky in the final seconds of a game.
