The Atlanta Hawks guard, at some points throughout the season, was inconsistent and forward Josh Smith played better then him.
Johnson was signed to a mega-$119-million-deal from Atlanta in 2010, but in no way has he lived up to that at all so far. No offense to Johnson, but I want to know who voted him at fifth-place.

There needs to be only voting for first-through-third on the MVP-ballot. There is no need to know how many people voted this player with fourth-and-fifth-place votes. There needs to be a change to the MVP-balloting system. There is no way Johnson should've gotten a single vote.
