There's a lesson here kids--even an NBA player with a notoriously slow release on his jumpshot is still an NBA player.

Johnson was back in Canada (as you can see from the Raptors logos in the video) this week promoting the NBA for a Campus Pass event at Ryerson University.  The free activities for fans included "shooting skills competitions," which may or may not have consisted of the chance to get smoked by Johnson in pop-a-shot.

The Celtics big man also did a brief interview with SportsNet.ca, with the most notable portion likely being the reporter's confusion about when Boston signed Al Horford (before Jared Sullinger went to Toronto).
