PORTLAND, Ore. — While everybody was focusing on the NBA veterans the Utah Jazz picked up this offseason, one of those old guys was apparently soaking in the fountain of youth.

Some might jokingly want to call him Grandpa Joe or Old Man Johnson.

Others might refer to him as The Time Machine.

Either way, 35-year-old Joe Johnson, looking like Joe Johnson of 2006, put on a show in the second half of the Jazz’s season-opener Tuesday night at the Moda Center.
