Noah's Game

Joakim Noah is one of those once in a lifetime players, like LeBron, Kobe, and Durant. But the thing that makes me put Joakim higher than any superstar in the NBA, is his work ethic and attitude. Sure LeBron is the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league, but you don't see him diving, yelling, and grabbing 15 rebounds a game. Same goes to Kobe and Durant. They are all talented, no doubt about that, but I just love Noah's game.

Tonight he proved that he isn't worth trading for Carmelo. If the Bulls trade Noah, Gibson, and Deng for Anthony, that gives up about 40 points and 25+ rebounds. Its not worth it. And Joakim showed that tonight. He posted 13 points, 19 rebounds, and 4 blocks and Taj posted 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Also Deng put up 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

Noah is the heart and soul of this team, and is the glue that holds everything in place. Another player like Noah is very unlikely to be found.
