Maybe 2nd to the Bulls landing the #1 pick,
Noah and Thibs were the next best thing about the Bulls in the mid 00s.

Noah, Butler, Gibson, Deng.
That was fun basketball to watch.

He was an amazing passer, especially in the paint.
At the peak of his career, he was one of the best running big men in the game.
The Bulls really watched him develop from this scrawny kid from NY,
to a defensive powerhouse.
Both Noah and Butler developed into solid NBA players under that coaching staff.

And while both Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon were the stars of that 2008 series against the Celtics,
I'll mostly remember Joakim Noah's play.

ALSO, being a NY guy, he LOVED Chicago. Fully embraced the city.
Oh, that and the fact that he didn't like LeBron.
