#DieHardFan #SeeRed #ChicagoBulls #JoakimNoah He maybe the #3Player!?!?! We dont expect Joakim Noah to say it like Derrick Rose did a few years back, though there was nothing wrong with that. But why cant Joakim Noah be the NBAs Most Valuable Player? Which is what we all thought when Rose said so before the 2010-11 NBA season. Cmon, are you serious? But as the Bulls were preparing to play the Brooklyn Nets Monday, Noah was one of the big stories of the NBA after Sundays nationally televised win over the Knicks when Noah dominated with one of the great triple doubles for a big man ever, 13 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists. Suddenly, instead of talking about Noah maybe making an All-Star team, which he now has as a reserve the last two seasons, high level NBA observers are wondering just how good Noah can be. TNT broadcaster Steve Kerr on Sirius NBA radio Monday said Noah could be the third best player in the NBA. Sure, no one is saying Noah is better than LeBron James or Kevin Durant. But if you are picking your team now, whom would you select after them? Would you take Dwight Howard over Noah? A few seasons ago for sure. But now? Consider the top players in the NBA and those likely to be among the top five in NBA voting: Chris Paul, Kevin Love, Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. Are you absolutely certain youd want one of them over Noah? You get into that debate what is it (MVP), said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau before Mondays game. Is it the most valuable player in the league? What a guy does for his team? Is it the winning component? To me, what Jo is doing for the team. Thats why I was so pleased with him being named to the All-Star team. Because statistically you can look at it and theyre (stats) good, but its his ability to lift a team up. Noahs helped do so for the Bulls, who came into Mondays game with a league best 21 wins since January 1st and second to the Pacers at 21-8. Noah is averaging 12.1 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists for the season.
