  2. Everyone is free to say who their favorite player was on this team after Jordan or whatever. Joakim Noah was the true heart and soul of the Bulls and we haven’t had one since he left! With that said he’s my favorite player.

  29. Jo is just the best man. He just is. The fire and intensity he brought on the court was second to none. Complete team player, could guard any position…who wouldn't want Jo on their team? Injuries slowed him down but at his peak, he was Defensive Player Of The Year. Off the court, he's just a regular dude, walking around with a hoodie and joggers showing love to the people. How could you not love this guy?
