- Our guest this week is none other than Chicago Bulls legend, Joakim Noah. This is about as meaty as a conversation gets with topics discussed from his childhood to prime Derek Rose and so much more. But first, JJ and Tommy talk about the early MVP race and how Giannis Antetokounmpo should be the favorite now. Then we immediately get to Joakim Noah. Topics include: Joakim's comments on Cleveland, Joakim's childhood and how he fell in love with basketball, how he landed at Florida and won two National Championships, why he returned to Florida after winning his first National Championship, his rookie season in Chicago where his team voted to suspend him, the nature of things leaking in a locker room like the Jordan Poole / Draymond Green situation, that classic 2009 playoff series between The Chicago Bulls and The Boston Celtics, what it was like playing with prime Derrick Rose, the hope Derrick to the city of Chicago, Joakim's recruitment of Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, his thoughts on his ruthless competitiveness today, his time on The New York Knicks, fighting with his head coach Jeff Hornacek, getting another chance with The Memphis Grizzlies, finally retiring from basketball, the work he's doing now with The BAL (Basketball Africa League), Obama's 50th Birthday party game with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James and so much more.

Thanks for watching, everyone. We really love this episode with Joakim and are thrilled to share it. Subscribe if you haven't and have a great weekend.
Amazing one - shout out guys ! I didn’t want him to win being a LeBron fan during the Miami Bulls games but would have love more of that 2011 series ! Only regret with him is him not being more committed to the French national team during those Parker / Diaw / Batum years - could have won a few more medals !
With love from France to you JJ and long live the podcasts !
You guys are doing amazing work! Much respect!
Get DRose for us!!!!!!!!
Hey JJ, you guys misspelled Derrick Rose's first name in the description. Love the show!
We love to see it
Foreal !!! 😊
PLEASE get Derrick Rose on a podcast
Check out Math Hoffa. D Rose was recently a guest. ruclips.net/video/O79geGhO9Ac/видео.html
for the culture we need it!
YES
he just came on a new york based podcast a week back
@@shinsegi8422 yeooo what’s the name of it?
Jo really is a Chicago legend, on and off the court. This man gave the city all he had. All while going through the D.Rose injuries.
He was a dawg. I wouldn’t say legend
@@kevhaha2005 Definitely a CHICAGO legend AND a dawg.. stop playing.
@@TheGlobalForce he’s not a legend 😂. Derrick rose, pippen, mj are legends. Noah is not a legend. People be using the word legend and goat way too frequently these days
Almost nobody played with more energy! That 2011 Bulls team was deep af too
@@kevhaha2005 he is my legend for sure!!!
Jo No showing a lot of self-awereness and introspection. Always very open and honest in his answers. People forget but before all the injuries, he finished 3rd in MVP voting one year. Crazy how fast things change, happy he is doing well now in retirement.
Very amazing awareness about his situation growing up and just not acting like a victim
I also remember him getting MVP chants. When he was asked about them he said "nah our MVP is D Rose"
4th behind Blake KD and LeBron
3rd in mvp voting dpoy and first team all nba first team all defense 13 ppg 14 rpg 5 apg was a better draymond
He was 4th in MVP behind Durant LeBron Blake Griffin but still great year.
In from 2011-2013 Noah was one of the best players in the league and almost won mvp. He was a huge impact player in his prime.
Would have 20 20 and 10 ast games
Injuries shortened his career but in his prime he was a top 1-3 defender in the league for sure
@@warwick802 he had heart too which is great for a big man to have in basketball almost all the big men w heart have rings
Imagine if thibs used he’s benchmob 5-10 mpg more. Noah deng rose all played way too much mintues
"Mind you, Ben Wallace is our captain, he has two HEADBANDS on his arms" Had me dead! 🤣🤣🤣
You can tell Joakim really loved Derrick. They were brothers. They were the heart and soul of the Chicago Bulls. It was exciting seeing them play together in that time.
I'm a basketball junkie but tennis was the 1st sport I ever learned, my dad loved the game. I remember watching *Yannick Noah in so many grand slams as a kid. If you have ever seen him compete, you will understand why Joakim played so passionately.
Yannick ;)
His dad was my favourite tennisplayer, and you are right passion is the keyword, brings back great memories! And ofc Yannick😉✌🏼
Yannick, the OG between the legs shot!
ihojpyuo9uy😊
I’m French and I don’t think people understand how famous Yannick was and still is, though like Joakim he is a private guys and doesn’t make many appearances in the media. Americans might recognize his dad (though rarely) and think “Oh that’s Joakim’s dad”. When I saw Joakim on the court I would think “That’s Yannick’s son!”.
I freaking LOVE Joakim Noah stories, his voice, his self awareness. Keep up the good work JJ and Tommy!
Exactly! I could listen to dude talk all day. He should be on some type of media platform regularly.
I am French. Joakim is humble. His father is not only a tennis legend in France who won Roland Garros. He is one of the most loved person in France and had a very successfull carreer as a pop singer too.
Yannick is an icon.
It's crazy cause I think most Americans don't know who his father is
@@BeeBee-pl9ly Yeah most NBA/Bulls fans who know and love Jo don't know his dad was a tennis superstar, and his mom was a swiss supermodel, fair to say Joakim got a lucky roll of the genetic lottery. Suprisingly I would have expected him to have had better shooting, ballhandling etc skills given how precise and Technical professional tennis players hand-eye coordination is to be. Nevertheless, he obviously was a great athlete and had huge competitive drive.
I rarely watch these videos right away because it’s so long. But I clicked immediately when I saw Joakim Noah. One of the greatest Chicago Bulls players. He was our Draymond Green, our KG, our Marcus Smart. Love ‘em.
Well put! He was the glue to the Bulls team. His energy and passion was so contagious.
This and the PJ interview are my favorite ones so far. Such real guys being open of their mistakes and what they've had to overcome in their careers.
Haven't seen this one yet, but the PJ and Tim Legler ones are by far the best ones so far
I think those two and the Butler one
Dipo one hit close to heart
Yeah lots of good ones tbh. Noah has just come such a long way as a player and person it was nice to see this side of him and hear his perspectives
Its good that he is honest enough to recognize his mistakes and say it in public.. many people won't do that bcoz of pride and ego! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel just might change someone's life!
Joakim Noah is such an enlightening person. He's had a wild journey. Glad to hear him tell these great stories
I really love that JJ just let's his guests just talk. Every episode I've watched he asks a question and then he just let's them go. It's so good to just hear them have such a meaningful conversation about ball or just their lives.
I legit think this is one of my favorite guest so far. Came in with no expectations other then knowing the career of Noah, I’m so happy I made the time to listen. Thanks everyone for getting this out there.
Joakim was awesome, shout-out to him for being so open, I'm a Knicks fan and I loved him when he played for us, dude always gave his best effort and was a huge emotional boost to the team, even though the team sucked lol
He was horrible with the Knicks. Lol Good dude though
One of the realest players to ever step on the court. Thanks for bringing joy to my city. Thanks for always being true to yourself and to everything. Love you Jo. You’re a Chicago Legend. #TheManInTheMiddle
Great selection for an interview. He’s a really smart player and a unique background. Happy for him
He's who Kyrie thinks he is
i appreciate these long form interviews. NBA is missing guys like this
Longtime viewer - first time comment.
I loved this ep. JJ has gotten much better as an interviewer, and having someone as open and self-aware as Noah made this special.
I second this
Exactly my thoughts
I agree.
Met Joakim in the Tampa International Airport while he was still at University of Florida. Super nice dude. Talked to my Dad and I at length before we boarded the plane. Was an awesome experience I'll never forget.
Noah is such a great story teller. This is probably my favorite episode so far. I could literally listen to Noah talk for 10 more hours, he's had such an interesting life.
Easily one of my favorite podcasts I’ve ever seen. Joakim is such a smart guy and has had such an interesting life. The things he’s experienced and his perspective on his experiences are so interesting and one of a kind. Fantastic stories and conversation from the beginning to the last minute. The amount of content just in the last 20 min or so was incredible. I could’ve watched another 2 hours.
That back2back Florida team in 06’ and 07’ was and still is one of the most underrated teams in college basketball history. Balanced on offense and defense. Excellent coaching. The back2back chips may never be done again in college basketball honestly. So hard to do.
Facts
Jo will always be on my list of favorite Bulls!
I love when he said being competitive off the court can have detriment in your life and how kind words from d wade gave him an epiphany in a dark time. Competition is a part of life but life isn't a competition.
This is one of my favorite episodes from you guys. The realness and emotion coming from this was great
This an absolute gem of an episode. Prob my favorite so far. Always loved Jo and hearing this side of him made me appreciate him even more. Excellent stuff as always
You can see through JJ eyes how much he respects Joakim, amazing discussion as always
This is by far my favorite interview you’ve done. Joakim is truly one of the most sincere players to have ever played this game. This guy absolutely loved his teammates and it showed every game he played.
Joakim Noah is a dope dude man. He should start a podcast or something. He’s a real gifted speaker. Not everybody has that
Jo one of the guys that ever since I was a kid, watching him compete against the best in a Bulls uniform, Imma always have love for this guy. One of the best competitors the game has seen at a point where the NBA was everything to me
Jo Noah will always be beloved in Chicago as one of our great sports figures and a favorite Bull.
Amazing podcast. Love Joakim Noah and the passion he played with during the late 00's-mid 10's. I love to hear how he poured his heart out on the court and stories about those great Chicago teams. Good to see Joakim's in a good place, seems the bad blood with D-Wade and LeBron even is gone with the wind. I'll never forget those Bulls/Miami battles on primetime.
I think they missed an opportunity to talk about one of Derrick's most impressive plays. When they talked about a play that just stood out to them, of course the Dragic dunk had to be mentioned. But what about his transition lay-up, splitting between Wade and LeBron, finishing with his left hand with both of them in their athletic primes contesting the lay? He even landed on his feet while I think Wade stumbled and LeBron walked off frustrated. THAT was an impressive play also.
This was sooo good. I listened to the whole thing start to finish and enjoyed every second.
What i remember the most about noah is the INSANE passion he played with , on the floor he never turned off his switch, he was always gonna play the hardest on the floor
Man, I'm really glad I've watched this one. Great story and really smart guy. You guys take the basketball podcast to another level talking about life and perspectives.
Guys, thank you so much for this episode with Joakim. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Had nothing but love for the guy and even more so now, knowing a bit more of his story. Awesome!
He did a long form interview with Zach Lowe on the Lowe Post a couple of years back. At one point I thought I was listening to the same episode again.
Thanks so much JJ for having one of my all time favorite people on. Joakim still, to this day, is a champion in our hearts here in Illinois.
Love joakim man, one of my fav bulls growing up and one of my favorites all time. Left it all out on the floor and those years in Chicago really felt like a brotherhood man. Wish it ended better in Chicago and his career overall at the end but always got love for Jo in whatever he does next
Joakim is a real one!!!!
I thought the Debo interview was my favorite, but this is number one on my list.
Best episode 🎉🎉🎉he’s real
JJ we need more of people like him it’s very inspiring ❤❤❤
Always appreciate the real-real ones..
Salute JJ/ TOMMY💪🏾💯
Joakim a real one. Underrated
One of the greatest inteviews on the pod. Loved it. It's so much better when a player is more insightfull
Love Joakim’s perspective. He seems to be at peace and come to a wisdom through the years.
So much respect to JJ. He does real homework before every interview and comes prepared. High high quality content and excellent interviewer.
I really enjoyed this episode. Jo comes across as a thoughtful & intelligent guy.
I think Jo & Derrick complimented each other’s personalities on that bulls era. Derrick was less vocal at that point in his career but was an absolute killer on the court. Jo was brought the vocal leadership to the team & also led by example with his hustle & energy on the court.
Good to see Jo is doing some cool things now after his playing career.
Much love to Joakim Noah! One of my favorite bulls of all time! 🐂
Jo's impact here in chicago is unmatched. we love him!
Jumped right into that Celtics series without talking about drafting Rose. But seriously great guest - I’m a huge bulls fan and hearing him talk about Derrick is the best. Celtics wasn’t the only series Jo we remember your game 7 performance against the nets. Love this man
My guy Joakim!! Wish I could personally thank this man for the role he played in my favorite Bulls era. Have to add I’m listening to this playing 2k11 going to the finals against the Lakers. Miss that group! Lot of good memories as a young basketball/Bulls fan that shaped my view on what good basketball is. Jo is that man!
Over the years I've built up some killer Bulls teams in 2K franchise modes to make up for what could have been with Rose/Jo/Deng/Jimmy and Thibs. Even after Roses injury I think the Bulls could have done something building around Jimmy, had they kept Thibs and gotten rid of GarPax instead... Derrick could have even been a part of it if he had learned to accept a reduced role and continued to work on his game like he did on the Twolves with Thibs, he had a couple of 18PPG seasons on the Wolves, Pistons and Knicks. Jimmy has proven he can take a team deep in the playoffs with only a B- 2nd guy in Bam, with D.Rose running the next gen bench mob and if Jimmy & Thibs could convince a true 2nd star that would have been a far better path then the 2017-2023 Bulls went down. Maybe if Jimmy was still in Chicago the Bulls could land a PG13, Kyrie, etc just to name some guys who have moved multiple times since Thibs got fired and Jimmy got traded.
@@timtresch4848 I’ll forever be grateful for 2k for giving me a place to make up for GARPAX but amen brother. I’d love to live in that alternate universe lol we’d still be living in a golden era of bulls
Basketball
One of the best interviews ever! Have him back when the doc is out
Absolutely loving from Chicago, where Joakim is still much loved...
I always enjoy these interviews!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Much respect
what a conversation. love you joakim!
The quality of the videos from the new studio is impeccable, OM3 levels up for us every season 🔥🔥
One of my favorite Bulls of all time. Chicago loves this guy!!!
Best interview JJ has done so far, which is saying a lot
I loved every moment of this interview! So much love for you Noah! You’ll always be a legend here in Chicago bro! I’ll love to smoke a joint and listen to his stories dude is funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My personal favorite interview of yours. Of course, I'm biased of anything that's Chicago Bulls. Also worth mentioning, though it wasn't mentioned in the pod: Joakim did ALOT for the city of Chicago. His foundation Rock Your Drop brought crucial funds and awareness to stop the rampant gun violence in the city. Big heart to the big man. Would love to see D-Rose on the pod soon.
amazing episode, my favorite one yet !
One of the best interviews so far!
Didn't expect this to be a great episode but the insights and topics are top notch.
Told ya last vid. Podcast? Interviewing peers?
It's therapy. For everyone involved. And it's fucken beautiful.
Always loved that brother Noah 👏🏽💪🏽😂 He brought 💯 energy each game
So much gems in this podcast, overall this podcast made me remember why I love basketball
Noah was awesome man he was the heart and soul of the early 2010’s bulls
Chicagoan basketball player here who played center as a freshman in high school during Joakim’s all star and DPOY years - he is my all time favorite. Means so much to bulls fandom
Peace... I'ma Duke fan, a Chicago Bulls fan,.... This is a super Legendary interview...Noah a Legend 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
We will always love you in Chicago Joakim. Absolute legend out here!
Wow... loved this episode. Joakim is a sublime human being.
one of the best episodes yet. joakim noah is that dude
Joakim is so savage. So insightful. Love this dude, such an epic story.
Love u guys. Thank you for such fact checked and authentic content
Man Joakim is such a real and raw dude. His storytelling ability is amazing. I usually only watch Raptor (and former Raptor) player episodes but I'd recommend this one over most of them.
that two time champion Gator team doesn't get enough credit. I don't think there are many teams in the history of college basketball that could take them, they were as tough as anyone ever, the beat everyone in two tournaments by 10+ points.... & for 3 of them to give up being lottery picks, to comeback another year, and to win it again? Incredible.
Might be my favorite interview and i dont even know much about joakim this dude has so many good stories he should have a podcast at some point
This is probably one of my favorite ones
Chicago guy. Watched him play so many times in Florida and I was ecstatic when my Bulls drafted him. Dude was legit. Couple injuries really stole an all-time player. Still a top player. But, shoulda been an all-time. Fan favorite back then and still.
Jo's always been my fav player being a bulls fan we've always appreciated his energy especially when rose went down especially back when we had Deng as well
I was at that Bulls Celtics crazy OT Game. It was absolutely one of the best experiences of me and my high school buddies at the times life. And we were standing behind the seats on the 3rd level
Me and my buddies went to that game as well. High school seniors at the time. When noah dunked on pierce the UC exploded.
@@khalidelamin4798 yep, im thirty. i honestly cant remember if I was a Junior or senior. Bt it was an amazing experience. Ray Allen had the quieted 50 i'd ever seen
Yeah man it was an epic game. Best bulls home game since mj days
Amazing interview, keep it up guys
This podcast never disappoints! Always 🔥🔥🔥 I always liked Joakim but have a newfound respect for him 🫡👍👍🙏
I havent watched your Podcast much. You are great host. Didn't expect that. Thanks
This is for sure my favorite episode
I like him even more now. Wish more guys played like him.
best podcast of this show's history, perhaps best hoops podcast across all of social media -- awesome episode!
Lot of good lessons to learn. Great episode and guest
I'll never forget seeing Joakim at a Shell gas station in Fort Lauderdale, FL, buying some things. I pull in, and there's this giant tour bus, and I think "who the hell is this?" It's Noah, I think Corey Brewer and one other cat. He was tall and the space was cramped. At the height of the Heat-Bulls rivalry too. Gave me the nod, and we kept it moving.
Without a doubt most interesting pod you’ve released in a while
Great Podcast! Shoot out to Joakim for being open
Mannnnnn this chat was crazy. Got hella respect for Joakim.
Appreciate your team in Chicago Noah..!!!
Great podcast! Joakim proved to be a really engaging guest
LET’S GOOOO! Been waiting for this.
This is a top 5 episode of the show. Jo was a fantastic guest
One of the best episodes
What a colorful character he is. Great interview, watched the whole thing!
