Joakim Noah On His Teammates Voting To Suspend Him Because Of His Behavior 

The D Rose and Joakim Noah days were so good it almost hurts to watch these and hear Noah talk about it. It was such a special time the special players with only injury halting their success

“Meanwhile Ben Wallace has two headbands around his ARMS” 😂

Ben Wallace with 2 headbands on his arms is hilarious 😂

I remember running into Noah in NYC tryna get into a club. I was the only person who recognized himwalking by, he saw me see him and just put a finger to his mouth to signal not to say anything 😂 I just nodded and acknowledged him with a thumbs up haha. He was playing for the Knicks at the time. I was surprised no one noticed a man that tall but he had a Hoodie on so I guess people just assumed he was a random giant man 😂 Glad to see he's doing well

Chicago loves you Joakim. You played your heart out for us.

Would love to have Russ on the podcast. Hope to see him talk comfortably about his side of stories.

Joakim Noah talking about Cleveland will always be the greatest interview in basketball history.

Kirk Hinrich would be an interesting listen. Gone through so many bulls rosters, ‘03 draft class, Ben Gordon, losing his spot to DRose, ‘09 playoffs, fights with rondo, leaving and returning to the bulls and still not getting over the hump.. I don’t know lol sounds like it would be interesting

In a league of superhumans. Ben Wallace nickname are “Big Ben” and “Body”

Always loved Noah. All heart and ahead of his time

Joakim was a great Basketball player. When I was young I saw his father on a practice court in Miami. Yannick Noah was probably one of the best athletes I saw in person. The way he ran and jumped was amazing. Looked like he was flying on the tennis court.

Somebody's gotta keep Noah on a mic somewhere, this man is golden

"Ben Wallace is our captain he had two headbands on his arms". LMAO

Who remembers that steal and dunk against the celtics?? And Pierce fouled out too. Hell of a game winning play.

Never liked Noah much but he was a hell of a player. His interview, I am fan now. Dude's so calm and composed, so thoughtful. More power to you man! :)

Hey JJ, can you have Scottie Barnes on the podcast? Dude is full of energy and it would be dope to hear his rookie year stories

The “did he stutter” sent me 💀😂 4:31

Joakim: I like hearing people at their lowest moments JJ: Cool, lets talk about the 2012 playoffs…

Agree with Scottie Barnes guy, would also be interesting to hear Jokic on the show, he’s a two time MVP that we barely know anything about!

we miss you Joakim in Chicago. I wish all the players plated with your passion and intensity

Really well said by Noah: "imagine you at your lowest moment"

"he has two headbands on his arm" loll

This podcast is so authentic no bias is ever pushed on this show and it only shows just the truth of how things happen. That’s why I love it. The players all feel comfortable enough to tell us some things we’ll never get to know about a lot of these guys.

That’s why I’ll always respect dez Bryant for what he did in with his rookie hazing. He just refused it and didn’t care

Joakim Noah was always one of my favorites. SO glad to see him around still.

JJ just causally droping that a dude tried to rkelly him for being late😂😅

His honesty and candidness has always been refreshing... He deserved the treatment he got and his career took off afterwards. Btw those Florida teams were great!

Great interview, keep up the good work JJ

JJ you should try to get Greg Oden on the podcast. Would be his interesting to hear his story.

I was never a fan of watching him play but he is an extremely good story teller, very easy to listen to him talk for a long time.

He said he turned on the TV and Joe Rogan was talking about him? He had to have misspoke there

Man I miss Noah on the Bulls! He seems like a truly genuine dude.

Joakim look like a Vietnam vet out here

Jo was a force of nature when he carried the Bulls when Rose was hurt. Was in the MVP race but deflected it all with a firm stance that Rose is their MVP.

This is a great interview. Well done!

Was delivering furniture in Chicago years ago and met Noah in an elevator he was such a cool humble dude

“He had two head bands around his arms” and Joe Smith “Did he stuttered”

amazing story, super fun to listen to these podcasts while doing college homework. Keep it up JJ!

I'm glad rookies now don't be allowing that hazing stuff to go on because some of these stories be wild ain't no way I'm getting up at 4am to anything for another man who's not my father/brothers.

Joakim Noah looks like he's ready to go double Devin Booker in open gym lmao 🤣😂🤣

More Noah interviews. Bring in Luol and Taj and Kirk too

Noah's been one of my favorite players since his college days. He was a competitor and played hard.

I used to hate this dude at Fkorida. Then I watched how hard he played in Chicago and started liking him. Then he stood up to Lebron and I started loving this dude.

This was one of the most real, raw stories ever on the podcast. I loved it!!

These guys are best from their town, high school, college. Get drafted and then still have to scrap for playing time. Crazy how good these players have to be. Have to be Ben Wallace mentally also...

The way that joakim talks is chill I like that vibe

Two of my favorite players Ben Wallace and Joakim Noah.

Him stating Joe Rogan was on TV talking about the NBA is the funniest part of this pod.

Ben freaking Wallace was a complete BEAST HANDS DOWN ! LOL

Joakim had the 90s mindset joining the league. Respect for the past but willing to take on anyone. Showed love to kg but kg did kg and Joakim fought back. I bet he was a teammate you would want in your corner

first time seeing the podcast. Enjoyed quite a bit. Noah was always an Enigma for me as a fan. He got on my nerves and this and that and then all the sudden I realized something. He is the WORM. He is MWP. That dude you hate and call a hack when you play against him but love to have him on your team.

Joe Smith tho 😂😂😂😂 on some Charlie Murphy ish! 😂😂😂

Y’all are deadass the only podcast I listen to and stay up to date with. Keep it up JJ

Jooks always been my fave!! True grit!! A lot of heart in and out of the court!

Jo needs to have his own podcast. At the very least he should guest or co host with Jj in a few episodes 💯

Man growing up in Chicago I’m glad I got to experience this guy character first hand 🤚🏿

Exactly. It's a growing problem, and I'm not sure there's a term that encapsulates this for our time but I'm sure we'll examine and define it soon.

Respect to you Mr. Noah from one of your fans.

I remember this whole episode cuz I used to post religiously on sports message boards at the time, the narrative that was developing was that he was immature, a bust in the making, waste of a draft pick etc. My argument in his defense back then was that he was limited offensively but his presence in the lineup had a noticeable impact on the game, safe to say that was a minority opinion. Obviously he went on to prove himself, he was a huge part of those Rose-era Bulls teams - Bulls fans love the guy.

he said ben wallace so big he wears two headbands on his arms lmfaooo

This is awesome! JJ, can you try to interview Jeremy Sochan? The dude seems very interesting.

Great interview

As a Heat fan that Bulls team with MVP Rose was special. Sometimes I wish we got to see them in the Finals in ‘11 instead of that stinker we had against the Mav’s. Hated them but respected them too.

Derrick Rose and Noah deserved a ring.. Those young bulls let it on the line every game. I misse them playing together 😭

Yo I’m embarrassed bro I slept on JJ podcast all this time I had go back and watch the old episodes yo shoutout JJ bro y’all be bringing the real classic hoopers bro I’ll never forget when Noah dissed Cleveland bro I’m from Chicago that was the dopest diss ever

Joakim is a character, always enjoyable to hear what he has to say. He is also that very rare player who was actually better in the pros than he was in college. Don't see that very often.

"Ben Wallace is our captain and hes got two headbands on his arms"

JJ Reddick you're the best at like everything you do bro. Continued success to you

"Did he stutter" 😂🤣😂🤣 Im dead

He adds an element to the Podcast, he needs to be a regular.

Hey JJ ,can you get Glen "Big Baby" Davis on the show please would be a brilliant episode .thanks ,much respect from Scotland

Noah is the heart of Chicago basketball. Miss that man

i know he was already recently on club shay with sharpe but you got to get D Howard talk about ol Magic days

Great show !

Players always talking about corruption and getting it out of the league... "But hey rook, bring me that donut or I won't pass you the ball, suspend you and get you out of the league" 🤦

Funny that he mentions Ben Gordon. Perfect timing.

Back when it happened, I was pissed.. now, I can understand that elder wisdom for team stability.

hey yall should get t-mac on the podcast man! mans a legend

Before draymond green there was Joakim Noah.

I remember about 12 years ago there was an interview with Noah talking about education and academia. He said while at Florida the better he played the more he skipped classes. Like it was ok as long as you play well. I guess if he wasn’t very good on the court he would’ve gone to all his classes, hell it was so bizarre.

I love this podcast man

the long pause after "they tried to pee on me" was acadamy award winning

Man Chicago really missed one with that team 😢

Wow! As a Cavs fan, I never thought Noah could say anything I'd like. But, I'm actually starting to like him. Good interview.

😅😅😅😅 yo this story had me rollin “he had two headbands on his arms” hahahaha

JJ would love to see you interview Kirk Hinrich

Noah was a beast !

i can see why KG hated Noah

His Rogan impression was my highlight 😂😂😂

LOL love this story. I came back to this so many times already

We gotta get the Jaylen Brown episode

This dude won so much money for me in NBA 2k lol. I used to block and get so many rebounds with him. 10 bucks a game and I’d win like 6 to 10 games a day. Good times lol

Really great clip

Joakim was my favorite player for years!! always has good stories 💯

He was a 2 time all star and dpoy the year. Give him his flowers. People never gave him his respect

Ben Wallace being known as "Body" is new info to me. Adds to his legacy.

"tryna debo me" 🤣🤣🤣

Great story, really funny and thoughtful guy. Always loved his game and those Bulls teams.

Joakim is an interesting man. Great soul!

Joakims shot was hard to watch. A professional basketball player whose shot spun sideways. Only shot harder to watch was Bill Cartwright's. Other than that Joakim was a better NBA player than I thought he'd be
