SALTY DOG

NBA ROLE: VETERAN PIVOT

 

It’s rare to see someone play w/ the raw passion Joakim Noah has etched into every fiber of his basketball being; unique, all-around pivot in his prime: did whatever necessary to win, excellent leader and team player w/ a never-ending motor of infectious energy; skilled screen setter, great passer out of the high post – finds cutters from the elbow, opens himself up to create shots after slipping screens; rebounded* and defended at elite levels before multiple injuries; never really a scorer (has a couple lefty hooks), did work by elbow playmaking, giving guards room to work & staying active around the rim; though it’s reiterated every time he’s on National TV, Joakim has a sidewinder J nicknamed the Tornado; landed w/ Clippers – adds energy & experience

 

*taking a page out of Ben Wallace’s book, Noah’s mastered the art of tapping loose balls out to teammates – creating extra possessions & "padding" the rebounding stats without having to fully secure the rock
