Joakim Noah retired from the NBA last week, so it was a great time to reignite the longstanding question: Why does everyone hate Joakim Noah?)<\/em><\/p>\n<div>Every time he went to the free throw line to attempt a foul shot he was booed voraciously.<\/div>\n<p>And it wasn\u2019t as if he was attempting a couple of game winners; the level of apparent hate stayed the same whether it was with just under ten minutes in the first quarter, or late in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>To be\u00a0<i>this<\/i>\u00a0hated in the same state where he was the anchor on a Florida Gators team that won back to back NCAA basketball championships is pretty remarkable.<\/p>\n<h2>But why? What did Joakim Noah do to any of them? Why is he so hated?<\/h2>\n<p>As a basketball player there really isn\u2019t a lot you can dislike.<\/p>\n<div>Unless you&#8217;re from Cleveland. I can understand why you hate Joakim Noah, then.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;You think Cleveland&#8217;s cool?\u201d Noah said. \u201cI&#8217;ve never heard anybody say, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to Cleveland on vacation. &#8216; What&#8217;s so good about Cleveland?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>I don&#8217;t know about this place man I just stayed in my hotel room. Every time I look out my window it&#8217;s pretty depressing out here. But yeah it&#8217;s bad. It&#8217;s bad so you don&#8217;t you&#8217;re not going out, no. No going out and Cleveland.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coming out of college Noah was thought of as more of a finesse type big man who really didn\u2019t have the skills necessary to be a starting center in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly on the defensive side where Noah had a tendency to play defense more like a four than a five.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But he was a winner if nothing else, so John Paxson, then the Bulls GM, selected him with the ninth overall pick in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Noah made enough of an impression in his rookie year to start in 31 games and actually surprised a lot of people with his production in just over 20 minutes a game.<\/p>\n<h2>In each of the three years since, Noah has increased his production in all meaningful categories &#8211; points, rebounds, steals, blocks and assists.<\/h2>\n<p>All of that production speaks to his work ethic because when it came to physical skills prior to the Draft a lot of GMs though he had maxed out his potential and had almost no upside.<\/p>\n<p>And physically just by looking at him you can see how much stronger he has gotten since he was drafted. \u00a0Not coincidentally, the Bulls as a team have developed along the same lines during the same time frame going from perennial .500 team to a favorite in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<p>His development was really summed up in one play versus the Boston Celtics in game six of the 2008 playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter with less than a minute left he stole the ball, dribbled the length of the floor and dunked on Paul Pierce while getting fouled. It was the type of \u201cenergy play\u201d that Noah is known to generate and sealed the game.<\/p>\n<div><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uMTcdlNu4bE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Noah would go on to have a stellar NBA career.

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about.
