Chicago Bulls: Joakim Noah
The man has heart. He brings the intensity every night, and he’s the voice of the team when Rose is out. People say “numbers don’t lie” but in this case, it does.

What got me is that he was on the All-NBA first team last season. At best he should’ve been on the third team, because Al Jefferson was unstoppable last season.
