Sick to death of Noah's mug - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

What the hell is it with the press and Joakim Noah? Some photographers and editors have a serious man-crush on him. He's not even the best player on his team. He had a terrible game tonight. But he is ALWAYS the showcase when Florida wins, on every web site, newspaper story, etc. Is it the exotic rastafarian hairdo? The fangs? That he's the son of a former Tennis great? That he's french? I won't miss him.

It's his Dad. If he wasn't Yannick's son, he'd be just another basketball player for Florida.

That and he was the Final Four MVP last year.

I could not agree more with SU on this.

Noah looks like the second coming of Christian Laetner. Very effective in college, will do next to nothing in the pros. Should be a good pick up for the Jazz in the draft.

Personally, I think he is going to be a better version of Andrei Kirilenko...

He plays good D and can score

I open up the New York Times and there he is on the front page, cutting down the nets. For Chrissakes.

I hate Joakim, honestly if i saw him the in the streets i would challenge him to a fight. I cant stand the guy.

The best future pro on that team imo is going to be Brewer, followed by Horford, then Noah, then Green.

I think all 4 of them play in the NBA though.

I would compare Brewere to Boris Diaw
Horford to David West
Noah to Anderson Varejao/Eduardo Najera
Green to Luther Head/Charlie Bell
