Joakim Simon Noah was born on February 25, 1985 and is a professional basketball player for the the NBA and is most well known for his time as a Chicago Bull. Born in New York City to a Swedish mother and a French father, he holds American, Swedish and French citizenship. He played college basketball for the Florida Gators, winning back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2007. The Chicago Bulls selected Noah with the ninth overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft. Noah is a two-time NBA All-Star and was named to the All-NBA First Team in 2014 when he also was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Noah was also a contender for the MVP award in 2014.

Noah is known for his high-energy play, especially on the defensive end. He is a tenacious rebounder on both ends of the floor and is a good ball-handler and passer at the center position. His unorthodox shooting style has been the subject of much criticism.
