His extraordinary athleticism going underutilized and made him a Jay Williams like bust.įiring Scott Skiles on Christmas Eve 2007 was not only Dickensian, but also the worst thing to happen to this team defensively. Thomas, a fellow top ten overall selection, has also been all sizzle and very little steak. Noah passes himself off like someone you’d find at a dollar store or Greyhound Bus Station even though his life has mostly been country clubs and black-tie galas. If Noah’s lack of discipline and offensive skills doesn’t repulse you, perhaps his disjointed public persona will. I screamed at the television on NBA Draft night 2007 when Noah donned a Bulls cap to complement his suit that only a Dean of Clown College would wear. Big Ben’s disappointing play and general surliness led to him being dealt in a garbage-for-more-expensive garbage trade with Cleveland…and the Bulls current status as WAY over quota on “combo†guards who really can’t play either guard position very well. What did (hopefully soon-to-be-ex) GM John Paxson do when he had a desperate need for low-post scoring? He gave 4 years and $64 million to a big with absolutely no offensive skills. With homage to the Talking Heads “And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here?†The venue that once housed the world’s most marketable (and arguably greatest) athlete now hosts a laughing-stock of a team. Global tourists flock to the United Center’s Michael Jordan statue.
