The Bulls will honor and celebrate Joakim Noah at the United Center against the New York Knicks on Thursday night.
Oh, what a time it was.
Oh, what a team it was.
It was the Bulls in what we most remember as the Derrick Rose era, the best in franchise history without a championship. The Bulls in consecutive seasons led the NBA in wins with the youngest Most Valuable Player in league history in Rose, the Coach of the Year in Tom Thibodeau, Jimmy Butler eventually becoming Most Improved Player, Luol Deng a multiple All-Star and Joakim Noah, the Defensive Player of the Year, All-Star and first team all-NBA center.
