GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Joakim Noah spoke like a New Yorker and about being from New York, and how the Knicks’ teams of the 1990s shaped him into the player he is.
“This has been a dream of mine since I’m five years old,” Noah said Friday as the Knicks introduced him, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings at an afternoon news conference.
The Knicks made Noah their No. 1 target in free agency and brought him home officially Friday as he signed a four-year $72 million deal.
Noah is a throwback type of player, not interested in the spotlight or scoring.
