Joakim Noah was one of those guys that teams hated but they all wanted him on their team. This was great to see these Gator greats together. GO GATORS! 🔥🔥🐊🐊🐊

[@TheOGsShow]

🐊🐊🐊

[@Bigbabyafool7109]

Right!!! A true point center that plays defense at a high level

[@jamminj9554]

Born in Chicago, witnessed the 6 Chips, seen MJ play, but those Baby Bulls teams were just as embraced by the city as those 90s teams. Joakim/Lu/BG/Kirk/Jimmy/DRose and the bench mobs, thank you for those years!

[@stakkbundlez2018]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫡🫡🫡🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@dee__194]

As a 29 year old man now I can say that Joakim has always been authentic. I never got the chance to meet him, but hearing both of my grandmothers talk about how genuine he was when he took pictures with them and autographed my posters for me meant everything. Jo is a real one. UD & Mike are real ones as well. My grandaddy took me to all the gator games to watch UD and Mike play.

[@smithsfan425]

Sitting side by side with the enemy haha. Need to get KG, PP, PG, D Rose, Hibbert, Lance Stephenson, etc. on there too.

[@xchxmpagnepxpix]

Nah OG said its up anytime he see Truth or KG 😂😂 he do not fw dem boys

[@Idkbruh5]

😂😂😂

[@yamommalikemeh]

@@xchxmpagnepxpixexactly this aint a podcast that episode..its a exhibition🤣

[@livelikedom]

It was never personal with them. Just how the nba use to be and should be - no friends on the court. It’s personal with kg and Paul idk if they would get thru a podcast without trading blows

[@livelikedom]

Paul said UD jersey retirement was given and not earned 😂 it’s personal

[@tiemann55]

As a bulls fan my whole life , Joakim Noah was one of my favorite players. He could score 0 points and would still have a massive impact in the game . The anchor of those early 2010s bulls teams . Was also a surprisingly good free throw shooter . And an amazing passer .

[@droheadd]

Absolutely.. Underrated

[@quinnjackson731]

I'll always cherish those times. That one fateful night in 2012 against the 76ers ended it all 😢. With Jimmy Butler becoming the player he is, they might've been able to get past Miami one of those years.

[@agarriga99]

Mike nervous laughing is killing me 😆 these two too intense for our guy Mike 😆

[@branleyprevil3110]

Mike trippen for laughing when Noah was expressing his self 😂

[@Jnino0007]

Right bro mad annoying like damn let the man speak

[@AMart870]

Man those UF Gator teams with Joakim, Al Horford and Corey Brewer were some Dawgs, Joakim always bought the energy, always hustling and playing defense, back to back NCAA Champions 06-07!

[@hectorramos2490]

Yeah they would've wiped the floor with UConn, that question was disrespectful. Lol

[@EagerTablet-zw2ej]

😊

[@ivanvillarruz8412]

I remember the championship game against Ohio State. Joakim and Al took turns against Greg Oden who was a beast in that game. Glad those 2 came back for a 2nd chip.

[@twizzy585ful]

Miller giggles at literally anything

[@BroccoliHead7]

He’s on something

[@davidblack1639]

We need Chris Bosh on the podcast

[@Sanders662]

Definitely 🤝🏾

[@Mmmkay..]

Joakim Noah a real Bulls legend 💯 those boys were nasty running the East just couldn’t get past Miami.

[@DiorShiesty]

Joakim Noah was your Draymond Green, super underrated 💪

[@williedoyle8331]

You right he needs to get more credit

[@DiorShiesty]

Him & Boozer were tough as nails, DRose meshed w them so well it reminds me of Curry Klay and Dray

[@blizz1004]

Green as shoot a little..the only difference lol

[@CovertGhoul]

Yo, that elbow action that GSW runs might be from Ron Adams (Thibs former assistant)

[@KingSalaman]

Noah didnt injure people to win lol

[@travismarshall5259]

Man I could listen to Noah talk all day. Such a great conversationalist

[@vittiriowashington5211]

Come to the think about it, Noah would've been a fit with the Heat.

[@Swerving_Inna_Yoda]

Fax aint never thought bout playin wit em cause always going against em but would’ve fit right in Heat culture 🔥

[@twizzy585ful]

Facts

[@bryanhartline1696]

If we had him win now we would win the finals

[@howardmighty6764]

Everyone was a fit with the Heat. They had LeBron & Wade..😂😂😂

[@michaelmelendez2652]

@@howardmighty6764Noah plays defense you smart aaa, and he got boards. He would have been a great fit, Heat culture is about defense.😢

[@chill1224.]

As a Heat fan I always liked Noah

[@doesnotexist305]

Always?? Couldn’t stand the sight of him back in the day. Big fan of his now

[@jacobknight4669]

Noah is a good human being. Him talking about bringing people together no matter what side you’re on or what you look like is inspirational. I wish everyone had that mindset. ❤

[@ThrowDaLobHun23]

man noah is such a legend. College back to back, brought tenacity and passion!

O6-07 Florida was the best college team I've seen they had Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Mareese Speights, etc. also have to mention the sniper Lee Humphrey. Then after they won the chip they all came back when at least 2 or 3 of them could have been lottery picks and won another one rather easily.

[@davidcalixte9785]

That was a squad

[@vittiriowashington5211]

I'm 42 , from Ga, and UF Ben my favorite squad since Mike and UD, Brent Wright, and Teddy Dupay, he had all the Florida HS records at the time... #GatorNation

[@twizzy585ful]

Dupay was a beast ‼️💯

[@ill-nois2282]

The Bulls/Heat rivalries in the 2010’s were some great ball games. Dawgz on both sides of the court, ultra competitive

[@bryanhartline1696]

Back during the big 3 the only team in the East I was worried about was Chicago. They were tough af before D Rose got hurt

[@fvdeawayj]

MIke Miller just laughing when Joakim being serious and letting his emotions out smh

[@JGx413]

Facts. He smiling & laughing the whole time while Jo talking about real shit and emotions..

[@nickelbus7596]

Jus started da interview. Dat Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, and Luol Deng trio was deadly 😮 💪🏾

[@rell660]

In the years 2011 - 2013 if you would've told me in the future Haslem and Noah would be sitting together on a podcast dapping each other up... I would say hell naw that's impossible. The only thing that would be crazier is having KG, Rondo and/or Piece here.

[@mikrokos13]

Keith saying we were gonna sweep the Heat is craazyyy lmaoooo

[@andrewnantz9585]

Gators gatorsgators, the og's on fire, Noah, the goat of the gators. Let's fucking go

I love these guys so much! Dropping gems and inspiration left and right...that's how my Gator boys roll ⚓ 🐊 😂 ❤💎, M.

Damn this pod keeps getting better and better

[@dAtVAkidd94]

i hated him as a competitor, but loved him as well! I remember goin to a bulls game and his passion for the game is what made me grow as a fan

[@investorbettor505]

I am a lifelong Heat fan and UF grad so obviously Udonis is one of my favorite players to the point where I have a poster of him dunking on my wall. Prophetically, Joakim is in the background of the poster!

[@cebupropertiesinc]

Hearing Joakim now shed some light and changed my perspective about him. He was a villain for me through and through but now all I have is respect. Nicely done

[@mauricekiner1835]

🎉 Noah was one of my favorite college players of all time, and I'm old, graduated in 92.

Amazing 90s throwback intro!!!

I wanted Noah on the Heat since he was drafted. That man is a worrier…

[@LeoDunsonMinistries]

Them Heat series is still keeping him up at night. Mike had me dying 😂😂

[@user-hk3hl2kz4z]

I loved how he always passed, played defense and fought for his team. I miss many colorful personalities we do not see in the NBA, Joakim Noah certainly one of them.

[@L4-295]

20:13 the actual quote is ‘there’s winning and there’s misery. There’s no in between.’ Read his book and you’ll know. The book came out before haslem was even at Florida. FYI

[@Chops_4114]

When i became a Noah fan was my time in the USMC buddy always picked chi. I always picked Dallas. Man we had some good games 2k 11

[@joeballi6003]

Tha ogs got the best podcast hands down

[@musclemachine8849]

Man I still miss those days of Heat vs Bulls. I’m a huge Lebron fan and D rose was my favorite point guard, I didn’t care who would win cause it was so hard to tell you pick between your two favorite players and teams

[@dmac2077]

One of my favorite soundbites ever 😂😂😂🤣

[@musicbyronic]

I used to hate this man with a passion because of the bulls. Seeing the respect between him and OG changed my mind, he’s just a competitor 💯🔥

[@nadv3054]

Love UD’s shirt ❤

[@fmsstudio6316]

I love what hes doing. You have to get KG and Paul on here. The world needs it.

[@JuanVasquez-pl4tj]

Joakim was exercising some demons. But I love how he keeps it real. The type of energy he brings, passion and competitiveness is what every young athlete needs to idolize. When you guys talk about playing for a teammate vs playing for a brother hit home for me. When your team becomes your family, you'll run through a wall for them. A different level of competition comes out.

[@Tresimon00]

Great interview love it 🐊 shout out Teddy Dupay love it that’s my man

[@recrevs963]

Good player on his day but like he said himself : "He was too lit" in NYC. These two fellas Udonis and Mike are awesome hosts!

[@TheKos2Kos]

Small regret is going to university of miami over florida from 04 to 08. Thing is miami was in the championship football game my junior year of high school in miami. I had similar financial aid packages so I went to the U instead since it was historically better and recently better. Boy, i missed out on quite a few gator championships from 04 to 08

[@him37404]

This pretty lame since u still got an education and u weren’t on the basketball team either way …

[@andyyau690]

Love this podcast! Huge Heat fan from Scotland. I am a sound engineer and I think if you guys invest in a good condenser microphone to hang above you and your guests, you could capture all the audio when you guys face away from your microphones. it would capture all the laughter and reactions amazingly. especially in such an echoey room. Please give me a shoutout for the idea. Heat in 6!

I was at UCLA when Joe and those boys destroyed us in back 2 back tournaments. This man haunted my basketball dreams. One of the best defensive players I've ever seen live. Seriously he was an animal. His IQ isn't talked about enough

[@Chops_4114]

The respect captain kurk has been getting. Dwade mentioned him too.

[@ReggieDII]

Mike Miller truly was a cold-one, the best example I could give is Josh Allen and the Bills was equivalent to Mike Miller and the Grizzlies, he had the talent to lead and win a chip with a great cast, so when he got traded to Miami he was a steal for Shaq and D Wade.

[@COWBOYZFANable]

Haslem you’re wrong, Battier wasn’t on the 2010-2011 team that faced the bulls.
