Capable of everything on an NBA court, Joakim Noah did not, however, position himself as a unique case within the league. One of his former teammates, who is still one of the best players on the circuit, would resemble him in this respect according to him.
In basketball, as in any sport, unpredictability can be good. It actually seems more difficult for a player to defend an opponent who is likely to catch him off guard with an unexpected gesture or move. Joakim Noah, for example, owes part of his success in the NBA to this unpredictable side that he displayed very regularly on the court… but not only that.
An instinctive player, the former French interior player also often tended to follow him outside without thinking about the consequences. This notably led him to pay an impromptu visit to a certain Phil Jackson. However, it must be believed that he was not the only former member of the Bulls to present such a colorful personality. In any case, this is the thesis he has defended recently.

Jimmy is one of the most competitive players in the league. Afterwards, there are also players who are missing a square. Is it missing a box? Yes. Am I missing a box? Yes. But it also works with Pat Riley. Pat Riley is not a normal guy. No way. Is Tibs (Tom Thibodeau) a normal guy? Does Billy Donovan go to church? No, no and no.
If he seems to be cultivating his difference compared to the other stars of the league for several years, Butler would not be the only fanatic of his kind in the industry. Its disconcerting appearance would in any case be nothing surprising. given his tumultuous childhood according to Jooks. Seeing him ride a horse in the middle of the street in Miami as part of an advertisement would therefore be logical after all.

For Joakim Noah, there is no doubt that Jimmy Butler’s brain is dysfunctional, just like that of many NBA players and personalities. Buckets has simply managed to make it one of its main distinctive signs.
