Joakim Noah keeps on talking....

We generally like athletes who don't sugarcoat things or stay politically correct and just kind of say what is on their minds. Not only is that rare, most of the mainstream media are aghast when it actually happens. They look up and start running around the room in circles with their arms raised going "AHHHHH!". Mostly because it never happens.

We've also, til now, never been much of a fan of Joakim Noah. He talks...a lot...about whatever is on his mind. We didn't care for him when he was at Florida or when he began his NBA career in Chicago. But...we are changing our opinion, mostly because again...he says whatever he's thinking.

He recently opined about Kevin Garnett of the Celtics when he got suspended, calling him a "Dirty Player". Maybe it is true, maybe it isn't...but nobody seemed to run to Garnett's defense their either.

Noah's latest stream of consciousness, railing on the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bulls opponent in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. He steadfastly refused to acknowledge that LeBron James is pretty much beating the Bulls by himself, saying "Yeah, its tough, but we have to play them again and I just don't want to give LeBron all this credit". Hmmm....

Check out what he had to say about the city of Cleveland after Game 2 of the series, it's funny, and if you've ever been to Cleveland...somewhat true.
