Joakim Noah ballin out insane.


With last night's dominant performance against the Indiana Pacers (51-20), Joakim Noah has pushed his way into league MVP consideration.  The Bulls (40-31), knocked off Indiana 89-77 in a dominant defensive performance last night at the United Center. 

Noah put on a performance last night indicative of what the Chicago Bulls are all about.  With Derek Rose suffering yet another year ending knee injury, Noah has stepped up to fill in the void.  The blue collar big man stuffed the stat sheet with 10 points, eight rebounds, four steals, eight assist and three blocks.  In 35 minutes of action Noah shot 50% from the field.  Joakim Noah is one of the few players in the NBA that can affect every aspect of a basketball game.

Kevin Durant in all likelihood will win his first MVP award this spring.  With Russell Westbrook's reoccurring knee injuries, Durant has been forced to burden the scoring load all season.  Noah is light-years behind Durant in terms of production.  But it doesn't hurt to see a garbage man at heart get some consideration for the leagues most prestigious regular season award.
