I still hate Noah when he plays us but I've got to admit that he has impressed me this season. Not only does he play very well and is a monster on the boards (when you watch him you see that he has a real feeling, he knows by instinct where the ball is going to rebound), but he had the guts to step up and tell LeBron he was arrogant and disrespectful.
Plus, we hear a lot about Noah here in France, but I have to admit that this time he is worth the praise.
Yeh, the LeBron thing was quite cool.
The energy he brings is so 'pure', I like how he's genuinely bummed when a shot rims out, when someone gets past him on D, etc. You can just see him go "DAYMN" and he'll do that thing with crossing his arms, fists clenched while looking down. (Did I describe that properly?

)
I like players that go "alright, next time, I know this-and-that player might do that trick, and I won't fall for it again!"
