Since becoming team president, Phil Jackson has sought to not only bring more talent to the New York Knicks, but more high character and conscious players, as well. His ultimate goal has always been to recreate the DNA of the championship teams that he helped build in Chicago and Los Angeles.
Joakim Noah‘s on-the-court attributes have been discussed at length. If healthy, he will bring solid defense, rebounding, and passing to the roster.
However, after reading Phil Jackson’s recent comments in an interview with Charley Rosen, it appears that Noah’s fit with the Knicks is more than just X’s and O’s.
