Chicago has won 8 of their last 11 with Noah leading the way in the absence of Derrick Rose. Noah now has 2 career triple-doubles; the last Bulls frontcourt player before him with a triple-double was Dennis Rodman in 1996.

Given the dearth of true centers in the game today, he really should be an All-Star. But he’s earned it too. He’s having a career year.
