Love Joakim. How great is it that fans booed the draft pick, he goes in and plays his hardest from day 1 for a lousy team.
Calls out other teammates for lack of intensity - which prompts his own coach to tell him to shut up.
Coach gets fired, the Bulls turn into a solid team and Joakim is a solid contributor.
Basically, he showed you can work hard in the NBA and didn't just slack off and take a paycheck like a lot of players.
Changed the culture of that team.
And 2 National Titles for UF. Yeah - I like him.
