9. Joakim Noah – Florida

Noah played on consecutive National Championship teams for Florida. The big man showed how dominant of a presence he could be in those seasons. During his sophomore season the former Gator averaged 14 points and seven rebounds. Noah was named the most outstanding player of the NCAA tournament that season and was a huge reason why the Gators were able to beat UCLA for their first title. Noah had 16 points, nine rebounds and an astounding six blocks in his first title game.

The allure of the NBA came calling yet Noah decided to stay in Gainesville for one more season. That season would lead them back to the NCAA title game. Once again Noah, was a big catalyst for that. The big man averaged 12 points and eight rebounds during his junior campaign and once again Noah had some huge games in route the NCAA title. If he helped Florida win two National titles why is he on this list?

The big man played the game with a swagger and attitude that got underneath everyone’s skin. It was not so much the way he played but his attitude towards everything, Noah speaks his mind freely about every subject and comes across too many as an elitist who is better than everyone. He is a carefree guy, who likes to party and seems to not care all that much about playing basketball. He has alienated fans, schools and opponents. Compared to the rest of the list, Noah and his antics were mild.
