Besides being the heart and soul of his team (while in Chicago), he also possesses one of the most awkward shooting forms in the NBA. Noah basically passes to the rim with both hands. He shoots an arrow to the rim with no arc whatsoever. His hands have no roles, both are the shooting and guiding hands, giving the ball a sidespin instead of a backspin.

Overall, his hustle points more than makeup for his lack of shooting. Joakim Noah’s two-handed sidewinder has helped him earn his way to two NBA All-Star Games. Noah seems to take much pride in his ugly shot by saying that his shot is so ugly that it’s demoralizing to opponents.
