It would’ve been easy for Joakim Noah to consider giving up on the 2013-14 season at one point.

After all, the Chicago Bulls were without their best players in Derrick Rose and Luol Deng, and as a result, expectations were low after the team dropped to 12-18.

But instead of focusing on the dismal circumstances, Noah improved every facet of his game and helped lead the Bulls to a surprising 48 wins and the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Let’s take a quick look back at season that was for the Bulls big man, including season stats, memorable performances and a final season grade.
