In addition to that, Noah won the Defensive Player of the Year award and was selected to the All-Star team for the second straight season. And if those accolades are not enough to prove that he is one of the best centers in the league, it should also be noted that he finished fourth in the MVP voting behind Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Blake Griffin.
