Derrick Rose Needs Joakim Noah to Become Enforcer for Chicago Bulls

Derrick Rose needs a bodyguard.  Like Dennis Rodman did for Michael Jordan, Joakim Noah needs to play the enforcer role, getting in peoples' faces, pissing opponents off.  A few technicals wouldn't be the end of the world.  

I want Noah to be like Rodman.  I'm not saying he should start cross-dressing and coloring his hair, but Noah needs to embrace the role of Rose's enforcer.  Noah is never going to be a big scorer in the NBA but he could help Rose by playing tough, in-your-face defense and by bringing an intimidation factor to the Bulls' persona.  

Rose takes a lot of punishment.  The 23-year-point guard is not afraid to get hit on his way to the basket. When someone knocks Rose to the floor, Noah needs to get in their face and provide a little extracurricular activity.  It may sound dirty, but that's your MVP and he's precious cargo.  He needs protection.

Noah is the perfect man for the job. Already a premier defender, the emotional center's intense energy is felt every time he's on the floor as he often lets out a primal scream after plays.  

I know this isn't hockey, and I'm not condoning that Noah should fight.  However, he needs to become Chicago's bad boy, doing the Bulls' dirty work.  Like a frat boy at a kegger, Noah needs to steal the attention, so the Rose can sneak away unscathed.    

Rodman was this guy for Jordan.  The Bulls surely benefited from his toughness and might not have won three championships without him.  His role as the enforcer got under the opponent's skin, creating tension that often led to confrontation.  

I want to see this out of Noah—creating disruptions, sometimes giving hard fouls.  In the NBA, sometimes it's OK to be the bully.
