Salary and Contracts
Over a 13-season NBA career, Noah earned approximately $140 million in salary. Much of this came during his years with the Chicago Bulls, where he signed a five-year, $60 million extension in 2010.
In 2016, he secured a four-year, $72 million deal with the New York Knicks. However, injuries and declining performance limited his impact, and the Knicks later bought out his contract—reportedly paying him $38 million to part ways.
Noah finished his career with shorter stints at the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers before retiring in 2021.
College Success
Before entering the NBA, Noah starred at the University of Florida, where he played a key role in leading the Florida Gators men’s basketball to back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2007. His performances made him a top prospect, and he was selected ninth overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.

- NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2014)
- Two-time NBA All-Star
- Multiple seasons averaging double-digit rebounds
His 2013–14 season is widely regarded as his peak, featuring dominant rebounding performances and several triple-doubles.
International Career
Eligible to represent multiple countries, Noah chose to play for France, competing in tournaments such as EuroBasket 2011. His international background reflects his unique heritage, as the son of tennis champion Yannick Noah.
Personal Life
