<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Luol Deng lives next door to Nocioni and said he'd come home tired from road games and the energetic Nocioni would be bouncing off the walls. And it has always been this way. Deng recalled his first impressions of Nocioni when the two were rookies in the Bulls' 2004 training camp. "I hated it," said Deng, who was matched up against the bundle of energy in practice. "But it helped me a lot. In games, guys don't go as hard as he does in practice. Every time I got hurt, I thought it was Noce." In this regard?and this regard only?Nocioni might rival another former Bull, Dennis Rodman. He's the player you dislike as an opponent but love as a teammate.</div> http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...i-sportstop-hed
Yep, that's our Noce. They both live in Northbrook, close to Ben Gordon. Btw, did you see Comcast Sports Day today? They had an interview with Thabo and it shown him juggling the basketball around with Deng like you would with a soccer ball.
