<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <p class="News">Good look at Dirk: Nine seconds after Bulls rookie Joakim Noah entered Friday's preseason win over Dallas, he watched Dirk Nowitzki can a 21-foot jumper.</p> <p class="News">"He had the quickest release I've ever seen in my life," Noah said. "Welcome to the NBA, that's what it felt like. You can't get down when somebody like that hits shots. You've just got to contest it the best you can. He's the MVP."</p> <p class="News">Noah finished with 11 points and 7 rebounds against the Mavericks, but collected most of those numbers in the fourth quarter with subs on the floor.</p> <p class="News">Bulls coach Scott Skiles feels the only thing holding Noah back is the steep learning curve most every NBA rookie faces.</p> <p class="News">"He's a good basketball player. He's got nice versatility," Skiles said. "He really put the time in this summer once he got green-lighted on his shoulder. He was there constantly lifting, working. I saw his level of commitment to wanting to get better right away."</div></p> <p class="News">Mike McGraw / Daily Herald</p>
