Favorite athletes to follow? 

Noah’s favorite athletes to follow are Tony Romo, Jimmy Buttler, and Dwayne Wade. D Wade got him to watch basketball and he also enjoyed following Tony Romo. Now that the 2006 Finals MVP is retired, Noah really likes Jimmy Buttler. Jimmy Buckets plays with a lot of intensity and has the drive to be great. He had a huge run in the bubble last season and helped lead the Heat to the Finals where they lost to the Lakers in 6 games.
