The former DPOY had his worst run with the New York Knicks. In the 2015-16 season, Noah suffered a terrible shoulder injury limiting him to just 29 games in the season. At the same time, Noah was given a massive 4-year, $72 million contract by the Knicks, which the center happily signed.

Former Knicks President and veteran Coach Phil Jackson did not believe the signing to be poor. However, Knicks fans did not like the fact that an injured player was given such a big contract for averaging 4.2 points the previous season. Fans’ nightmare turned out to become true as Noah suffered another Knee injury along with a 20-game suspension for violating the anti-drug policy. Noah played 46 games in his first season with the Knicks while he averaged a measly 5.0 points.
