Noah: Let everyone know that we're going to go head-to-head with James, and I hate fraternity

Former NBA player Joakin Noah was interviewed recently about his old rivals with Lakers forward LeBron James.

"Whenever we play against the Heat, the Cavaliers, or any team LeBron is on, it's always a war. Those are all races that you have to mark on the schedule. Noah said.

"LeBron he's a great player and when we play against him, I just want to let everyone know that we're going to play him head-for-tat. There won't be a feast of love, I hate the fraternal mess, and those things drive me crazy. Competition isn't always good-looking, and I think that's one of the things people love about it. It doesn't always inspire your best performance, and sometimes it's ugly. People always say, 'You're a sunspot.' That kind of thing. No, I just want to win. Noah said.

Noah said his mentality has changed since retiring.

"Now I'm trying to do things that unite the masses. Competition is no longer there, the situation is different. I don't want to compete with my family, I don't want to fight with my friends. Noah said.
