Joakim Noah disses Ohio State, Cardale Jones calls him a ‘chump’

Cardale Jones and some of his Ohio State teammates were at Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Cavs and Bulls in Cleveland on Wednesday night. During a timeout, Jones took the mic and tried to pump up the crowd at Quicken Loans Arena.

“Let’s go bring another championship to Ohio,” Jones said, per Cleveland.com.

While Jones was addressing the crowd, Bulls center Joakim Noah apparently let it be known that he wasn’t impressed with the Buckeyes’ national title run.

Jones later caught wind of Noah’s comment and fired back at the former Florida Gator.

I’m at @JoakimNoah neck the rest of the series for that comment

Noah is known for being pretty outspoken, and hasn’t hidden his distaste for Cleveland in the past.

We’ll be waiting anxiously for his response.
