The Source Of Joakim Noah’s Swagger? His Dad.
I tweeted this late last week, but it really deserves its own post.
You know how the Bulls’ Joakim Noah is known for loud, oftentimes goofy mannerisms? The man is a character; everyone soon found this out the first time we watched him as a member of the Florida Gators. Watch him on the bench when Brad Miller hits a three or gets fouled and makes the bucket, and that personality is still ever present. It annoys some. It’s endearing to others.
Well, have you ever seen his father play tennis? More importantly, have you ever watched this video of one of Yannick Noah’s last-ever tennis matches?
The resemblance to the younger Noah here is uncanny. The long arms. The goofball antics. It’s all here, people. Like tennis, pop star father, like basketball son.
