evening in tribute to a Bulls icon, and we weigh our words

On this October 28, 2021, Joakim Noah is going to live his best life. He was honored by the Bulls during the Chicago – New York game, two cities and two franchises dear to Jooks. To wait before the start of this “Joakim Noah Night”, we turn up the mayonnaise!

Number 13, bun tied like a barbarian, pair of coq sportif screwed to the feet and forward to distribute slaps all evening. No doubt, the picture is crystal clear, we are talking about Joakim Noah version Bulls. A story that began on the evening of the 2007 Draft where the pivot was selected by the Taureans in ninth position. The romance will last nine seasons during which everyone will find something to their liking. Combative, intelligent, versatile and above all brimming with energy and intensity, Yannick’s son quickly becomes a darling in Windy City, bringing the bun back in fashion from 2007 to 2016. Worn by his duet with D-Rose, the Bulls will shine in particular at the beginning of the years 2010. Best record in the League at the end of the 2010-11 season with 62 wins for 20 losses, Jooks could have a ring on his finger if his path had not crossed the three amigos of the Heat in the Eastern Conference Final. What if D-Rose hadn’t hurt himself? What if, what if, what if … Noah still has a well stocked trophy cabinet in Illinois. Two All-Star Game appearances (2013 and 2014), one All-NBA First Team nomination in 2014, syears forgetting a Defensive Player Of the Year trophy in fiscal year 2014. Also that year, he finished fourth in the MVP race behind KD, LeBron and Blake Griffin. Not bad is not it ?

It is all of his work that is being honored this evening. The Bulls have chosen a date anything but trivial to release the jerseys of the 13. Tonight, Chicago receives New York, the second franchise of Joakim. Gamin, the native of the Big Apple, dreamed of wearing the famous blue and orange jersey. The guy is the type to make his dreams come true, so he did it from 2016 to 2018. A story that ended badly for the Frenchie, between injuries, altercations and G League. Those bad memories will be repressed tonight in Chicago, like you and your friends at Macumba on Saturday. Tribute from the public, franchises, his former teammates and coaches (Billy Donovan was his trainer in Florida), the party promises to be beautiful. In the lot we will obviously count Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson and Tom Thibodeau, arriving straight from NY with the tracksuit to celebrate their old friend Jooks. A great reunion in which Carlos Boozer, who still looks just as nasty, and Luol Deng, who is still well paid by the Lakers, will also participate. Emotion, a great match between two teams making a big start to the season, D-Rose back in Chicago. In short, everything is there to celebrate Joakim Noah, the atmosphere promises to be crazy and we can not wait to be there!

Nostalgia, reunion, numbers 13 and crying sports fans, this will be the norm tonight in Chicago for the “Joakim Noah Night”. So we set the alarm clock… and we savor!
