Chicago Bulls center, Joakim Noah, couldn’t contain his excitement after being selected to his first All-Star Game. The 5th year pro is averaging a career best 12.2 points a game to go along with 11 rebounds and two blocks. The Chicago Bulls will have two players representing the Eastern Conference in Noah and Luol Deng.
It’s obvious Noah didn’t check with his editor or his publicist before tweeting out his acceptance speech.
I can't believe it… This has been a long journey. I want to thank all my teammates and my mother for dealing with all my shitiness.
