The Chicago Bulls are riding high after defeating the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern conference semifinals and one of the biggest reasons for the victory has been the play of forward Joakim Noah, who has been active despite a foot injury and he helped the team advance with a great performance in Game 7 against the Nets.
During that game on Saturday night, Noah could be seen on the broadcast going over to the stands and hugging and slapping hands with a female member of the crowd wearing his jersey and the reason for that was because the fan was his sister. According to thePostGame.com, Noah has a sister who is also well-known, as his sibling Yelena is a model that has had a productive career, much like her brother.
