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. The report says that she follows in her mother's career footsteps, as Cécilia Rodhe was once Miss Sweden in the 1970s.
The Noah family is full of interesting stories, as Joakim played at Florida and won two championships, while his father is Yannick Noah, a former tennis player and champion. The story says that Noah's sisters is the "coolest" of the family and has a very laid back personality. She also works in fashion and is a jewelry designer for a number of styles.
