Derrick Rose's injury status has overshadowed Joakim Noah's first All-Star bid. After seven seasons, Noah has finally earned his recognition; to play on the same stage as some of the MBA's best players.
An on-going foot injury has threatened not only Noah's performance this season, but many questioned his attendance at this years All-Star Game.
When addressing his concern for up-coming All-Star Game, Noah explained his desire to play, but made sure to point out that his priority was his performance for the rest of Bulls' season.
Despite his injury status, Noah arose from beneath the All-Star stage. The excitement was written all over his face.
Noah played with the intensity and aggressiveness that the fans and players alike have learned to expect from him. He played like the hardworking, blue-collar player that he has always been known to be.
While Lebron James and Kevin Durant spent the majority of the game impressing fans with their offensive skills, Noah stuck with his normal game plan-- being the great defensive player we have all come to love.
Although West beat the East 143-138, Noah has proved that he always leaves his heart on the court.
Noah has given Chicago fans hope during a Rose-less season. Hopefully these February Chicago showers will bring March flowers and will continue success for the Bulls.
