The Chicago Bulls are convinced Joakim Noah's recent stretch of play has been so dominant the team is prepared to salute it in ways no one else quite yet seems inclined.
"Congratulations Joakim, All-Star," the team proudly saluted in a video posted on the team's official YouTube account Tuesday evening, according to BeyondTheBuzzer.com.
Just one thing: 2014 Eastern Conference All-Star reserves have yet to be officially named and won't be at least until Thursday night on TNT's weekly NBA telecast.
There's no denying Noah has been on a roll of late and probably even less of a fight that he is more than deserving for such distinction. Noah has averaged 12 points and 11 rebounds in keeping the undermanned Bulls afloat in the Eastern Conference.
But more than any individual numbers, Noah has been the Bulls most consistent player in a season where former league MVP Derrick Rose has again be lost to a season-ending knee injury and All-Star veteran forward Luol Deng was dealt to Cleveland.
Since Rose went down and Deng was traded, the Bulls (20-22) have gone 10-4 and remain in the playoff chase as the Eastern Conference's No. 6 seed.
