Chomping at Bits: Joakim Noah, our star of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game

Joakim Noah was not the MVP of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. But he was one of its stars.

Joakim Noah makes All-Star Game his own: Jo opened with his weird fan-hand dance thing in the lineup intros, then went about his typical work of hustling for loose balls, grabbing offensive rebounds, pleading with refs about no-calls, finding Chris Paul's face with his elbow, and crossing Zach Randolph up. I'm so glad he was and is ours. (Tom Ziller, SB Nation | Mike Prada, SB Nation)
