Happy Birthday Joakim Noah!

On this day 31 years ago a beautiful French-Swedish baby was born an American citizen in New York City. Both he and his hair started growing at that moment and haven't stopped since. Joakim, that beautiful baby-turned-man is you. Hope you have a great day and a speedy recovery on your shoulder. It might have come out of place but you never will be. You will always belong in Chicago.

PS you're still about 4 and a 1/2 years younger than Pau, in case you were wondering.

As a birthday present, here's a sort of narrative of why you're so awesome and why I love you:
