Joakim Noah, like his father, is now a winner on the clay at Roland Garros. The former Chicago Bulls center teamed with Gabby Williams of the WNBA's Seattle Storm to beat former Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton and Spanish tennis player David Ferrer in a basketball game on the famed clay of Court Philippe-Chatrier on Wednesday night.
"I'd never played basketball here, for sure," Noah said after the game, part of the lead-up events for Thursday's game between the Bulls and Pistons in Paris. "I've hit some tennis balls a few times on this court. It's a really special place." Noah's father, Yannick Noah, was the French Open men's champion in 1983. Joakim Noah was born in 1985, won two NCAA titles at Florida and was a two-time All-Star in a career that spanned 13 seasons -- mostly with the Bulls.
