Joakim Noah speaks about woman’s rude farewell
Joakim Noah gave his thoughts on the rude gesture a Miami Heat season-ticket holder gave him after he was ejected during Game 2.
Meet Filomena Tobias
She's already famous for the most Florida reasons imaginable. “Do you have fun when somebody sticks their middle finger in your face?” Noah said to ESPNChicago.com.
Noah admitted that unruly fans, especially during road games, are part of the gig, and concurred that hostile treatment goes back as far as high school as it has for most players who have reached the professional level.
“It’s all good,” he said. “It’s all part of the process. It’s all part of the process.”
Of course, the teams could just call it even on "crowd interaction outbursts." In March, a fan in Chicago tried to swipe LeBron James' headband off of his head while he was leaving the court after the Bulls snapped Miami's 27-game winning streak.
