Yannick Noah can’t help but cheer during ABC interview

Joakim Noah had a great sequence against the Heat, and his dad went nuts.

ABC's Lisa Salters interviewed Joakim Noah's father, 1970s French tennis star Yannick Noah, during the first half of Heat-Bulls Sunday afternoon. Joakim had a great sequence of hustle plays, and the interview fell by the wayside in awesome fashion.

Dads are the best.

UPDATE: Yannick was not done being fired up.
