Joakim Noah once made unannounced visit to Phil Jackson's house
Joakim Noah and New York Knicks president Phil Jackson share an interesting history with one another.
During Noah's introductory press conference with the Knicks on Friday, he revealed that his father, former French tennis star Yannick Noah, made him read all of Jackson's books as a child.
"And I hate reading books," Noah said, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post.
Noah then shared a story about the time he showed up at Jackson's house in Montana completely unannounced.
The Wall Street Journal's Chris Herring has the breakdown:
Noah just told a bizarre story about having gone to Montana four or five years ago to meet/hang out w Phil. Can't even sum it up in a tweet

Noah showed up at Phil's house in Montana & knocked on his door. "[Phil] said, 'Why are you here?' [Noah] said "I dunno." 😳

Then, if I'm understanding correctly, Noah stayed w Phil for 3 days. Bruhhh, I have so many questions

Bizarre, indeed.
