Reason # 1,435,645 to love Joakim Noah

"I don't understand what's so circus about the trip," Noah said. "Everybody always says it's like a circus trip, but it's just a good team bonding (experience). We spend a lot of time together on the road."

A sympathetic reporter filled Noah in. It's called the circus trip because the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus moves into the United Center for two weeks every year, forcing the Bulls and the Blackhawks to hit the road.

"That's why they call it the circus trip?" Noah said with a laugh. "I was like, 'Why do they always call it the circus trip? What's so circus about it?' I didn't even know that."

Oh Joakim...I love that cooky SOB

I only went once to that Circus when I lived in Chicago. It was in 1997 that a young 7 year old had so much fun. Though, I think Noah knew the scenario from the initial. He probably was messing with the reporters.

i thought it was called a circus trip because the team traveled around to a bunch of places like a circus would. but this makes more sense
