Luol Deng and Joakim Noah Catch Up on Old Times and New Beginnings

Luol Deng: Joakim! Man, it’s been a while since we’ve been on the court together. How’s it going?

Joakim Noah: Luol, my dude! It’s been too long. I’m good, just trying to stay busy. You’ve been all over the place inspiring the next generation. How’s that treating you?

Luol Deng: It’s been incredible, really. Setting up basketball camps in South Sudan and watching these kids grow, it’s a game-changer. Plus, it’s a nice switch from the intensity of the NBA grind.

Joakim Noah: Man, that’s so powerful. You’re literally giving kids opportunities they never had before. I still remember when we were rookies, just trying to find our place. Now look at us—making impacts off the court.

Luol Deng: Exactly. It’s all about paying it forward, right? And speaking of impacts, how’s life post-NBA treating you? Working on anything exciting?

Joakim Noah: Yeah, you know me, always onto something new. I’m diving deep into environmental activism, working on some projects to protect the oceans. And of course, I’m still around basketball. Coaching some, mentoring some. Just staying connected, you know?

Luol Deng: That’s amazing! We really are finding our own ways to give back. Also, I heard about your documentary work. What’s that about?

Joakim Noah: Oh, man, that’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. It’s about giving a voice to underrepresented communities, really sharing their stories. It’s intense but knowing it can make a change is worth it.

Luol Deng: Makes me proud to see you doing that. It’s like we’ve taken what we learned on the court—teamwork, commitment—and applied it to everything we’re passionate about.

Joakim Noah: For sure. And hey, next time you’re hosting a camp or need an extra pair of hands, count me in. We can show these kids some real Bulls nostalgia!

Luol Deng: You’re on! It’s a deal. Looking forward to the good old days, my friend. Let’s light up that court once more, one way or another.

Joakim Noah: Definitely. Until then, keep shining, brother!
