Summary

It seems impossible, but Joakim Noah is the ultimate combination of a free spirit and a competitive warrior. Now that his NBA playing days are over, he’s fully embraced looking deep into the passion and pain that drove him from living in his father’s shadow to becoming a leader at the highest level. Joakim gets real with Dan about the overwhelming physical and mental toll he took on in his insatiable desire to win, the regrets he has from his personal failures with the Knicks and how he's now found a new title he's ready to compete with his heart and soul for... happiness.
