Memphis Grizzlies big man Joakim Noah has always been known as an eccentric individual. He's not afraid to express his opinion, be it verbally or visually. However, his latest bit of on-court shenanigans takes the weird cake.
Noah and the Grizzlies were in Atlanta on Wednesday night for a matchup against the Hawks. The game didn't go as planned for Memphis, as they were defeated by a score of 132-111.
With just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter and his team trailing by 16 points, Noah made his way to the charity stripe for a free-throw attempt. As players from both sides assumed their positions, something (or someone) in the crowd caught Noah's eye.
Standing at the free-throw line, Noah licked his lips in a rather awkward manner while looking into the stands. The former University of Florida standout then raised his eyebrows and blew a kiss. It was clear that he liked what he saw.

Noah logged 24 minutes in Wednesday's game, scoring 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field (2-of-3 from the free-throw line), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal. Kisses or not, that's a fairly solid outing. At this point, it's not clear who his gestures were aimed at.
Joakim Noah and the Grizzlies (28-41 and 4th in the Southwest Division standings) will be back in action on Saturday, when they'll travel to the nation's capital for a matchup against the Wizards. Tip-off inside Capital One Arena is set for 7:00 p.m. ET.
