The Chicago Bulls are limping through another tough season which has them flirting with mediocrity. The loss of Derrick Rose, the various injuries that have ravaged the team and the trading of Luol Deng have physically and emotionally drained the Bulls this season.

But while we’re not even to the All-Star Break yet, the team is finding ways to take their minds off of things, as a new BMO Harris Bank commercial that is airing in Chicago reminds us how fun this Bulls team is off the court — specifically Joakim Noah.

In the ad, which states that if you sign up for the credit card it’s like the team is following you around, Noah and Jimmy Butler follow around fans who have the BMO Harris Bulls card. In one classic scene, Noah is at a book club along with one of the card holders with his hair down and his feelings flowing.

The goofy crying bit is classic Noah silliness, but given how hard he has taken the Luol Deng trade, he likely needed to let his hair down and reflect like he did in the commercial, even if the ad was shot before the trade was made.
