NY Knicks superstar Joakim Noah decided to skip a team dinner with cadets at West Point on Thursday night — and claims it’s because he’s anti-war.
Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, Kristaps Porzingis and others attended the function at the military academy in New York where the team has been training for the upcoming NBA season.
But Noah was M.I.A. at the dinner Thursday night — where military officials also gave speeches to the team — and Friday he told reporters he was making a political stand because he didn’t feel comfortable and hates war.
The Knicks have been training at West Point for a few years — but this is Noah’s first season with the team.
We reached out to the Knicks and Noah for comment. So far, no word back.
