    NEW YORK (National Team) - The path is clear for Joakim Noah to play his international basketball for France after the 22-year-old was officially made a French citizen.

    Noah, who will play for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA next season, on Thursday received the necessary paperwork after months of waiting.

    The New York-born prodigy has a French father - former Roland Garros champion Yannick Noah - and a Swedish mother.

    He could play for either the United States, Sweden or Les Bleus, but he is yet to decide.
