Boris Diaw

Boris Diaw is one of my favorite players to think about. At 203 cm he could have bullied opponents, but what I loved was his vision and unselfishness, the way he made teammates better and helped San Antonio win. The 2006 Most Improved award only hints at a basketball IQ that was always elite. Returning to play in France and then moving into club management shows a mind that never just relied on physical gifts. Even his famous love of coffee fits the unhurried, cerebral image. For anyone who values intelligence over highlights, Diaw is a delight.
