Boris Diaw is one of the more quirky guys in the NBA but he is a very cool guy in his own way. He has a great relationship with his coach, Gregg Popovich and that relationship tends to lead to alot of jokes between them and the rest of the team.

Diaw and Pop have an ongoing back and forth about Diaw’s weight. Coach Pop always thinks Diaw is out of shape but as you might expect, Boris doesn’t always agree with that. However, he did share how Pop does his best to regulate his weight.
“Sometimes we’re up 30,” Diaw says, “and he’s like, ‘I’m just going to leave you on the court so you can lose some weight.’”
He went on to say jokingly that when Pop does that he actually gets to play more than normal and he likes that. Whatever they have going on it seems to be working as Diaw always contributes in important ways when he is on the court helping the Spurs win.
