He sure did. And few realize it. We b ball fans think of LeBron, Bird, maybe Barry as great passing F's. They certainly were. Boris is not nearly the player they were. But he could pass few non guards EVER have.
One of my favorite players of all time. Heavy dude, mobile, impeccable court vision, elite passing, sweet touch, and not a bad post package. Big body on defense as well.
That Spurs squad was amazing, every player knew what's happening in the field and what's happening in the game. Such a pleasure to watch them playing together.
Man listen. The 2013-14 spurs was one of my favorite teams to use... and THIS DUDE was on of the main reasons why. Boris could do everything on the court. Pass, post up and shoot 3s could play from the middle of the court and at the top of the key. Bruh. Its only right this guy has a championship 😤
At that point Pop "genuis" si simply not being too self centered for a us citizen and knowing how ball is supposed to be played. It's kind of sad for the rest of the us bb scene though.
Moreover when you know Babak was incredibly in shape when he was young. He has incredible genetics and was a freak when he was in French U-18 and then in Pau Orthez. Smashing hammers like I breathe. He just enjoyed life a bit when he grew up. :)
I just realize Leflop has Diaw mentality instead of mamba mentality. Leflop is just Diaw with better dribbling and shooting skills and of course more athletic. I see a lot of bronsexuals worshiping lebron pases just because is Lebron but they look at Diaw's basketball and dont get impressed. That's how you know they are only fan of a product, not real basketball lovers.
Yann yowane weight was a issue for him since his early days in the nba, they are saying had he been fit he’d be a all star level player which is true. They even put in his contract one year if he gained 5 pounds while under that contract he’ll lose half a million lol
His mother is a former french basketball star. TP may have had the better career in the NBA but for many Boris is the better player, maybe the best we ever had. In France there is a word play with his last name "Diaw", we often call him "Boris Dieu" (sounds the same in french) which litterally means "Boris God".
Borris was a poor mans Lebron James. And that not a diss on Borris. That’s just how awesome Lebron is. Borris high Basketball IQ, good size and strength. Just not as athletic as Lebron.
