Boris Diaw was known for two things over the course of his NBA career: his outstanding basketball IQ, and a rather paunchy exterior. Former teammate Tony Parker even cracked that San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich played Diaw for so many minutes because the sheer energy expelled playing basketball could lead to Diaw losing weight.
It’s been reported that the Spurs even put in financial incentives worth up to $500,000 if Diaw would keep his playing weight below 254 lbs through the course of an entire season.
