If James Bond was a 6-foot-8 French basketball player, he would be Boris Diaw. When the Utah Jazz big man isn’t throwing no-look passes from the post or flashing Kevin McHale-esque footwork under the basket, he’s hanging out with the French navy, directing short films or waxing philosophical on the culinary arts, fine wines and exotic coffees.
Without a doubt, Diaw is The Most Interesting Man in the NBA. I’ll put it this way — if, for some reason, I was dropped unarmed and penniless in Volgograd, Dubai or Hong Kong on some kind of secret mission, I’d want Diaw as a guide.
