<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Two snippets of Boris Diaw's world tell you a lot about the Frenchman's personality. Throughout the season and playoffs, Diaw has been hosting five or six people in his house at all times. It is usually some mix of friends and relatives, mostly from France. "The main thing you miss when you change countries is your friends that you don't see, so I've always got people visiting," Diaw said. "That's why I don't get homesick." And there was the sight of Diaw in a hall near the locker room Wednesday, gently helping a bird trapped in the arena. He freed it outside the arena. "I love animals," he said.</div> Source
Diaw straight up rocks. He's fun to watch, he's got a great on-court personality and apparently an off-court one to match. It's much more enjoyable to have a team full of cool people. I'd hate to be a fan of a team full of thugs, in fact I wouldn't be a fan of such a team.

I wouldn't exactly call someone who preforms WWE moves on people a fun loving guy. Boris Diaw should consider adding some Gold to that Purple
I gotta say, considering the fact that Raja Bell was at one time considered one of the least effective players in the NBA, I have to give him some credit, mostly for doing whatever he had to do to get where he is. I'm not huge on thugs either, but this guy has earned his stripes in my eyes, if only because I'm a sucker for a Horatio Alger story. This guy can make a difference for a team that could well have passed him by, and he got inside the head of one of the premiere NBA players, just when his team needed to get shaken up a bit. As for getting under the skin of a 9-time NBA Championship winning coach more than any other player in recent memory, right on brother. I fully endorse the guy's style of play, only because it makes a nice contrast from the rest of the team, and everyone else knows that he is someone they can count on.
