San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is known for resting his top players even during big games and to the dismay of the league and fans. One player that isn’t getting much rest is Boris Diaw. Tony Parker had a funny explanation as to why.
“I think it’s because Pop wants him to lose weight,” Parker said about his friend and fellow Frenchman. ”But I have to give credit to Bobo though he’s been playing very well and been taking care of his body. He’s looking good and he played great tonight.”
Diaw sees his lack of rest differently.
”Why would I? I’m so young,” he said. ”I’m same age as Tony, but I don’t age as much as much as they do. I stay young.”
Diaw’s weight has been an issue as long as he’s been in the NBA, but he has been more committed to conditioning since arriving in San Antonio. Also, remember that Parker and Diaw are both French, grew up playing together on national teams and the like, and are good friends. This is just guys being guys.
