RIO DE JANEIRO – Boris Diaw snores.

Tony Parker knows this because, well, he knows everything there is to know about Boris Diaw. They are best friends, these 34-year-old Frenchmen who started running breaks together nearly two decades ago.

Parker knows Diaw loves his espresso (Roma brand only, of course); Diaw kept his own espresso maker inside the San Antonio Spurs locker room they shared the past few seasons, and now has one in the three-bedroom, six-person athletes’ village apartment where they’re rooming together at the Olympics.
