Last week Spurs fans got all, um, a-Twitter over the reveal of Boris Diaw’s new nickname: Tea Time.
LaMarcus Aldridge christened the 33-year-old Frenchman as such, paying homage to Diaw’s meandering, no-sweat, laissez-faire forays to the basket.
Diaw didn’t disavow the nickname exactly.
“It’s OK,” Diaw said. “I’m more of a coffee guy.”
Fast forward to Saturday, when Spurs players arrived at the AT&T Center before a game against Utah to find Diaw had done arguably the most Diaw thing ever.
He had installed a working espresso machine in his locker, completing the set with three tiny cups with saucers.
