Boris Diaw announced his retirement from competitive basketball on Thursday, leaving behind a great legacy to French and worldwide basketball. A gold medalist with the French NT, NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs, Diaw is an unresting spirit with multiple talents.
Eurohoops digs into his off-court life…
Boris, the photographer
Diaw is well-known for his adoration of the lens. In fact, he has captured plenty of breathtaking moments in nature. Wildlife and picturesque sceneries seem to be a staple for the Frenchman.

Boris, the videographer
It’s not just photography that amuses Diaw. His occupation with the lens goes beyond single captures and he’s proved his talent in shooting videos multiple times as well.
Like that one time he and Evan Fournier took a trip down memory lane for “Bros. Stories”
Or when he captured the story of 2012 NBA champion Ronny Turiaf:
Boris, the writer
During his time in Africa, where he had the chance to shoot stunning pictures and videos, Diaw was inspired to write his own children’s book, telling the story of his crazy travels in the wild.
With the help of National Geographic, he released “Hoops to Hippos: True Stories of a Basketball Star on Safari”.
