Boris Diaw pens children's book for National Geographic

You know that old guy who sort of looks like Fidel Castro and does those Dos Equis beer commercials?

Boris Diaw is the NBA version of him: The most interesting man in the world.

The San Antonio Spurs forward-center, a noted wine connoisseur and yacht enthusiast, is also a photographer who likes to take pictures of animals while on safari in Africa.

That's why he's written a book for a National Geographic's children's series called "Hoops to Hippos: True Stories of a Basketball Star on Safari."

The Spurs remain, in a lot of ways, the most interesting team in the world.
