Manu Ginobili had a problem on Thursday. Ginobili found himself looking for a way to make coffee but as an amateur coffee maker he had no idea the best way to go about making it for himself. So as any intelligent person with tons of Twitter followers would do, Manu asked the internet what coffee maker to get. Luckily for Ginobili plenty of people responded, including former teammate and coffee connoisseur Boris Diaw.

Diaw responded with the name of a model that turned out to be the famous expresso maker that he had in the locker room when he was a member of the San Antonio Spurs. Considering that Diaw was traded to the Utah Jazz this summer, Ginobili took advantage of an opportunity to not have to shell out money for his desired appliance.

First of all what a veteran move by Diaw. By allowing Manu to keep his coffee maker he gets free coffee when he comes to San Antonio. Diaw surely knows this and considering how important coffee has become to his pregame routine it is a great way to make sure that he has good games when he comes to San Antonio.

Also Manurista is a pretty great nickname for Manu. Twitter and Boris Diaw both remain the best.
