Nicolas Batum is perhaps playing his last season in the NBA, and he will play his last competition with the France team this summer. He knew Tony Parker, will know Victor Wembanyama, and he made a comparison between these two monsters of our basketball.
Every time we think about it at the end, Nicolas Batum finds a new youth and reminds the entire NBA what a valuable player he is. In the last months of his adventure with the Clippers, the captain of the France team, for example, had limited playing time and played more and more in the racket, which did not necessarily correspond to his qualities. But the trade to the Sixers was saving.
Repositioned on the wing by Nick Nurse, Batman was quickly adopted by his new fans due to his above-average intelligence. Even if it doesn’t always show in his statistics, he impacts his team’s games in a new way in Philadelphia. With Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, there is no need to fuss.

I played it three times during the season, in November, January and April.
I have seen three different developments and his level has increased each time, as has his understanding of the game. The scary thing is that he is only 20 years old, it is only the beginning of his career and this is undoubtedly his worst season in the NBA. I’m really happy to play with him this summer, it’s going to be great. He will bring something different on the pitch, but off it too. I played with TP, but I think it’s going to be something sick for him. There will be media excitement around him, and therefore around us.
For Nicolas Batum, putting on the blue jersey alongside Victor Wembanyama will be even more impressive than doing so with Tony Parker. He is not necessarily talking about the sporting level, but above all about the media and popular enthusiasm which will now surround the French team. The captain knows that he will have to set an example in front of millions of viewers, which galvanizes him!
The Paris Olympic Games will be an eventevent not to be missed for the French team. Nicolas Batum is looking forward to being there and discovering the pleasure of playing with Victor Wembanyama. They speak the same basketball, which promises!
