>”I’ve never been ashamed with this jersey but this is the first time I’m ashamed,” Batum said. “I’m scared to go home because we let a lot of people down. A lot of people believed in us to do something special. We didn’t do it.”

Straight to the guillotine
if you did your best, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. keep your head up, nic. I KNOW YOU ARE READING THIS
they’re French toast
A lot of the black French athletes talk about how when they win, the media bigs them up as Frenchmen… But when they lose they always bring up how there’re the children of immigrants as if that makes them any less French.
They surrendered early in true French fashion
Portland doesn’t care
sucks to see Batum retire like this, he deserves better sendoff
You could say this about any Frenchman who’s ever lived
How they get knocked off aren’t groups 4 games total??
Sounds like he was only at the tournament for the zipline if I’m being honest.
Fourth Quarter, Yelling Why The Fuck Batum In.
Luckily for him he can go “home” to the Hollywood Hills.
Old ass Nic wasn’t the problem.
This reminds me of the Colombian soccer player Andres Escobar who was killed because he scored an own goal in 1994 FIFA World Cup. I don’t think French fans are that crazy, so hopefully Batum can stay safe
Someone should tell him it’s basketball, not soccer.
What’s waiting for you at home, Nicolas?
He understands what it’s like to fail as a sixer now. Fans will not show mercy.
The French government criticized Trevor Noah when he said Africa won the world cup when France won.
Trevor Noah’s point is that when they win, they are French. When they lose they are called black/African immigrants.
“When they are unemployed, commit crimes they are called African immigrants” – (just paraphrasing)
