“Nico” Batum

[HardcoreHokie]

One of the National Heros in the Paris Olympics right now

Also, one of the most hated Hornets of all-time

Go Nico!

 

LOL

MJ paid him like a superstar while everyone knew he was/is a “glue guy”.

He was pretty damn good the season before he got paid.

 

Maybe you're right 15/6/6 the year before he got paid and the first year of his deal.

What’s funny is Batum had a ton of interest when he was a Free Agent that year and one of the primary teams flirting with him was - the 2016 Golden State Warriors.  

Batum was the backup plan if they couldn’t sign (also Free-Agent)…

…Kevin Durant.  Lol.  Look it up, KD was their Plan A in 2016 and “Nico” Batum was their Plan B.

Pretty sure history would look a little different with Nico Batum and the Splash Brothers against Bron.

That said, the Hornets have had so many fails but I don’t think I’ve EVER seen worse shooting form than this #2 overall pick behind AD…WTF… not sure what’s worse, the right elbow or the left hand… Go Hornets, we should finally have a good young team this year.
