[couvic76]

[RedDragonAirsoft]

thank you france!

from the blazer fans in portland oregon

[jrzy49]

Batum is amazing. He can guard every position.

[geekhater360]

He just needs to gain more muscle and then he can be a scary guy to play against.

[indomie3]

BATUM SHAKALAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StormyWeather21]

I love watching josh smith toss his shit over and over

[qetwr111]

@StormyWeather21 sounds dirty

[StormyWeather21]

@qetwr111 now that I read my comment again, I agree with you lol...

[TeRRoRx503]

BATUM!

[Skiiiiirt]

RIP BABY!

[Neodiary]

You gotta check out the french national-team :

Turiaf

Parker

Diaw

Pietrus

Petro

Batumn ... needs no comment ... or just DAMN !

[dwyanewadesucks]

Team USA is better.(minus Wade)

[Neodiary]

Jep that´s true ... but I think in europe the french-team is the best

[petrovic067]

belgium just beated them

[Skiiiiirt]

WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYY Better!

[Erythor]

good players, but the team didn't get any result yet...

8th place to the 2007 european championship, did not qualify for the olympics...

[householddhacker]

@Neodiary they wer shite at the world cup, anelka hahahaha

basketball sucks

go suck sarcozy's dick u pussy

[fmoa]

@householddhacker another jealous brit..LOL..i think you mad coz the brits sucked at basketball,i mean there are no euroleague u.k teams coz brits sucks,heck they suck at every sport including sports they invented like futbol,cricket n rugby,brits suck at this sports,france n other european nations av been sending talented basketball players to the u.s,they also earn mulit-million dollar deals from those u.s team,so hate on this guy all you like,but he's got more money then your family combine.

[fmoa]

france av great basketball players,rugby players,greatest footballer of all time that is zidane n great other athletes,how about u.k..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh..david beckham,LOL,reason david beckham good is coz he looks good,but as a footballer,he shit,even at rugby,france av more victories against the aussies n new zealand than fucken britain.

[tmoneysn]

@Neodiary Diaw is sick overweight, but the rest of that squad is legit. Too bad turiaf and Parker withdrew. Nico is a beast, can't wait for my lakers to the blazers in the playoffs and see this guy perform.

[gaulchtaillnn]

@Neodiary

And you can now add J.Noah and R.Beaubois to the potential team ;)

[imagine00]

Shame on you

[fantasybeasta13]

I think what rhodk129 meant was that he saw Nicolas Batum in person at a zoo someplace, maybe in Portland.

Don't think he was bein racist of derogatory. If u r tho rhodk, go eat a dick racist mothafucka. Hope u choke on it too.

[imagine00]

Yeah maybe ... I hope I'm wrong.

[acotytamwiesz]

pick my cotton bitch. fuck slave nigger

[jkoff76]

RIP CITY

[goldlion2]

very poised and a very athletic player

[ragstoriches919]

hes doing good really well against the spurs rigt now..

[adamzizhere]

batum is starter for the blazers he good on defense

[rooster541]

Batman might be a starter this year he's lookin' so good! Go Blazers!!

[efimeridodietos6]

NBA

[carlOsinhoOrtega]

danilo gallinari is better...

[rynus]

more like "welcome to the boise d-league team"

[MihailTronix]

I don't like Batum at all. Yes he's an athletic player, but he must work on his ballhandling and jump shot!

[SeattleDrumSchool]

Rip City Baby! Welcome to Portland.

[shadowstrider]

dayum did he say 7-7 fg and 3-3 threes

[nurbs187]

boom boom batum, welcome to portland...someday.

[emilio4rmtexas]

shartwich ur gay the rockets are the best team and will always be the best ur team sucks

[atlghettoboi]

Nobody!!!!! who in the NBA can't do what he does??? people standing 5'8" can do it better welcome to the NBA and america

[jkoff76]

He's got a good size and athleticism. But he needs a few years overseas.

[CavsCB20]

RIP CITY!

[SureMind89]

Darrel Arthur is stronger

[crudelamens]

KP got his guy again

[calebrich7]

no one can stop the rockets there goin all the way they should of got douglas roberts tho

[shartwich]

lol the rockets wont get past the first round that win streak was luck

[d0xit0]

an eloquent 0-9 record? wtf did he say?

WHY DIDNT ROCKETS DRAFT CDR, OR DARRELL ARTHUR DAMMIT!!!

[djrick76]

[kjaffri]

welcome to the Houston Rockets

[CroRuption]

more like blazers

[emilio4rmtexas]

[chinazhoubin]

he maybe the next Prince

[bimsforlife]

interesting pics by the rockets coud be really good/.

[masterjazz412]

i hope he makes my rockets gnasty

[TheGreatRyanED]

Rockets drafted him at 25.

Not a bad pick for Rockets...

[baconisyummy1]

he was just traded to portland, for the darft rights to darrel arthur.

[baconisyummy1]

i mean draft

[dirtyspursfan]

Spurs fissin to get this ni99a at 26 BIATCH!!!

[dundunna05]

Lets get em rockets!!

[FilmTheNoob]

Raptors ARE getting him

[AQGOAT24]

hopefully raptors can get him

[Turqboy]

i hope the suns get him at 15, he would be fantastic with diaw, spurs dont need him

[alexaisalesbian]

i think he will become a very good player

the french have given competitive players in the past decade.

think parker and diaw

but they did require some time to develop

and at 19, he will definitely need soem time to develop

[ImOnFire12]

Raps are getting him

[desiTmac91]

Future Batum! the mocks have him falling to us and our genius gm Morey has been workin his ass off to get a deal done.

[EXECUPHONE]

He should be a top 5 but he still need 1 year in Le Mans, sitting on a bench will kill his development.

[hittemupright23]

rockets will get him if he's there at #25 hell they might trade up in the draft to get him i know they really like him.they need to ship luther head ass out of h-town asap!

[thursday444]

i think he has got a lot of talent and could be real good, but depending on which team drafts him he may stay in europe

[dirtyspursfan]

Spurs will get him. Tony and him are real tight.

[jcruz03]

Raptors are getting him .

[StandupShowcase]

i hope the knicks get him

[karolw91]

he will be selected probably by new jersey

they got 10th pick

[vcart54]

He's a French Jew who is good at the 3-pointers?

[Menace23Society]

jewel i think

[legushka123]

i hope he'll get picked by the raptors

[ericlin538]

I hope so too, but with 17th pick? Hope he is still around when it's our turn :(

[warriorsfanboy1]

He is very similar to mickael pietrus. And know im not saying he sucks and lately pietrus has playing very well. Batum has the 3 point range, athleticism, quickness, defense,and size as pietrus.

[clee2322]

This kid has alot of upside... But it all depends on him working and getting better. Will he not live up to the HYPE like Darius Miles? Johnathon Bender, Even Lamar Odom. He has the same kind of game as those guys coming out of HIGH SCHOOL.

IF he works hard and continue to get better he could be a possible 18ppg guy in the NBA... But if he doesnt hes going to end up like those guys

[manceau72]

BABABABABABABA BATUM !!!!!!!

[TJ2TJ2TJ]

Europeans coaches probably won't send their players to the wegiht room as often because they have alot of young player, and they still have room to grow. Weight lifting will stunt your growth.

[Getin2LowinATL]

it wont stunt your growth if you take it after you've started puberty. Look at LeBron James, he looked like a full grown man coming out of high school at like 6'9' 230

[alina15]

Anybody knows name of the song?

P.S.Batum is the best young highflyer in the EUROPE!

[Getin2LowinATL]

he looks good but i dont understand why the european teams havent figured out that they need to get their players in the weight room. he is like 6'7 210. if he wants to play in the nba he needs to add at least 20 pounds

[TopSpurs90]

In the European leagues, the focus isn't so much on the size and strength of the players, it's on the fundamentals. Batum will put on the weight he needs over the summer and in the pre-season. He's a great prospect but like most European players, he won't thrive straight away. He needs time.

[valentinchris12]

19 years, french star....

[dandihouse]

The most top palyer in europe is Danilo Gallinari from Aj MIlano and not Batun
