Nico BATUM Nike Hoop Summit

[peacequiet]

He was terrific in his 4th preseason game..

This kid has arm span like an eagle.

[megadriver23]

they got destroyed by the USA lol

[obiwanfrenchy11]

Batum is NICE!!! he needs to gain like 20 pounds of muscle though....

Allez, nico, fais attention a ton physique...fais tout pour gagner du muscle parce que la NBA c pas la meme chose...

[Jeremy1281988]

lol, there were 3 portland players in that game.

Bayless, Batum and Koponen (the white PG who alley ooped it to Batum toward the beginning).

[bahickma]

I love how all of the European sensations that people rave about are the guys getting abused by Beasley, Bayless, Donte Greene, and even Kyle Singler.

[BlazeThePtown]

fuck yeah

[bencw05]

damn this kid looks good. good size with good handle. like a more skilled Boris Diaw. the blazers came up.

[StudebakerHawk1982]

He better get sized up for his 2010 NBA Championship ring... RIP CITY!!!

[RVDX]

[endemicgoogle]

Similar to Thabo Sefolosha...

[dmxof19]

[leventi009]

yo this guy is crap do u realize he would get eaten alive in the NBA the raps need a big that can rebound and dunk in faces like hibbert or they can trade tj and grahm and 17 pick to get beasley

[theworldismine456]

shit cant wait for raps to draft this guy he is like a one man team in this vid

[bastignax]

twas just him

[legushka123]

hope the raps get him. he would fit well in Toronto, and Canada is the closest thing to France in north america.

[JBFresh03]

what's the song you have playing on here??

btw, I think the Raps could use this guy(Y).

[402do]

[iamerection39]

[CSeyoum]

[yanng10]

Futur meilleur joueur français, et c'est un manceaux!!! MSB FOR EVER

[Guillaume17]

what is the title of the music please ?

[1KenNet]

you caucasians can't be trusted for basketball knowledge, what about darko, andrew bogut, that guy in toronto?? come on dude, this guy is sick

[THEMAN62084]

Take Bogut off that list, you might not of been aware but Bogut is turning into a stud, and is improving all the time. He averaging 16 and 12 since the all star break, and 14 and 10 on the season, and he has become a very good shotblocker which wasnt really expected of him, when he was drafted.

[1KenNet]

are those all star numbers, c'mon this guys production is slightly better than kwame brown, you can get that kind of production from drew gooden, not producing like a lottery pick, solid though

[king66pin]

yes it was...he was supposed to be a defensive big man for the bucks and the future defensive big man...

he was expected to block and alter shots.

[king66pin]

bargnani isnt a bust after 2 seasons, he is a jump-shooting big man, it takes a long time for those kinds of big men to develop....u know how dirk played in his second season? bad...

[tigerlky]

dirk 2nd season = 17.7 ppg

if you call that bad, what do you call bargnani?

[king66pin]

shit...btw, i guess i made a mistake, i guess dirk only played bad his first season :s

[bufrisa]

gallinari is the future

[manceau72]

gallinari is a bitch

[bufrisa]

and batum is gay

[MacoAsi]

i hear him being compared alot to grant hill. i dont know i watch a hell of alot of euroleague and to be honest i think he is too pasive. he isn't agressive enough to be an impact player. he's almost like a shane battier. good defender and fits in to roles very well, doesnt have the greatest shot and queit smart. however, he is way more athletic. also, considering he is still very young he can perhaps prove me wrong and become a superstar. i thinks he's still a lock for a late lottery pick.

[flychild]

This Frenchy is wannabe Kobe Bryant, he even wears the number 8, get some tattoos BATUM. Stop Snitchin Nugget bitch!

[droptopsixfo]

This "frenchy" is better than 95% of american ballers so watch out for him...coming to an NBA arena near you

[gpc56]

95%.....bit of a reach there isn't it? I'm just saying lol

[DH2020]

before someone makes him up to be the next big thing, let him get to the NBA and have a season under his belt. OHH MY GAWED ITS THE NEXT MICHAEL JORDAN!!!

[nadavg10]

the next Scottie Pippen. Look at his huge armspan. the dope song that's being played just so ya'll know is Method Man the Prequel. word.

[zaclemac]

yeah i often see le Mans playin,batum's team ,and I think he's gonna do really good in the nba.He's athletic ,skilled and he plays for the team not for himself as many nba players do.

[letsdothisrightnow]

rudy gay? no way! he is very similar to kevin durant. about same height, same body, long, athletic, nice touch from the outside, etc. might be a little too unselfish at times. if he was in an american college he would be first team all-american. luckily he gets to avoid the ncaa b.s.

[americanaccents]

agreed

[VannakN]

he's like kevin durant except he a lil bit more of a slasher

[tchedizzle]

he reminds me of grant hill

[HaRdKoRexRoCkEr]

said hes compared to rudy gay

[gregoireog]

Ive never been a biggie on "length", it just didnt seem to matter to me, this is the first guy whos "length" atually impresses me

he will be a little above average in the NBA

[coldlynx]

Plays like a french version of T-Mac.

[CSeyoum]

aint no derick rose or oj mayo but id take him

[Jeremy1281988]

come to portland man! we need a SF to finish out our ranks

[themadgee]

wish come true

[Ceapunk]

That kid is good......

[beyayatch]

what's the name of this song?

[bitzrider]

I think Danilo is a little better

[avadahmer]

Gallinari might be a little better player if you speak of international standards. But if you speak of NBA standards, Batum is way better than him

[bitzrider]

I think Danilo just needs more power, he is surely less athletic than Nicolas but technically I think he's better.

[avadahmer]

That's exactly why I think Batum is more NBA-ready. Now for Gallinari, if he goes in a team such as Phoenix or Toronto, which have a good mix of both US and Euro style, he could do a good career, maybe even better than Bargnani.

[1adriano0]

Gallinari is ten times better than bargnani...i've seen both lots of times, trust me...

[zerostorie]

i really do agree...and il gallo is a hundred times better than batum...basketball is not only jump&dunk...

[iamerection39]

Nicholas Batum aint just jump and dunk either
