I will be eternally grateful. Thank you to all my teammates for these unforgettable memories, thank you to all the staff we work with every summer, thank you to Vincent Collet&#8230; This jersey will continue to shine,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">The former player for Le Mans Sarthe, Portland Trail Blazers, SLUC Nancy, Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers stressed that &#8220;thank you all for the unconditional support and love that you have always given me. We have lived through ups and downs, very highs and very lows, but you have lived. I have always been there and I am proud to have contributed to writing part of the history of French basketball. Now, for the youngsters, the French team is in good hands and I know that this jersey will continue to shine blue and with pride forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Batum: &#8220;I know that I wouldn&#8217;t be well received in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbecause of what happened with Navarro&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">In a recent interview with <strong>&#8216;FirstTeam101&#8217;<\/strong> Nicolas Batum recalled his violent incident with Juan Carlos Navarro, to whom he gave <strong>a punch in the stomach at the 2012 London Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">&#8220;Which European team would I play for? I know that I wouldn&#8217;t be well received in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbecause of what happened with their current sporting director (Juan Carlos Navarro). That was sorted out with him, but not with the fans. They don&#8217;t like me very much in Spain&#8230; so I think that playing in Spain wouldn&#8217;t be good for me,&#8221; he said honestly.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\"  ><source type=\"image\/jpeg\"  ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"1400\" alt=\"Nicolas Batum's punch to Juan Carlos Navarro at the 2021 London Olympics\" src=\"https:\/\/e00-xlk-ue-marca.uecdn.es\/uploads\/2024\/09\/17\/66e911e8cacff.jpeg\"><\/picture><\/div><figcaption>\n<p><span>Nicolas Batum&#8217;s punch to Juan Carlos Navarro at the 2021 London Olympics<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">In 2012 Batum already stated that <strong>&#8220;I know I didn&#8217;t do well. My reaction was very bad and I have already apologized.&#8221;<\/strong>although in the same press conference he surprised by saying that &#8220;Many people through social networks or the media <strong>He congratulated me and thanked me for this action.<\/strong>. Even coaches and players from other teams&#8230; They just wanted to congratulate me and believe me when I tell you that it was a lot of people and not especially from France, but from all over the world. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s something to congratulate anyone for. I&#8217;m neither happy nor proud of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENRIQUE CORBELLA Updated 09\/17\/2024 &#8211; 07:21CEST Nicolas batum confirmed his international withdrawal posting a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga-breaking-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
