https://youtu.be/vEnRlLPN7EE Though his first eight games as a Clipper, Nic “The Fraudulent Frenchman” Batum has already scored more points than he scored all of last season with the Hornets. Granted, “all of last season” for Batum was just 22 games (he got perma-benched at a certain point), but, still, he’s doubled his scoring rate between…

Nicolas Batum All 28 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
At any given point in the NBA, there are a select few players who are held up as examples of what happens when the guaranteed contract system goes horribly wrong. Rashard Lewis was one of those players, once upon a time. Gilbert Arenas has been in this category. More recently, the cap spike that enabled…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 20 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2019)
Bad news for Hornets fans: Nicolas Batum is still getting paid 75 million over the next three years (this year included, and the last year is a player option but why the heck wouldn’t he take it), and he seems to have decided that he doesn’t want to score the ball anymore. Good news for…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Having OFFICIALLY left his twenties and entered his thirties on the very day this game was played, Nicolas Batum is now OFFICIALLY an old man. No longer a young man with endless opportunity in front of him, Batum now enters the ranks of the elderly, content to live out their final years of declining health,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum Triple Double 10 Pts/10 Rebs/16 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2018)
This is the most assists by a player in a Hornets uni since Kemba Walker somehow also got 16 back in 2014 even though he doesn’t really want to pass the ball as a general rule. Also of note: Raymond Felton got 19 for the Bobcats once, and Brevin Knight got 20. That last one…

I think the Hornets would be in the playoff hunt right now if Nicolas “Ball Puncher” Batum wasn’t so damn inconsistent. One game he’ll look like this, hitting jumpers and making nice passes, then the next he’ll not do much except trudge around the court with a hangdog expression on his face. Consistency is hard…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 12 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2018)
Nic Batum has been on a diming spree since the All-Star break; in the eight games he’s played since then, he’s gotten 7, 8, 9, 12, 10, 8, 8, and 10 assists. His scoring has dropped off in that span, thanks to his new focus on getting his teammates involved: the most points he scored…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/4/2018)
I might have to reconsider Nicolas “Bad-dumb” Batum’s nickname. I’ve been working on it the whole season after seeing how bad and dumb he was being, polishing it up for release, and now that I’ve finally finished it, it’s not relevant anymore. This will be the only time it gets used, I think. I wonder…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
Nicolas Batum had a triple-double last game? Was this, like, a retroactively granted triple-double? Because I totally would’ve made a video for it had I noticed about, but I swear I did and I swear he only had 9 assists. Too late now. I don’t go back in time to do highlights. So I apologize…

I will not stop being amazed at how much Nicolas Batum is getting paid. I know I bring it up in almost every description, but in fairness to myself, is there anything else to talk about regarding him? No. He only exists as a number in a spreadsheet. Or, 22,434,783 numbers. He had a good…
