Nicolas Batum announced his retirement from the French national team, together with Nando De Colo, however, his legacy includes two Olympic Games finals in which he lost to the USA, but the games were really competitive. That’s not a small thing, as he explained: “This is still the best team in the world. The USA is the best team but we’re getting closer and closer. I mean, we have pride. Not because the USA is going to show up, we’re going to just give them the game and say, okay, you are too good and we won’t compete”.
