Exactly. If you're getting angry about the other team flopping then give them a hard ass foul. Hitting someone in the nuts is a bitch move and worse then flopping.

[AK47DR91]

We now have an answer to flopping. :lol

[glidedrxlr22]

He blasted them nuts with a wind-up. Damn. :eek:

[Bertz]

He's shown more aggression there than he did in his entire NBA career so far.

[DuMa]

it would have been more fitting if he did it to Rudy imho. those two have a good history going on.

[chips93]

wojo interviewed batum, and he said it was because of spains tanking of the last game

[DuMa]

John Hollinger: The first game between Nic Batum and Reggie Evans is Sunday, Nov. 25.

[LuppersGB]

About 30secs earlier Rudy had made the mother of all flop plays to get Turiaf fouled out. Obviously the French were pissed. Batum took the swing to get a proper flop a la quote. After the hit he tried to get at someone else and the ref had to basically carry him off:D

[BigMic]

He's shown more aggression there than he did in his entire NBA career so far.
In NBA he is like Duncan he doesn't show his emotions.

[imnew09]

Seriously, no matter how valid Batum's reason is, punching another man's balls is inexcusable.

[swi7ch]

Should be banned forever.

one of the saddest moments in sports for me

:(

[sagr32]

Batum pretty much realized there wasn't going to be a penalty that really affected him and he just put all his frustrations in that punch. Its ****ed up but it was hilarious when I watched it live. It was the best part of an otherwise ugly game.:oldlol:

[Rake2204]

Are there any clips of the flops that led to Batum's reaction?

[kaiteng]

There will be some sort of penalties from FIBA for Batum later anyway but it probably won't affect France in bigger games in the future. We will see how things go.

[franchise#3]

lol

He should be banned from the Olympics

[BoutPractice]

Damn. One of my favorite players too. Very Zidane.

I can understand his frustration, as Rudy's flopping a few seconds before in particular bordered on crime against humanity (and the referee call was one of the worst I'd ever seen), but come on, you just don't do that.

[hawksdogsbraves]

At least be a man and punch him in the face or something :facepalm

Watching it in live motion, I don't think Batum was trying to aim for the balls. He was just swinging his fist in frustration and it happened to hit Navarro's crotch. :lol

Still, Batum should've composed himself though.

spain throwing the brazil game for better seeding, was another reason for batum's anger, according to wojo

somebody make batum green.

[vinvin01]

Tension started to grew up a lot between the two teams after the dirty foul of Rudy on Parker last year.

I understand Batum so much, but he shouldn't have done that, and he deserves to be suspended for some games. At least he should have done that on Rudy, who deserves it and much more

[DuMa]

at least you can say France didnt go down swinging :D

[TonyD]

I was rooting for France for the upset but they only have themselves to blame for that 10 minute drought that started in the 3rd and continued into the 4th. They lacked depth so Spain was able to take Tony Parker completely out of the game.

[ace23]

Are there any clips of the flops that led to Batum's reaction?
This

[jstern]

This reminds me of a youtube video that I saw yesterday. One part of town did something to another part of town, and as a result the other part retaliated, and then the other one retaliated, and the whole video consisted of gory pictures of pictures with their brains all over, kids with their throats cut, mass murder of children, dozens of people tied up before being shot. So it's a good thing to always keep your cool because a punch to the nuts can really cost you if someone decides to retaliate.

HOLY SHIT! Batum has never done anything remotely violent while he was playing for Portland. I already was upset that we re-signed him for so much, but this just makes me wish even more he wasn't re-signed by Portland. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[ILLsmak]

I remember this dude grabbed another guy by the nuts in a car when they were talking shit to each other. Dude thought he was being hard, but it's like lawl.

People need to stop that shit. There are so many ways to send a message... Forearms, elbows... why would you punch someone in the balls especially the way that he did. In that moment he could have totally body checked him and it would have been a good hit.

I have no problem with what he did. Honestly, they want to pretend they're hit when they're not, they got hit in the balls. Good for Batum.

[RoseCity07]

Honestly this makes me like Batum even more now. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of people talking about how wrong this was. Flopping is wrong.

Batum has been soft his whole career. He needs to get mad at this bullshit and show he gives a damn about the game for once.

[Cangri]

[KDTrey5]

derrrttyy

[RazorBaLade]

Frenchman surrenders after making bold statements


so. surprised.

[Rake2204]

Usually I'm not a fan of rogue retaliation but. . . I was entertained in this case, particularly if it turns out Spain was in fact faking fouls.

I don't believe all "flops" are created equal. I think there's a lot of players who get legitimately fouled, pushed, or held and they exaggerate the contact in an attempt to draw attention to an illegal play. I actually don't have much of a problem with that.

For instance, Ben Wallace would be frequently shoved in the back while he had the inside position for a rebound. Had he merely let himself get pushed under the basket and out of position, his opponent would have gained an advantage through illegal means. Instead, many times, Wallace would intentionally time his jump to coincide with the push in order to allow his body to move forward, thus creating a clear look of displacement to the officials (he'd usually flail his arms for good measure). Again, I never minded that because it was merely an exaggerated response to a legitimately illegal defensive action.

On the flip side, I've always had a problem with players who purposely faked contact and then faked their falls. I guess the best description for this type of flop is "the soccer flop". I reserve this for situations where nothing illegal is occurring, but a player is looking for an out or looking to create the illusion of something illegal. For me, this would be a ballhandler with a defender gently on his hip suddenly spasming and falling to the ground. I have a particular displeasure for those who fake a fall and then also fake an injury.

In these Olympics, I haven't seen a ton of the bad kind of flops, but I've seen enough to know it exists. As such, if it really was a situation where Spain was faking falls in order to draw fouls that didn't exist, I don't have too much of a problem with the rogue justice.

[TexasBloodMoney]

What a piece of shit. Typical frenchman

Wow, way to stereotype a whole country. Of course you're not a piece of shit for doing that.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Batum is simply a sore loser. Like him, many of his teammates are very hungry to defeat Spain, and the reasons are not only the game tanked against Brazil, or the spaniards flops. France has succumbed to Spain in the qualifiers of the last 10 years. They are really frustrated, even in a Pre-Olympic friendly on the 15th of July in their own country Spain beat them in a very ugly game which ended similarly, after losing a another friendly four days earlier in Spain, which was also very tense.

And If we add the rivalry because they are neighboring countries and the historical superiority complex that has France to Spain. It is a cocktail that can be explosive. It seems that some players of the French team feel their chauvinistic pride wounded and simply can not accept that they are inferior.

[jbot]

Yeah (Batman Voice)
is that adam west's voice or christian bale's creepy, forced voice?

come to think of it, bale's batman sounds like he got punched in the coinpurse by batum.

[sfballa13]

Who supports someone punching a grown man in the nuts as hard as he can?

It doesn't matter wtf the team is doing whether they are flopping or tanking you don't fukcing run and punch someone in the balls. Using your stupid logic if someone on the street is doing something insulting or stupid you should punch him in the nuts too???

There is no fukcing reason on this planet to blatantly punch someone in the groin area. That shit doesn't happen in high school sports and sure as shitt shouldn't happen in the Olympics even if the other team was throwing the game or flopping.

If Batum was a man he would go after someone his own size n weight n face them like a man not some pussyyass bitch that comes out of nowhere and punches someone's dick and balls

If this happened at a local gym or on a street court Batum would get his skull punched in by the player he hit, his boys, or his teammates. If this happened in the NBA Batum would definitely get a 5 to 10 game suspension and face fines for justifying in the media with his stupid comments.

Even in the 80s and 90s in games bw bitter rivals shit like this didn't occur bc those players has class and dignity. If they wanted to hurt someone they did it w an elbow or a fist to the stomach not some punk ass behind the back dick punch.

People shit their pants when Harden got elbowed by MWP, Batum ran from a distance to groin sucker punch a guy smaller than him (as his team was about to get eliminated) and that's ok? Give me a damn break. This is pathetic and Fiba or the NBA should fine him for this pusssy move.

The only thing that is a bigger joke than Batum actually doing this are the fans on this board and RealGM justifying his actions saying Navarro and the Spanish team deserved this. No one deserves to get a running close fisted sucker punch to the groin no matter wtf he has done. Batum will always be a punk in my eyes after this especially since he refused to apologize.

Bitter Bitchmade Batum...kinda has a nice ring to it doesnt it?

[Euroleague]

Navarro is a huge bastard. I am sure he deserved it.

With that being said, Batum is a sissy. He put everything he had into that and Navarro barely even reacted.

[Qwertyazerty]

People talking about flopping really didn't watch the game... there was flopping all around starting by the first foul called on Gasol because Turiaf decides to flop with absolutely zero contact in the fight for a rebound. France decided to play hard (because it is the only way they can give a decent fight to Spain) and they lost because all their bigs were in foul troubles after the first Q.

Batum's excuses of Spain loosing on purpose versus Brazil make me angry because France has several times done the same in Eurocup... and he was part of their team.

Throwing a punch into someone can only be interpreted as a tentative to hurt and that should be a direct ban. Ref did watch the video before giving the technical foul and there is no doubt the only purpose was hurting, so they were very nice with Batman.

I really like the player, but those are things I can't accept. I'm fan of MMA, boxing and several fighting sports, I simply don't want it mixed with basketball.

[Qwertyazerty]

Navarro is a huge bastard. I am sure he deserved it.

With that being said, Batum is a sissy. He put everything he had into that and Navarro barely even reacted.

Did you watch the game??? Rudy flopped (which is is signature move), but there is not a single clear flop by Navarro I can remember.

Batum lost his head because French were hurt due to Spain choosing their path to avoid USA in half finals... that must be humiliating, having a team choosing to face yours instead of another and beating you must be frustrating and that's about it.

Bad looser, that can't accept other teams using their own strategy to advance in tournaments... sad!!!

[ThyGreatOne]

Great defense :bowdown: HAHA!!

Naw, for real, this was a total bish move! Completely uncalled for and not the proper way to "retaliate" or "send" a message. Does however make the KG on Frye "junk punch" look like game of tag, your it!

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Exactly. If you're getting angry about the other team flopping then give them a hard ass foul. Hitting someone in the nuts is a bitch move and worse then flopping.

I don't get it. Someone using cheap tactics got hit with a cheap shot. That's all there is. Garnett does it all the time alongside elbows. Never seen people getting angry about it.
I think the unapologetic, clearly blatant, wildly swinging groin punch on the Olympic stage seemed destined to draw more attention than Kevin Garnett slipping in what appears to be a semi-accidental elbow here or there.

Also, I think anytime there's an issue like this, some folks are going to be angry. One group will believe that, regardless of the opposition flopping, it does not warrant physical retribution to the groin. And I think that's a valid point, but it doesn't mean I found it any less entertaining.

[coin24]

It's even better that he didn't just come out with a lame apology and act sorry or whatever:lol
Flopping bitch deserved it:applause:

Hopefully players start elbowing or shouldering guys like griffin and cp3 that constantly flop and cry to the refs,.. If that fails, then nut punch...

Have to agree with euroleague for once though, Fernandez is the worst. Glad he's out of the nba!!

I agree Fernandez does it everytime and it is anoying (even for people like me supporting Spain), but Navarro didn't do any clear flop yesterday while people like Turiaf did it. Batum had several people to go against and choose one of the weakest of the team to beat him nasty. If you think Parker (he made a really funny flopping versus Calderon), Turiaf (flopped with absolutly zero contact in a rebound versus Pau), Diaw and compagny didn't flop then you didn't watch the game but still have an opinion... tipical.

[Rasheed1]

Wow.. I give those guys credit..

I would wait until the final buzzer and suckerpunch the bullsh*t outta anybody who tried to punch me in the nuts..

It's wrong but at least he's showing emotions. He was frustrated. Spain were flopping on slightest contacts and keep b1tching on every calls. The worst part about it Spain purposely lose a game to meet them.

It's wrong but at least he's showing emotions. He was frustrated. Spain were flopping on slightest contacts and keep b1tching on every calls. The worst part about it Spain purposely lose a game to meet them.
I say I don't blame him, I may react the same way, but there's "better" hard fouls to give.
As for Spain losing on purpose, I hate that and I'm now supporting any team to beat Spain. That said, France has done the same before, so they can't complain.
