Basketball: Batum arrived in Caen BC

After Boris Diaw with Bordeaux and Tony Parker with ASVEL, it is now the turn of Nicolas Batum to get involved in the development of the orange ball in France.

The Portland winger decided to invest in the club of National 2 Caen BC. “My ambitions are high but we cannot go faster than the music. Obviously, we would like that the club rises to N1 as soon as possible. The people I met today are expected and professional people who want to go in the right direction, so I hope we will. I know where I started from and where I want to go, but I'm not Tony Parker who took over Villeurbanne Pro A or Boris Diaw who was in Pro B in Bordeaux. We should not therefore cut corners, “ said in the columns of Ouest-France Batum, who joined the management team.

Approached by other clubs, the native of Lisieux chose to close as he admits in the interview. “I do not deny that I had a lot of other proposals, but for me it was unthinkable to go elsewhere. I come here, I was born here. It's normal for me to try to offer to the Normandy and Calvados a basketball male club of high level. “
