French legend Nicolas Batum has retired with his national team, but he remained an active supporter of France during the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket. On Sunday, he aired his frustration with Luka Doncic fans following a controversial incident in Slovenia’s loss against France, where Sylvain Francisco scored a late-game basket even if the result was already decided.
In an X post, Batum exposed fans’ racist comments on Francisco, while expressing his disgust for their behavior during the tournament.
“Some of y’all are SICK even if you disagree with a BASKETBALL play, racism and hate are NEVER ACCEPTABLE at all. After Dennis Schroder earlier, now this… Major props to Sylvain, great game brother. Keep shining and making us proud🫡🇫🇷,” Batum wrote.
