Batum and Atkinson’s relationship has extended beyond just the NBA. Both grew close during their time together out west, and they reconnected last summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics on the same sidelines with Équipe de France de basketball. “We ended up on the national team because we never stopped talking about it, and he ended up with us, and that was great,” Batum said. “French guys, they all play,” Atkinson said. “They play for their national team, and that's not every country. A lot of the other countries, guys sit out. The French guys play, and he was our captain with Team France.”

Joey Linn: Nicolas Batum on Chris Paul: “I texted him the first day that happened… I obviously have a ton of respect for him… 21 years and a Hall of Famer… I got a chance to play with a lot of great players.

Like everybody else, I just woke up and found out about the news. It is what it is, the situation upstairs… If something happened, I don’t really know about it… It’s sad sometimes to be part of that.
