Nicolas Batum was born in Lisieux, France on the 14th of December 1988 by his parents Richard Batum and Sylvie Batum. His father was a Camerounian while his mother was French.

As a young boy, he was seen as one of the shiny young basketball stars in Europe when he was drafted at the 2008 NBA Draft. He was in the French national basketball team that clinched the 2004 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship in Greece.

It was more of a double for him when France won the gold medal at the 2006 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship, while he became the tournament’s most valuable player.

Nicolas Batum’s Marriage And Divorce With Melanie Pimentel

The La Clippers’ power forward and Melanie Pimentel married each other on the 13th August 2011 in Saint Ouen, France. Before tying the nuptials, they dated for some time before deciding on taking the relationship to the next level.

Happily married as they were, but sadly, the union didn’t last. It hit the rocks just two years into their matrimony. The couple agreed to settle for divorce citing irreconcilable differences as the main cause of the split in 2013.

In the end, Nic agreed to pay Melanie Pimentel now his ex-wife a sum of $5 million within 3 years as settlement. And $30,000 as spousal support.

1. His Father Played Basketball As A Power Forward

The love of basketball runs deep in the family. His father Richard Batum was a power forward in France’s 2nd tier pro basketball league. He was described as a ‘tough and always ready for a fight’ kind of player.

Batum not only took after his father’s career but also his position of power forward.

2. He Lost His Father At 2

It happened during a game on a night in 1991. The two-year-old boy was there with his mother watching the game from the stands when his father slumped and died.

Batum’s father died at the age of 30.

3. The Death Of His Dad Made Him To Start Playing Basketball

Nicolas Batum wanted to do something in honor of his father’s death, and so he began playing the game his father loved and partook in it. He started playing at a tender age. It immediately became clear that he had his father’s basketball talents.

4. His Draft Status Almost Crumbled In 2008

Serious concerns were raised about his health condition during a workout with the Raptors. It centered on his family’s medical condition, whether any had heart problems or died young.

The power forward informed the club about the death of his father at 30. With this, no one was ready to risk it, so he was put aside. But with the help of his manager N’daiye, and others the issue was sorted out.

He was subsequently selected in the first round as the 25th pick by Houston Rockets in the 2008 NBA Draft.

5. He Punched Juan Carlos Navarro At The London Olympics

It happened during the quarterfinal showdown between Spain and France at the 2012 London Olympics where France lost. He gave Juan Carlos Navarro a punch out of anger.
