Batum!

Got to go see the Blazers beat the Hornets (if that's still what they're called, as everyone knows that North Carolina is famous for its hornets, wasps, asps, and bees) on Friday, and it only made my love for Nicolas Batum grow stronger. He's 19 years old. He's French. And he's amazing. (I'm sorry that this is the best clip I could find, but not really, because all of these highlights seem to involve the utter abuse of Andrei Kirilenko, which I find very life-affirming to watch.)
