Who would've thought that Charlotte Hornets guard Nicolas Batum could direct ill will toward another player?

Well, he certainly did during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

In a game against Spain, the French guard threw an overhand right into Spanish player Juan Carlos Navarro's beanbag.

"What happened is, I lost it because I was mad because I wanted so bad to go to the finals," Batum later told BlazersEdge. "So bad. The situation with what they had done the game before against Brazil, a lot of things, flopping, I was mad. We're rivals now, Spain and France. That's not good what I've done, especially with young kids watching. I won't do it again."
