Charlotte Hornets’ Nicolas Batum apologizes for failing to meet expectations after signing a contract worth about 120 million over 5 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI apologize to the people here,\u201d Batum said, \u201c<\/a>because they put so much faith in me. And it didn\u2019t go well\u2026. It didn\u2019t work out. But what do I have to do? Because I\u2019m still here.\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to be selfish \u2026 I don\u2019t want to be that guy who\u2019s like, \u2018OK, let\u2019s go out tonight. Coach sucks. Don\u2019t show up. You shoot 25 times a game; don\u2019t listen to him.\u2019 No. I won\u2019t do that. I don\u2019t need that. They don\u2019t need that.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t live up to expectations the last 2-3 years,\u201d Batum said. \u201cI understand that. I know that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
