Nic Batum Viciously Punches Juan Carlos Navarro in Groin During Closing Seconds of Olympic Quarterfinal (Animation)

Nic Batum is a sore loser, but Juan Carlos Navarro is going to be sore after this one.

In the closing seconds of Spain’s 66-59 victory over France, the French forward wound up and committed a very hard foul on Navarro. It’s unclear whether Batum was aiming for a sensitive area or just got carried away committing a hard foul, but either way it’s very painful to watch.

Check it out in the animation below.
