Live broadcast, October 13 news recently, Clippers player Batum accepted an exclusive interview with French media CANAL + and talked about his mental health problems.
Batum’s father fainted on the court when he took part in free throws in professional basketball matches at the age of 31, and was later diagnosed as having died of an aneurysm. Batum, who was two and a half years old at that time, and his mother witnessed all this in the stands.
In this regard, Batum recalled: “The fact is that playing basketball is a very complicated thing for me. I was only two and a half years old when my father died, so before my son was three years old, I experienced a very difficult period. For me, playing games is a challenge.”
“I thought I would never come back. I was sure that what happened to my father would also happen to me-leaving my family. I told my wife not to come to watch my game, because I would like to see them standing in the stands in the future. On the spiritual level, it was very, very difficult for me. At that time, I spent the most difficult season in wasp, and that season was also a part of the whole thing. I admit that I cried before the competition because I thought I would never go home.” Batum said.
Before the draft conference in 2008, Batum was diagnosed with heart disease. Later Batum was treated and recovered. Then he was selected by the pioneers on the 25th.
When talking about the disease history of his family, Batum said, “This is terrible, because as long as I talk about these, I will recall the doctor’s diagnosis of me.”
