Nic Batum, you’ve been traded to the Charlotte Hornets already this summer. What are you going to do now?

The answer, apparently, is go to Disneyland Paris.

Batum, a Frenchman who came to the Hornets in a trade that sent shooting guard Gerald Henderson and power forward Noah Vonleh to Portland, posed with Goofy at Le Royaume Magique on July 11.

Batum, who also plays for the French National Team, isn’t limiting his travels to his home country. He’ll also play in the first NBA Africa Game, Aug. 1 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

It’s a small world, after all.
