As an NBA fan, this is really disappointing.

Enes Kanter Freedom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enes Kanter Freedom (Turkish pronunciation: [eˈnes kanˈtæɾ]; born Enes Kanter; May 20, 1992) is a Swiss-born American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected as the third overall pick of the 2011 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz. A center, Kanter has played for five NBA teams since entering the league in 2011. He has represented the Turkish national team in international play.

Kanter is known for his pro-democracy activism and for his outspoken criticism of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Kanter became an American citizen on November 29, 2021, and also legally changed his name to Enes Kanter Freedom at the same time to mark the occasion.

Don't think he's going to CPAC to teach them ball handling......

4. Scumbag.

Since when did CPAC care about Muslims? When did they care about anyone but reactionary racists?

5. "Are you out of your mind??! A Muslim, vegan, cult member as a

speaker?!...... Wait.... he's going to be saying what? And he likes who? Oh well, in that case. Give him a prime spot!!! "

I imagine that's more or less how that went.

6. He's going to speak to a bunch of racists that hate him.

And the worst part is that room embraces wannabe hard men like the ones in Turkey.

7. They found a willing tool from casting. Nt

10. I think Lloyd Free did a much better job many years ago

changing his name to World B Free.

This gut is just a confused loon. I hope his teammates tell him what an idiot he is. NBA players are more outspoken than baseball players on politics for sure.

11. fucking Enes Cancer, he's not fighting anything but human decency

[RANDYWILDMAN]

12. A rich entitled person telling crazy and rich entitled people

his truth. Sounds like a yawner. Maybe he could spin some tails about how he pulled himself up from his 6ft 10 in bootstraps or something. I am sure he will spin some anti vaxx, pro trump red meat for the crew who can't think. Everybody can go home, happy but numb.

13. How many conventions do these idiots have a year?

It will be all over cspan, as always. Please stop giving them oxygen.
