The Enes Kanter Freedom beef with Lebron James is really weird.
I get Lebron is the face of the league, but to only focus on him and not other players and/or, more importantly, the owners seem like he has a personal issue with Lebron.
He’s now an American citizen and has taken shot after shot at Lebron since. But to be fair, he was taking those same shots before he became a citizen.
Freedom has had an opportunity to talk to Lebron about his issues many times. Lebron even said that Freedom saw him in the hall at one of the games against the Celtics, and he didn’t say anything.
Days later, Freedom would appear on Fox News to refute James’ claim of how things transpired at TD Garden, adding that he would be willing to have “a very uncomfortable conversation” in an attempt to educate the Lakers superstar.
At the end of November, Freedom officially received United States citizenship, making the change of his surname official.
In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Freedom called receiving citizenship “the greatest day of my life,” expressing his gratefulness by saying “people should feel really blessed and lucky to be in America because they love to criticize it but when you live in a country like Turkey or China or somewhere else, you will appreciate the freedoms you have here.”
Freedom continued, adding that “I feel like they should just please keep their mouths shut and stop criticizing the greatest nation in the world.”
Most recently, he had a chance to say something to Lebron last night when the two teams played and again was silent.
Some very weird behavior.
Once again, Enes might have a good message in there somewhere, but he is going about it the wrong way, and going on shows like Tucker Carlson is a quick way to have people tune you out.
