We're Not Calling Him Enes "Freedom"

Enes Kanter has been loud and annoying for several years now. A guy who is only in the NBA because he’s 7 feet tall and can grab a few extra rebounds while the talented players around him do everything else. He has now taken his annoying nonsense to the next level as he’s become this odd Borat character repeating over and over how much he loves America and freedom or whatever other random things he’s read on the back of a penny.

During his press tour ¹, he’s changed his name to Enes Freedom to both exhibit the ‘freedom’ he has in America as well as continue his one-man mission to make sure Enes’s name is trending every other day.

All this for a crumb of clout. Pathetic.

A few months ago he was quoted in a Rolling Stone article about being pro-vaccine but there’s something hollow about regurgitating an obvious belief that all liberals already internalize. You don’t trend on Twitter for shouting in your own echo chamber.

No, his real success came from his appearances with Tucker Carlson.

This is the part of the article where I point out the wild bullshit taking place here.

Tucker Carlson is famous for being xenophobic and Islamaphobic while Enes Kanter is both an immigrant and Muslim. These two men should not be having a friendly conversation and are only doing so for their own personal gain. It’s cringeworthy as hell. Honestly rather watch Kanter’s 12 meaningless minutes a game.

But according to Tucker, and his audience who know and agree with his racism, you can be forgiven for your brown skin and non-English speaking as long as you smile ear-to-ear and publicly throw your morals in the trash.

It’s also hilarious to spend the entire interview talking about how much freedom you have in American compared to Turkey or wherever and then immediately follow that up by telling people to shut up and stop criticizing America.

Enes Freedom has told us that you’d be executed for publicly criticizing the government. What he doesn’t realize—mainly because every conservative keeps calling him ‘brave’ and ‘courageous’—is that he is just a puppet saying pro-America lazy bullshit and he isn’t testing his American freedoms at all.

But there is something very American about his thirst for a pat on the back. I’m sure these corny Boston Celtic Enes Freedom jerseys are going to fly off the shelf. He’s going to be invited to speak at Trump rallies.

Conservatives talk big about their guns and their hypotheticals about what they’d do to stop a terrorist attack or what they’d do if Black Lives Matters protested in their neighborhood but Enes Kanter’s Fox News run shows exactly what these people all are: terrified babies who want safety and friends.

Enes is afraid of the Turkish government so he’s open mouth kissing conservatives because they call him brave and make him feel safe. All he has to do is keep saying how much of a coward LeBron James is and he’ll have all the love and affection from people who would otherwise hate him solely based on his country of origin.

He’s even gone as far as saying that he wants to ‘sit down’ with LeBron and educate him on the issues facing Chinese people. I guess he hopes that LeBron cuts ties with any business deals he may have over there even though LeBron doesn’t receive paychecks directly from the Chinese government and whatever partners he has are not responsible for the wrong-doings of their dictators.

Surely, Enes knows this and just wants all the attention that comes from having your name in headlines with LeBron James. I have a hard time believing Enes Freedom genuinely cares about Chinese freedom when he spends all of his time on a national news network talking about all the people who don’t care instead of giving us specific information and facts that would make us care.

Have a mentioned yet that Enes Kanter is a clout-chasing loser with zero friends and zero integrity who is starving for notoriety and has chosen the lamest way to get love as opposed to developing meaningful lasting relationships with real people who truly have his best interests in mind.

He also looks like the type of guy who makes every girl uncomfortable by asking them for hugs. Strooooong “where’s my hug at?” energy from this 29-year old little boy.

And real quick—because I literally just learned how old he is—it’s fascinating seeing both Enes Kanter and Kyrie Irving hit age 29 and desperately search for a larger meaning of life and where they fit into things. Both men think they’re changing the world and wow are they both missing it.
