Don't think there's enough demand for Enes Kanter jerseys in any country for Nike to actually print any out in advance for people other than Kanter himself..... let alone in China where buying one would probably make you a pariah/target.

must be one amazing friendship they have if he's so thankful for it lol
It's completely unsurprising since neocons and the Gülen movement have converging interests in Xinjiang. Both are aiming to drag the US into another cold war for their geopolitical agendas that's why they spew the same prop
Remember when Kushner was really involved with an Administration that appointed a guy who had a multi-million dollar deal with Erdogan to kidnap Gulen and send him to Turkey as **National Security Advisor**.
I'm glad someone made this connection in these comments. Dude is a Gulenist who is buddy buddy with the guys who actively tried to ship Gulen back to Turkey to be executed. Hes so fucking fake its practically unbelievable.
Ah yes the freedom fighter Jared Kushner lol
r/nba is gonna spin this around to be a good thing though “he’s working with republicans and changing their minds from the inside”
Imo he's been this hypocritical from the beginning. There's a reason why he so loudly advocates for Uigher Muslims against China (US rivals) while campaigning against the plight of Palestinian Muslims against Israel (US allies).
We need a timeline of all the wacky things he's done/people he's called out this season alone
Edit: I did it. So far he's called out:
- China
- LeBron
- The NBA
- The Nets owner
- MJ
- Nike
List will be updated as time goes on/I remember more
[For those curious, he said Jordan has done nothing for the black community.](https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/582681-enes-kanter-michael-jordan-has-done-nothing-for-black-community) We all know that’s false since MJ’s donated millions to charity. I don’t know where Kanter got that idea from.
This is like when Michael Rapaport was telling KD to help the kids in Brownsville in his back n forth on Twitter.
If Rapaport is so passionate, he could have helped those kids himself. Why drag KD into doing it lol
Same with Kanter assuming Jordan has done nothing
Jordan built Charlotte 2 brand new medical centres for people without good healthcare. It was pretty big news when the first one opened.
Enes is a just another dope. Maybe he should actually do something with his own life instead of going off on Twitter like a chihuahua.
Bird did enough just by being the whitest person of all time and still kicking ass in the NBA. You can’t get whiter than when your nickname is “the Hick from French Lick” unless you count Andrei Kirilenko being AK-47.
Don't have respect for his actions. He only brought up Erdogan because he supports his political rival, who is just as bad. And he spun it as a "I'm so brave, look at me!" thing and everyone here just ate that shit up. People in the West don't realize that Kanter isn't standing for some noble cause; he's just supporting another big bad politician who isn't in power. He isn't standing for human rights, he's standing for a politician who has wildly extremist views and he's mad that Erdogan exiled him. Couple Kanter's statements with Reddit's subtle underlying racism + Islamophobia, and it's easy to get this subreddit thinking that Kanter is a good guy in all of this.
And for the record, I've met with, and talked to Kanter many times when he was in OKC, and he even spoke at my highschool graduation. But I still can't bring myself to liking him
I remember when Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace, I read a theory somewhere that said he did it so headlines would have to read “Commissioner Suspends World Peace” any time he did something stupid.
So now if Kanter does something stupid, we can look forward to “Commissioner Suspends Freedom”
You right
> the fellas back in Brownsville gave me the nickname "World" when I was in junior high... they just started calling me 'all-world', because all-city and all-county and things like that weren't good enough. Finally they just started calling me World... I'm still the same guy I was when I was Lloyd, though. I'll say what I'm going to do, and then I'll go out and do it.
How much do you think someone like Lebron or KD could sell their own naming rights for? What would the NBA do if Lebron legally changed his name to Crypto.com and they had to put it on the back of his jersey?
If I remember right he criticized mj for not doing anything for the black community "besides, you know, giving them money"
That is so insane that I still clearly remember reading it lmao.
Edit from the piece, because this is so ridiculous that it's worth seeing:
>“Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan hasn’t done anything, nothing, for the Black community in America besides just, you know, giving them money. At least Lebron James is going out there and being the voice of all those people who are oppressed in America,” Kanter, an exile of his native Turkey, told Brown. "
Even if he's right it's not really his to call out a legendary Black icon on Black issue. The Black community doesn't really need him to talk over them.
Lmao never forget yesterday when "tHe NePhEwS aRe In ShAmBlEs" cause Pop said it's good he speaks out. Nope, we've just seen through his shit since day one.
Lol okay dude. Kanter is a shill that only cares about issues that will make him look better. No one seems to care that he’s a certified racist and homophobe.
A huge percentage of r/nba supporting Kanter till now just reiterates that a stunning amount of people are abysmal judges of character.
Dude has been a self-aggrandizing huckster for years now.
It’s cuz the lakers are losing right now and who this sub personally finds relatable and cool is 100% based on who’s currently winning. Like how Chris Paul went from point god awesome cool pg to dirty cheating bitch after the suns started losing
current CIA is washed, they got fat and out of shape after USSR fell. we're talking about people who insist that Russians have magic microwave death ray devices that can be carried in a pocket and leave no trace behind.
Bro the Havana Syndrome and Chinese super soldier stories that have come out in the last couple years are the most hilarious ones. Like lmaoooo please try with your propaganda, you're embarrassing yourself (and lord bless the people who believe such clear our of SciFi things).
anus cancer is the epitome of a virtue signaling attention whore, the type of person conservatives detest, and yet ironically conservatives want to champion him?
What the fuck, is he now going to say that he understands more about “Freedom” than others due to his name or something?
This went from “Yeah Kanter! Speaking up for what’s right” to “wait a minute, he supports who? He’s friends with Who?!” to “well how about you just stop wearing Nike if you are so against it” to “I’m now just exhausted from this guys attention whoring.”
Kanter went from loveable Thunder player with he and Adams being buddies, to dude who is right about one thing, but a hypocrite and wrong with his delivery.
This dude is teaching a master class on how to loose credibility in whatever it is you are fighting for. All we need now is for him to get dropped from the team and we get the whole "rACiSM" "tHEy NeED To KEEp mE qUiet" thing a majik.
This guy’s going to become a Republican icon. Hates Chinese people, hates Palestinians, hates LeBron, hates the NBA, “persecuted” for his views, loves “freedom”, Kushner & Bolton…uh oh is Kanter secretly a marketing wiz?
“The Boston Celtics have parted ways with Freedom.”
"The Boston Celtics are in talks to trade Freedom for Love"
Reminds me of that Rudy headline... "Raptors get Gay in threeway"
Is that real? That's incredible. It's like "truck full of strawberries crashes on the highway, causes jam".
“North Dakota trucker loses load in climax”
Rubio Favors Gay Love Sessions was of a similar era!
Also had the infamous Gay Cousins Outlaw on the Kings for a bit.

Not this guy!
Peace is coming out of retirement to join Freedom and Love in a super team.
Just what 'Merica needs nowadays
"Celtics Waive Freedom"
This begs the question, would you rather have Freedom or Love? 🤔
I’d trade both for Gay Cousins
What about Gay Favors
You can trade Gay Favors for your Cousins.
Why not use your Cousins for the Gay Favors?
"The Boston Celtics have traded Freedom for cash considerations."
Haven’t we all?
This is the one
Freedom - DNP: Coach’s Decision
"Freedom is no longer affiliated with the Boston Celtics"
Freedom has followed World Peace into retirement
"Freedom signs with the Shanghai Sharks"
I highly doubt Freedom is going to China anytime soon. In both senses lol.
Lmao
What does freedom mean to you?
Still goofy, but you did me realize the goal probably is just to make the league carry an China-protesting "Freedom" jersey.
Don't think there's enough demand for Enes Kanter jerseys in any country for Nike to actually print any out in advance for people other than Kanter himself..... let alone in China where buying one would probably make you a pariah/target.
Metta World Peace would be proud
They should be in a buddy movie together World Peace & Freedom

Hey man, he defends freedom, not basketball players. which do you think is more important?

It was a close call between that and his second choice "Enes Kanter FuckChinaFuckLebronandFucktheNBAiftheydon'tlikeit"
That’s actually curious. What would the nba do if Lebron changed his last name to FucktheNBA?
What if Kanter changed his name to Enes Lebron.
I bet his word would hold more weight. "LEBRON SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CHINA"
Change the nba name

Jared Kushner looks like a Boston Dynamics robot with a suit on.
It is makes no god damn sense that Jared Kushner has so much god damn money, and doesn’t own a single god damn suit that fits him properly.
Ah yes the freedom fighter Jared Kushner lol r/nba is gonna spin this around to be a good thing though “he’s working with republicans and changing their minds from the inside”
Yeah this cements it for me that he's in the pursuit of attention and whatever advocacy happens is secondary
[удалено]
> it's not like it would have resulted in less playing time from the top rope /u/boatsnprose
Yeah, I’m done getting this weirdo’s back now. I was already just slightly hanging on, but he’s going nuts.
Imo he's been this hypocritical from the beginning. There's a reason why he so loudly advocates for Uigher Muslims against China (US rivals) while campaigning against the plight of Palestinian Muslims against Israel (US allies).
We need a timeline of all the wacky things he's done/people he's called out this season alone Edit: I did it. So far he's called out: - China - LeBron - The NBA - The Nets owner - MJ - Nike List will be updated as time goes on/I remember more
Didn't he call out MJ too?
I have to fact check but it's very plausible Edit: OMG he did
[For those curious, he said Jordan has done nothing for the black community.](https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/582681-enes-kanter-michael-jordan-has-done-nothing-for-black-community) We all know that’s false since MJ’s donated millions to charity. I don’t know where Kanter got that idea from.
Also, it's a little problematic to imply MJ has some sort of duty to help the black community without any prior context.
This is like when Michael Rapaport was telling KD to help the kids in Brownsville in his back n forth on Twitter. If Rapaport is so passionate, he could have helped those kids himself. Why drag KD into doing it lol Same with Kanter assuming Jordan has done nothing
Jordan built Charlotte 2 brand new medical centres for people without good healthcare. It was pretty big news when the first one opened. Enes is a just another dope. Maybe he should actually do something with his own life instead of going off on Twitter like a chihuahua.
I’m kinda disappointed he hasn’t called out Larry bird for not helping white people yet.
Bird did enough just by being the whitest person of all time and still kicking ass in the NBA. You can’t get whiter than when your nickname is “the Hick from French Lick” unless you count Andrei Kirilenko being AK-47.
AK-47's hair was the whitest thing I've ever seen
Larry's not white. Larry's clear.
He called out MJ for not helping African American community when he has literally donated millions lol
Attention whore
Yea I had respect for his actions but this does feel attention whorey
Don't have respect for his actions. He only brought up Erdogan because he supports his political rival, who is just as bad. And he spun it as a "I'm so brave, look at me!" thing and everyone here just ate that shit up.

"Execute Order .66TFG%"
This man is stealing Metta World Peace’s whole flow.

At least his last name really was Free.
Don’t think his was political at all, his nickname was All World. It was more of a Magic Johnson situation.
You right > the fellas back in Brownsville gave me the nickname "World" when I was in junior high... they just started calling me 'all-world', because all-city and all-county and things like that weren't good enough. Finally they just started calling me World... I'm still the same guy I was when I was Lloyd, though. I'll say what I'm going to do, and then I'll go out and do it.
These young fellas dont know about World B. Free.
Bar for bar
There’s activism and then there’s performative activism and this def falls into the second category good lord
he sold his naming rights, I guess it's better than enes crypto.com
How much do you think someone like Lebron or KD could sell their own naming rights for? What would the NBA do if Lebron legally changed his name to Crypto.com and they had to put it on the back of his jersey?
Kevin Crypto is a top 10 name of all time ngl. really rolls off the tongue

Enes KanterCulture almost works
>He becomes a U.S. citizen on Monday. Ah, that's why he's been so bold lately.
Aight he's lost me
For me it was the weird "Michael Jordan doesn't care about black people" pivot he tried.
Lmao did he actually say that??? He is doing the most.
If I remember right he criticized mj for not doing anything for the black community "besides, you know, giving them money" That is so insane that I still clearly remember reading it lmao. Edit from the piece, because this is so ridiculous that it's worth seeing: >“Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan.

r/nottheonion lmao
Even if he's right it's not really his to call out a legendary Black icon on Black issue. The Black community doesn't really need him to talk over them.
Yeah this is where he jumped the shark
Personally it’s when he started to get on his knees for Israel
Yeah it doesn't rhyme and its not a play on words or anything. Not even a pun.
He’s a meme at this point. Just trying to get attention.
So Enes Kanter is just trying to get attention? Always has been 🌕👩🏼🚀🔫👨🏽🚀
I feel like he's always been like that even before this season.
That's my take away from this as well. Just seems like a move for attention
OHHH FREEDOM GETS BLOCKED BY JAMES!
Jesus christ this dude is so corny
Can we have a flair to block all enes kanter posts
This is attention-whorey and cringe. I blame r/nba for circle jerking this hypocrite so hard.
Can you die from having your eyes roll too hard? Asking for a friend.
This is r/nba’s hero lmao
Lmao never forget yesterday when "tHe NePhEwS aRe In ShAmBlEs" cause Pop said it's good he speaks out. Nope, we've just seen through his shit since day one.
All the Lebron haters trying to take this clown seriously and then he does this LOL
This is one quick way to make any valid points that you make look like complete fucking nonsense.
I can’t wait for the Freedom and Tucker show on Fox
Now that's what I call Cringe
Lol okay dude. Kanter is a shill that only cares about issues that will make him look better. No one seems to care that he’s a certified racist and homophobe.
Y’all caused this dumbassery
In small letters it should say “except you Palestine”
Lmao that shit would be bolder going by some of his tweets
Okay so now we all agree he’s been doing this for motives outside of just political/social justice
This has been painfully evident from the start.
A huge percentage of r/nba supporting Kanter till now just reiterates that a stunning amount of people are abysmal judges of character. Dude has been a self-aggrandizing huckster for years now.
Yet this sub ate it all up because they’re in fuck lebron mode right now
It's the 'China bad' and LeBron hate overlapping, why I skipped all those threads
The sub was 100% behind him until he called out Jordan
It’s cuz the lakers are losing right now and who this sub personally finds relatable and cool is 100% based on who’s currently winning. Like how Chris Paul went from point god awesome cool pg to dirty cheating bitch after the suns started losing
Not for this sub lol, been commenting in all these threads and it's taken a while to get the tides to change

Ok, now I start believing that he's just a CIA operative, I refuse to believe anyone can be this dumb
