Enes Kanter

Surely there’s no way Enes Kanter declines his $18.6 million player option for next season and becomes a free agency this summer. Right? Most still consider the New York Knicks’ big man a lock to opt in. He isn’t getting that kind of money per year in this year’s market. The league is still recovering [...]

Enes Kanter is a very passionate,outspoken and loyal person. He takes the “us vs them” mentality to the extreme and does not back down from letting those he is in opposition know it. From his disapproval of the government in his home country of Turkey (he has a point) and his run-ins with opposing players [...]

As backwards as things seem to be in this country right now, you still have to remember that things could be much different if we lived in an actual dictatorship. In these sort of societies, activism and dissension are not only discouraged, they can be illegal. Enes Kanter has been very vocal with his disapproval [...]

Remember how we said to know better than to expect the LeBron James-Enes Kanter beef to fade off into the sunset, or at least until the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks meet again in April?

Enes Kanter is still riding with his former team. The Oklahoma City Thunder are now 8-12 following their Wednesday night loss to the Orlando Magic.

LeBron James earned his first-ever ejection late in the third quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat. And to answer your question: Yes, he appeared just as surprised as you seem right now. The ejection itself was inconsequential. The Cavaliers were up by 23 points at the time and had [...]

Here’s hoping you didn’t expect the beef between LeBron James and Enes Kanter to subside anytime soon. Because it’s not going to. What started as LeBron taking jabs at Phil Jackson while indirectly marginalizing Frank Ntilikina has since evolved into an on-court scuffle and full-out war of words and Instagram posts and responses to those [...]

Sigh, Enes. During the New York Knicks’ Monday night loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Enes Kanter did a good thing: came to the defense of rookie Frank Ntilikina, who found himself in the middle of a miniature scuffle with LeBron James—no doubt the result of lingering tension following the latter’s sentiments on Dennis Smith Jr. [...]
