Do you know Enes Freedom?



Saw a lot of votes for Enes to win the category for "Best in Post" (alongside his former teammate Steven Adams).

But barely no one uses his current, Enes Freedom.

Enes announced he had changed his name to Enes Kanter Freedom to celebrate his new citizenship, telling WFXT: “America taught me so much, here people should be blessed. You have freedom of speech, freedom of the press and I want to carry that word with me everywhere I go.”

He was born in Switzerland but was raised in Turkey, previously wore the word “Freedom” on his jersey during the 2019-2020 season when the NBA allowed players to replace the names on their jerseys with social justice messages.

    As much as his name seems like a meme, I remember a few years ago when his family was in real trouble with the Turkish government because of his stances. Love the dude for what he meant to our team at a very particular time. Hope everything is smoothing out back home too.

  2. Enes Freedom is a badass motherfucker and I will support him forever!
