Al-P: I didn’t go to any courses. Actually, when I first came to the USA, my English level was nearly at zero, I learned it here. I speak since I am not a very shy person, I try to speak even if it is [grammatically] wrong. I can say that I just learned by speaking. My friends also helped me. [Cut scene here] I always try to do the best both for the team and myself. I especially represent both my family and my country here, so I have to do the best I can for everyone. Of course, these records are good memories for me. I will always try to do my best. I will break the records that I can. These are good memories to me. I am happy.
I: Your team is closely followed in Turkey. It has suddenly become a fan-favorite among the basketball fans in Turkey. There is a very big interest and compliment towards you from the Turkish youth. Do you follow these?
Al-P: Sure, I see thee messages, comments… Majority of Turkey supports me, which makes me very happy. Even our elderly send a lot of messages. I really like this situation. It really means a lot to me that they are supporting me all the way from home. I will only continue to be an example for the youth and do the best I can. Of course, I would like them to talk about me [look up to me] just as I looked up to Hidayet Turkoglu and Mehmet Okur when I was a child. I hope I can leave good memories for them.
I: Rıdvan Dilmen praised you so much and he received a lot of positive and negative feedback about it, what do you think about it? [For context, Rıdvan Dilmen, an ex-soccer player and current soccer commentator, thought that Al-P was the youngest ever player in the NBA to reach a Triple Double and claimed that it has shown that Sengun is already among the best of the best in NBA and that it was the biggest success in Turkish sports history, and continued to claim it even though being corrected multiple times]
Al-P: I would just like to thank him. The rest doesn’t interest me so much, I just want to thank to him for speaking highly of me. These things [the triple double] happen all the time. Of course, it has gone viral and made a big impression.
I: You are attending the opening of Consulate General of Turkey in Houston today. Surely, Americans also have a very big interest and love for you. What are your future career plans? How do you foresee your future NBA career?
AL-P: I want to be one of the best players in the NBA. Of course, my career plans are to become a champion and All-Star. I hope I will stay in Houston for many years. I believe that I can get many championships and break many records here. I hope I will do these, I want to stay here.

Alperen should stay away from that shit.
I know he is not pro-government specially his father doesn’t support them. but they are pushing Alperen to create unhealthy image like he is supporting them. Alperen should stay away from them as much as possible. He shouldn’t be part of their sportwashing propaganda.
